We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: Thinking about the sea as a world in a continuous movement, we took the “wave” as a symbol of it. Starting from this idea we modelled the lines of the hull which seem to break themselves to bow.
: The project starts from the analysis of today typology catamarans design. In most cases we have pointed out that the exterior design is too much simple, almost skin-deep and without fluent line, unlike the luxurious and elegant interiors. For this reason we thought to give a different answer to the current naval market drawing a catamaran 24 metres long with a sporting, but at the same time elegant, design.
: Our expectations are to find new job opportunities, to establish collaborations with experts in the field. We would like to see this project built.
: We have worked on wave catamaran for about three months.
: We want to offer an innovative product to the market of catamarans, for this reason we decided to pursuite our idea.
: We are looking for people interested in developing the production process: engineers, naval shipyards, clients.
: We want to offer a new concept of catamaran both as exterior design and as a new way of living the cruise feeling immersed in the sea.
: No there aren't. This project is an idea that we developed by ourselves.
: The project is aimed to the lovers of the sea who want to live the cruise maintaining a direct relationship with it at the same time not renouncing to aspects such as comfort, entertainment, privacy, luxury, elegance.
: The main characteristics of “Wave Catamaran” are: 1. The concept of the living space that we wanted to draw in a sort of continuity between interiors and exteriors. Through the big glass windows we get an almost 360 degree view which allows a visual continuity with outside. Not only, through the large glass doors opened life inside is projected in the outdoor spaces giving a continuity in the use of the yacht. 2. The flowing, sinuous lines that propose both in the design of the hull (and superstructure) and in the design of the furnishings. 3. The bronze colour of the exterior hulls and superstructure designed to propose a new chromatic boat line. 4. The use of materials used in civil architecture: the interior walls are coated with white plaster properly treated. 5. The “green fall” inside the living room: some plants are grown in stacked pots by hydroculture and create a kind of vertical garden. 6. The choice of some items to ensure the fun: a movable foot-board hidden in the floor stretches out toward the sea creating a small beach (under the board there is the tender park) and the slide hidden in the transom.
: The name derives from the main idea of the project: the wave as a symbol of the sea’s movement.
: Rhinoceros, Vray for Rhinoceros, Adobe.
: The flowing exterior design.
: We worked in team: Roberta Visintin and Cristiana Foytik.
: Technology played an important role in designing both interiors spaces (spa, tv screen to disappear into the ceiling, green wall,...) and exterior ones (hull, glass stair,...).
: No, it isn’t.
: The main challenge was of begin without a structural design. The difficulty was designing a feasible hull that calls to mind the sinuous lines of the wave.
: We have decided to participate in the competition for professional growth, comparison with other designers, to find new job opportunities and advertise our activities.
: We deepened our culture in the area of naval design.
: We want to achieve the customer’s dreams. So our slogan is " YOUR BOAT AS YOU DREAM IT!"
