SILK ISSUE • n° 34 • 2023

Award-winning

Jozeph Forakis has unveiled the radical Pegasus, the first 3D-printed superyacht designed to be virtually invisible both in terms of design and environmental impact. Promising unparalleled sustainably, range and structural integrity, the 88m superyacht will have an astonishingly light and strong 3D-printed mesh framework integrating both hull and superstructure. The unique low, linear plumb bowed hull has a silvery metallic finish to blend with the colours and movement of the sea, and is topped by a superstructure with multi-tiered, ephemeral glass wings that reflect clouds and sky. The base of the four-level Tree of Life, the centrepiece of the interior, emerges from a reflecting pool on the lower deck and is surrounded by a hydroponic garden providing fresh food and air purification. Living greenery and uninterrupted views are a constant throughout the guest areas. The top level is the owner’s with a forward-facing suite with generous private terrace. The superstructure glass incorporates transparent solar panels that drive electrolyzers that extract H2 from seawater which is then converted to electricity by fuel cells and stored on lithium ion batteries to power operating and hotels systems as well as the pod drives. www.forakis.com
