Ethimo Costiera

Ethimo and Christophe Pillet have collaborated on a new line of outdoor furniture for living on the sea. The yacht collection is an exercise in tailoring that harmoniously combines aesthetics and function: fabrics, generous proportions and high-quality technical materials come together in comfortable shapes. Costiera and Baia, whose names evoke seascapes and describe the world of sailing in an ideal union of contemporary design and performance, come in two seating versions. The former features voluminous cushions and seats constructed with technical padding that defines the structure. Baia meanwhile boasts soft cushions resting on a base bordered by a system of fabricupholstered panels. The leitmotiv for the entire collection is a single mood enhanced by the selection of materials and finishes from the world of yachting, as well as a range of fabrics that hark back to the true heritage of all things nautical, reworked in a contemporary key. The modularity of the lounge and sundeck elements also enables the creation of customised settings. Together, Costiera and Baia comprise more than 20 pieces that, when mixed-and-matched, can be used to furnish spaces of different types, sizes and shapes. All the upholstery has properties and characteristics that ensure their performance in any outdoor context over time. The padding for example is water-repellent and sealed with a special technique, which means water runs off and is prevented from penetrating them, while the cushions and armrests have easy-to-remove loose covers and the leather is eco-friendly and specific for outdoor use. The base and structure for the Costiera and Baia seats and coffee tables come in shades of silver or carbon powder-coated aluminium, which can be paired with both accoya or natural teak, thus creating four different combinations. For a minimal look, the structure can be produced entirely in silver or carbon aluminium. www.ethimo.com

Global lighting manufacturer Preciosa has launched a maritime version of its signature design, Inspiral. Conceived specially for yachts, Inspiral features crystal-cut prisms that capture light and reflect it in the colours of the rainbow. To make a maritime version that meets all safety requirements, Preciosa designers adapted the design by using metal tubes for stability.

The flexibility from this design is broad; go bold or choose a more minimalistic design. We’re here to support, advise and bring your custom maritime lighting to life.” www.preciosalighting.com/maritime

CASE STUDY

Dernier & Hamlyn Come Together

When Winch Design was tasked with creating bespoke interiors for the first hull of the new Amels 60 range named Come Together, the design studio enlisted lighting manufacturer Dernier & Hamlyn to create artisan-crafted bespoke lighting for the interiors that would complement the exterior spaces with geometric references.

Winch’s team brought these angles inside and softened the shapes by combining them with organically inspired forms, resulting in an interior that feels beachy and relaxed with a warm colour palette and subtle masculine edge.

Dernier & Hamlyn interpreted this theme in different ways across the various interior spaces, harmonising with the unique details that run through Winch’s work. The dining room for instance features lighting with incorporated controls to create the perfect ambience for any occasion. The four fittings in various sizes – from 1000mm to 500mm across – are softened pentagons and hexagons. Produced in Dernier & Hamlyn’s factory to Winch’s exacting specification, the frames were made using laser-cut brass with wooden structures crafted from marine plywood, steamed to shape and stained to a custom shade created by Winch. They were then fitted by hand with stretched goat skin vellum dyed to another of Winch’s custom colours.

In the saloon meanwhile, four circular silk shades inspired by anemone shells are fitted with bronze trims and fixed to frames handmade by Dernier & Hamlyn. And in the master suite, the wall lights have been crafted from solid brass fitted with handmade silk shades.

“Having worked with Dernier & Hamlyn previously, we knew we could call on them to design and manufacture bespoke lighting that would play a positive role in creating the interiors our client wanted,” says Jim Dixon, Winch Design’s Managing Partner and Creative Director for Yachts & Aviation. “In common with all aspects of the interiors, the lighting has, for the most part, been crafted from pure and natural materials to emphasise a relaxed ‘home at the beach’ spirit.” www.dernier-hamlyn.com

Duravit Martian House

Building a Martian House is a public art project led by by Ella Good and Nicki Kent in collaboration with Hugh Broughton Architects and Pearce+, which aims to create a genuine prototype of a Martian house. Having already developed a toilet that functions on the moon – which won an award from NASA – Duravit’s Head of Research & Development, Franziska Wülker, was tasked with tackling a Martian toilet. A symbiosis of toilet and bidet, Duravit’s SensoWash model offered the ideal solution, reducing the consumption of toilet paper by using pure water for cleaning. Significantly gentler and more sustainable than toilet paper, water removes bacteria, boosts circulation and is softer on the skin. www.duravit.com
