VANTAGE WALL
HANDCRAFTED EXCELLENCE
At HAUHAU, we believe the home cinema is the entertainment showpiece of the modern home, which is why at HAUHAU our signature Vantage Wall combines timeless design with the world's finest materials and cutting-edge technology to create a stunning centrepiece for your bespoke home cinema.
Each design is entirely unique and tailored to your individual tastes, incorporating elements such as rich American walnut for the signature Vantage Wall fins, leather inlay details, or sleek oak elements framed by bronze architectural accents.
Every design features a Leica Cine1 laser projector and Bang & Olufsen sound system, with HAUHAU creating bespoke entertainment walls that are uniquely designed to meet your exact needs and taste, whilst also surpassing your expectations.
SUCCESS STORY
The Lakes By Yoo House
This beautiful property, located just outside The Cotswolds, features charcoal oak fins with a black leather inlay, framed by a light bronze arch that demonstrates HAUHAU’S unparalleled craftsmanship. A Leica Cine1 laser projector provides the display, while Bang & Olufsen's sound system fills the room with immersive audio for memorable entertainment experiences, all seamlessly integrated into our handcrafted frameworks.
“We recently decided to remodel our kitchen, and after looking at various luxury brands, it was clear that a HAUHAU kitchen was for us.
We instantly fell in love with the elegant yet modern design and sympathetic use of beautiful materials. It was important for us that our most used room wasn’t “style over substance”. Ben listened to how we use our space and took on board our extensive wish list and came up with the most beautiful designs, incorporating ideas that we would never have thought of ourselves. He was so accommodating with my constant questions and “what abouts?” and would always explain why something would or would not work or come up with a way to improve upon an idea.
We loved that we were included in the design process to create our perfect family space; it has made the room so much more personal and bespoke to us.
HAUHAU excelled themselves, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them, not only for their designs and quality of craftsmanship but also for their ability to communicate, share their knowledge, and understand the customers’ needs.
We certainly didn’t get “style over substance”. What we did get was the most stylish and substantial kitchen we could have imagined!”
— Mr & Mrs Arundel
WHAT DEFINES A BESPOKE VANTAGE WALL
A signature Vantage Wall represents the ultimate expression of entertainment luxury. It's where the family gathers for film nights, friends catch up for sports events, or you simply unwind after a busy day at work with your favourite music playing from cutting-edge surround sound systems.
ARTISANAL FURNITURE CREATION
Each Vantage Wall is expertly handcrafted according to your preferences, ensuring the design feels like part of the home's existing aesthetic and character. Every handmade wood fin, carefully chosen metal arch frame, and complementary detailed finish is individually selected for your unique space, without any compromise on performance.
ARCHITECTURAL HARMONY
We understand the home cinema is where memories are made and experiences are shared, which is why HAUHAU decided to elevate that experience through the creation of their signature Vantage Wall. Our bespoke approach combines heritage craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation, resulting in designs that are elegant, understated, and made to be lived in.
THOUGHTFUL SPACE ORCHESTRATION
Every bespoke Vantage Wall begins with understanding your personal taste and entertainment routine. Whether creating an intimate space for your peaceful evening viewing or a dramatic statement piece for lively entertainment gatherings, our designs start and end with putting you and your preferences above all else. We create designs that respect your home's existing architecture whilst creating new, yet natural, design flow from the entertainment space and beyond.
HIGH-QUALITY MATERIAL SELECTION
We source the world's finest materials only from trusted suppliers who meet our unwavering quality standards, allowing us to create your Vantage wall in a way that combines stunning visual impact with uncompromising durability. Whether it’s rich American walnut or lighter notes of warm mahogany, every surface is individually selected to complement the overall design of your bespoke Vantage Wall.
INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS
Professional-grade entertainment systems are expertly incorporated into your bespoke designs, with Leica Cine1 laser projectors and Bang & Olufsen sound systems carefully chosen to complement the chosen colour palettes and desired end look. Smart lighting solutions, concealed wiring, and hidden technical infrastructure keep functionality top of mind whilst preserving the clean elegance essential to luxury entertainment design.
THE HAUHAU DESIGN PROCESS
-
Our expert design team will take your initial concepts and elevate them beyond your wildest dreams, guiding you through every step of the process as we make it a reality.
Our philosophy is to work in close partnership with our clients, providing creative and innovative solutions through genuine collaboration and careful consideration of your needs and desires.
Once we receive your inquiry, we will contact you to introduce ourselves and discuss the outline of your project. Along with your ideas and brief, we will require a plan to work from. This can be in the form of your architect’s drawings or, if there is a physical space, ideally a visit to your residence to carry out a survey.
Following this process we can begin to prepare your design.
-
After our first consultation, our expert design team will work on your concept, developing, enhancing, and elevating it beyond your expectations into a truly remarkable design.
From our initial sketches, we will prepare full working CAD drawings along with visuals, palettes, and material choices—from your primary finish through to your internal colorway—for your review.
-
Once you have commissioned HAUHAU for your project, we will finalize any changes you may wish to make to your design, appliance list, material choices, and then proceed to contract your order.
At this stage we will engage with your contractors, and any other parties involved with your project to provide the relevant information they require (along with mechanical and electrical working drawings) and will remain in constant communication with them to monitor your schedule, ensuring everything stays on track.
-
Your order will now enter production in our workshop.
We pride ourselves on the meticulous quality of craftsmanship achieved by our expert cabinet makers.
The HAUHAU workshop is not a production line.
Every project is assigned to one maker at a time, who crafts and hand-makes every aspect of your order to exacting standards by combining cutting-edge technology with the most exquisite of materials.
It is in this way that we have truly set ourselves apart and surpassed the industry with our standard.
-
Now it is time for your design to become a reality!
After diligently managing your project's schedule to ensure a smooth and on-time fulfillment, HAUHAU will deliver and install your furniture to the very highest standard while ensuring the utmost consideration for your residence.
-
On completion of your new kitchen, we arrange for renowned chef Elliot Johnson-Paul of JP Dining to come in and prepare a complimentary private dining experience in your new space to ensure you truly experience every aspect in its full glory.
Simply sit back, relax, and enjoy your new HAUHAU kitchen.
