Johnny started his career in yacht design with RWD 12 years ago. Following a very successful six years with the studio helping to launch several award winning yachts, including sailing yacht Twizzle and luxury superyacht Al Said, he left to embark upon new challenges in London. There, he was charged with setting up the yacht design department of the luxury residential designers Candy and Candy; following the completion of the designs for a highly successful 61m motor yacht Sealyon (Candyscape II), Johnny moved to work as a senior designer at a leading yacht design firm Terence Disdale Design.

His considerable knowledge and experience in high-level luxury design, from furniture to private aircraft, as well as in depth knowledge of the design for some of the largest yacht launches of recent times, will enable Johnny to build on the new and exciting projects that RWD currently have on their drawing boards.

Johnny will be engaged with the rest of the team in providing the highest level of design experience for RWD’s clients.

“I always hoped the right circumstances would give me the opportunity to work with Justin, Tony, and Toby again. They have headed a hugely talented world leading design team for over 20 years and on top of that they are three of the nicest, most honest people you are likely to meet, let alone work with. It is a huge privilege to re-join the company which continues to provide such quality design work to its worldwide client base.” - Johnny

May 02, 2013

The 2013 Future Interior Design Challenge by AkzoNobel‘s Awlgrip is now open for submissions for entry. The design challenge is an innovative competition aimed at the new and aspiring luxury superyacht interior designers.

Awlgrip Future Interior Design Challenge 2013

As with the inaugural competition in 2012, Awlgrip is again challenging interior designers to show how innovative design can utilise new materials to produce interiors that can be more stylish, increasingly ergonomic and easier to build than ever before. This year, due to increasing demand and interest the competition has been opened to a wider audience.

The Competition
For 2013, the competition is not only for 2nd and 3rd year design students and those who have graduated in the past 12 months, it is now also open to those who have recently started in Interior Design positions (within the past 24 months).

As in 2012, the winning designer will receive a £5,000 cash prize as well as the chance to have the winning design shown at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show and the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show during what is a special time for Awlgrip, celebrating the 40th anniversary year.

Maja Vujec - Winning design from the 2012 challenge

The Challenge
The challenge again is to produce a design that the judges will conclude is the best looking, most ergonomic, easiest to build and features the most innovative use of the new Awlgrip products. This can be as straightforward as a storage or vanity unit, something more technically challenging such as a crew workspace, or even a solution for where the aesthetic ideal meets engineering constraints such as a bridge console.

How to Enter
For any last minute entries that wish to declare themselves can do so by emailing AwlgripChallenge@akzonobel.com. Following a declaration of interest, entrants will receive a briefing that will outline the Challenge in detail, provide guidance on the judging criteria and information on materials and resources available to the entrants.

Now ready for delivery to the billionaire owner, motor yacht J’Ade has been designed to feel at one with the sea, featuring special full height windows providing exceptionally wide panoramic views. This is combined with a beach club, a stern hatch that turns into a large platform by the water, and the highly innovative ‘flooded garage’, where the owner can store and easily access the 8 metre Riva Iseo Yacht without the need for a tender lift.

Lamberto Tacoli, CRN Shipyard Chairman and CEO, commented on the launch: We pride ourselves on the craftsmanship carried out by our skilled workers as they make it possible for us to reach every milestone.

WallyCento HAMILTON yacht wins IY&A award

April 22, 2013

The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2013 saw the beautiful WallyCento 100 HAMILTON yacht win the ‘Sailing Yacht 25-40m category. The uniqueness of the IY&A Awards, organised by the leading design magazine design et al, lies in the fact that the winners are selected by members of the public via online voting, rather than by more usual panel of judges. The awards ceremony was held last Friday at the Connaught Hotel in London.

Luxury sailing yacht Hamilton features interior and exterior styling by Design Unlimited. The first of the new WallyCento class, she is designed to combine both comfortable cruising and fast, exciting racing. With that in mind the interior had to be designed and engineered to hit challenging weight targets yet show minimal compromise when it came to amenities and accommodation.

The result is a bright, airy interior using natural tones offset by splashes of colour set alongside carbon fibre elements for dramatic effect.

“We’re delighted that Hamilton has been voted the best new sailing yacht (25-40m) of the past twelve months,” said Design Unlimited’s Mark Tucker. “We, along with the other partners involved in her design and built, put in a great deal of time and effort to produce a yacht that would fulfil the expectations of her owner, using the latest materials and technology. We were very pleased with the result, and it’s wonderful to see that the wider public feel the same way.”

