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
