FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
BD: The main concept for this Bronze Award-winning yacht interior was to create a unique and inviting space. Through a few collaborative meetings with the owner, we decided to incorporate arcs, soft lines, and smooth edges, ensuring the design not only stands out but also enhances functionality. Importantly, these design elements were chosen with the understanding that this is a sailing yacht, where soft lines and smooth edges contribute to safer and more comfortable navigation in high seas
FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
BD: The main idea was to create a yacht with soft lines, graceful arcs, and smooth edges, setting her apart from other motorsailers. This design approach ensures that she stands out as a truly unique and elegant vessel.
FS: What are your future plans for this award winning design?

The result was a game-changing interior that satisfied all parties and set a new standard for luxury motorsailers.

FS: What made you design this particular type of work?
BD: The main idea was to make a unique interior design and within a couple of meetings with the owner, the idea of using arcs, soft lines, curves and smoothened edges. And never foget that this is eventually a sailing yacht. Soft lines and smoothened edges will be helpful in high seas navigations.
FS: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?
