THE SHAPE Yacht traditionalists may want to avert their eyes – but for deep-pocketed owners looking to make a statement, The Shape (below) should be top of the shopping list. The flowing lines of this concept by Rome-based Lazzarini Design Studio are undoubtedly striking, but it is the absence of yacht that defines The Shape. The large hole in the superstructure, sweeping towards the bow, may sacrifice living space in the name of design, but The Shape can still accommodate six guests in suites across three decks. lazzarinidesignstudio.com
ONEIRIC Zaha Hadid Architects have designed everything from cutlery to concert halls, so it’s little wonder they’ve turned their creative vision to concept yachts. Sleeping up to 10 guests in five cabins, the Oneiric concept catamaran (opposite) was designed in partnership with Italian shipyard Rossinavi, and is focused on pioneering an era of sustainable sea travel. Three levels of seamlessly integrated solar panels allow for fully electric navigation. An AI-assisted control centre monitors energy usage, and advises on the most efficient route, heading and speed. In fact, the vessel has been designed to allow for up to 70% of an Atlantic crossing to be powered by solar energy. Aesthetically, the design is inspired by the fluidity of waves, with reflective exteriors intended to blur the boundaries between vessel and ocean. zaha-hadid.com | rossinavi.it

THE STORY OF AN AFRICAN ICON
With a long line of very successful ancestors, the new-generation TOYOTA LAND CRUISER PRADO had some big tyres to fill. We look at the approach its design team took to CONTINUE THE LEGACY.
THROUGH THE LENS
We asked one of VISI's favourite photographers, PARIS BRUMMER, to choose her four FAVOURITE CAMERAS. The brief? \"From the fun to the profesh!\"
YOUR GARDEN DAY CROWN
Gardens have the power to unite us - which is why the GARDEN DAY movement encourages plant enthusiasts to don a flower crown and CELEBRATE THEIR GREEN SPACES in unique ways.
RETRO-LICIOUS
Mid-century is not just making an interior design comeback: food is following right behind. So put on your vintage 1950s LUCIENNE DAY-PRINT APRON - or '70s HALSTON JUMPSUIT if you're feeling a little funkier - and get inspired by ABIGAIL DONNELLY's reimagining of classic dishes. Think moulded jellies, finger foods and soft-serve ice cream.
FERMENTATION
When you hear about FERMENTED FOODS, your mind probably goes to pickles and beer. But thanks to a growing interest in Asian staples such as kimchi and miso, we're becoming more used to these flavour profiles, and even seeing them in fine-dining restaurants. We asked ABIGAIL DONNELLY to share her favourite recipes for fermented flavour bombs that you can replicate in your OWN KITCHEN.
