David Nelson of Foster + Partners
SuperyachtDESIGN Week was heralded as the best edition since its conception in 2013. The event featured engaging keynote presentations from design legends David Nelson of Foster + Partners and Johannes Torpe of Johannes Torpe Studios, innovative technology from Pavegen’s CEO Laurence Kemball-Cook and WarkaWater’s Arturo Vittori, a VriThink! session from Marnix Hoekstra, as well as insight into the design process of superyacht owner Bill Duker and his team at PHDesign.
An interactive workshop
A fundamental aspect of SYDW was the interactive workshops, hosted by a variety of Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour showrooms. Intimate ‘meet the designer’ sessions with superyacht luminaries Terence Disdale, John Munford, Martin Francis and Michael Leach were held alongside technical workshops showcasing 3D printing and the intricate world of biomimicry. Think tanks discussing legal issues, crew and the next generation of designers took place over the three days, as well as design debates looking at superyacht refit, ‘green’ design and material innovations.
The Designer Draw Off
The Designer Draw Off was a hugely popular addition to the programme this year, where Rob Doyle, Steve Gresham and Greg Marshall had just one hour to draw their interpretation of the event’s three themes: smart engineering, living architecture and planetary protection. These canvases were then donated to Sail4Cancer to be auctioned off at their next event.
Thank you to all those involved in this year’s event. Stay tuned for updates for SuperyachtDESIGN Week in 2016.
