Morgan Rae will bring the Seaweed SuiteTM to YAS for the first time!
L’EAUTELIER is a marine-based design studio shaping better ways to live, travel, and host—through water. We work with ocean-derived and bio-based materials such as algae to replace synthetics across hospitality, travel, and everyday rituals. Part atelier, part service provider, L’EAUTELIER designs objects, interiors, and experiences that perform at a premium level, are fairly priced, and quietly beautiful. Our approach is rooted in circular design: materials are chosen so that waste becomes a resource, not an afterthought. From hotel rooms and airline cabins to immersive spaces and operating supplies, we help brands and travelers move beyond compromise and into thoughtful, regenerative choices.
Travelers today demand change, yet often struggle to find eco-conscious hotels that don’t sacrifice quality for sustainability. The Seaweed SuiteTM by Morgan Rae from L’eautelier solves this paradox. This travelling pop-up demonstrates how seaweed can transform the hospitality sector.
The Seaweed SuiteTM will open the doors to the general public for the first time during YAS26! Young Algaeneers will gain exclusive access, combined with a hands-on algae-printing workshop!