New Baltic 108 Yacht WINWIN with interior design by Design Unlimited

April 12, 2013

Design Unlimited has unveiled initial details of the interior design as well as specification for the Baltic 108 sailing yacht WinWin. The beautiful WinWin yacht is a 108ft (33m) composite sailboat, scheduled for completion at Baltic Yachts in early 2014.

Baltic 108 sailing yacht WinWin with interior design by Design Unlimited

With naval architecture by Javier Jaudenes, superyacht WinWin is a high performance cruiser / racer intended to excel at both. The owner of WinWin is an experienced long distance sailor who knows exactly what he wants from the yacht. Notable features include a lifting keel and a retracting glass bulkhead between the deck saloon and cockpit which allows seamless integration between both spaces. Performance is also a key priority, with Mark Tucker and his team at Design Unlimited tasked with keeping overall weight to a minimum.

As the leading interior design studio for yachts of this type, with the WallyCento sailing yacht Hamilton and the refit of the 30.5m charter yacht Leopard 3 two notable projects with a similar brief completed in 2012, Design Unlimited understood the need for an interior that was essentially minimalist yet still with all the comforts required for family cruising.

In response to the owners’ wishes the forward section is mostly taken up by an exceptionally generous master suite comprised of a large, full width cabin with en-suite shower room, and a study and owners’ lounge stretching down the port side complete with desk, three sided settee and ample storage. Facing that across the centreline is a Pullman cabin for the owners to use when passage-making, demonstrating that this yacht is intended for serious sailing.

The deck saloon of WinWin yacht is a well-proportioned seating and entertaining area with plenty of light, not least as a result of the retracting glass bulkhead that leads out to the cockpit to create a single, dramatic, unified space. Other features of the saloon include a daybed aft on the starboard side and side windows that can be opened.

The aft section of the Baltic 108 superyacht WinWin includes two twin guest cabins each with en-suite, plus a fully-equipped galley, crew mess with navigation station, and two Pullman cabins providing high-quality accommodation for up to four crew.

In keeping with the brief for a light, minimalist finish, the interior uses washed and limed oak veneers for the floors and interior joinery, while lacquered overheads aid in reflecting light throughout. Concealed light panels help maintain the atmosphere of clean simplicity.

Loro Piana, the Italian fabric house long associated with the world of sailing, supplied the fabrics used in the interior, while the linings came from Majilite. The leather upholstery and headboards were supplied by Edelman, and the fittings are by Dornbracht, Hansgrohe and Turnstyle.

“WinWin is an uncompromising cruiser/racer designed for owners who intend to spend many hours on board,” said Design Unlimited’s Mark Tucker. “It has been a pleasure to work with owners who have a clear vision of what they wish to achieve and we believe the result is a yacht that is perfect for extended, long-distance cruising as well as exciting racing. We look forward to seeing her afloat.”

Nauta Yachts on the largest mega yacht in the world: the 180m AZZAM YACHT

April 10, 2013

Nauta Yachts has issued a press release talking about the recently launched 180m AZZAM yacht – the largest superyacht in the world. Mega Yacht Azzam boasts exterior design by Nauta Yachts and was constructed by the prestigious German shipyard Lurssen. Her interior was created by Christophe Leoni.

180m Azzam superyacht designed by Nauta Yachts

“Seven years ago we began to navigate in the wide ocean of superyacht design. We were lucky to start with a commission for an 80 metre motor yacht with moderate volumes and above all the possibility to open large glass surfaces on the superstructure of each deck. We called this project Light with the double meaning of brightness and lightness. When we were then called in to participate in the design and exterior styling of AZZAM we immediately realised that this project would be one of the most demanding of our careers. The brief was strict and challenging in terms of dimensions, performance and technology. At the same time we were pleased to note that the Client’s brief was not calling for large volumes in relation to the overall length. This would give us the possibility to express our vision of balance between airiness and light on a larger scale. Our lines could stay neat and essential, one of the hallmarks of Nauta Yachts, without overflow, redundancy and massive volumes.”

“The yacht was to be able to navigate at speeds in excess of 30 knots, powered by a combination of two gas turbines and two diesel engines with a total 94,000 horse power. The highest technology to obtain the highest performance possible for a 180m hull would require, from our point of view, a rational, modern architecture composed by straight lines and balanced and proportioned volumes, outlining her advanced contents and stunning performance.”

“Ever since the first sketches, we could sense that we were on the right track. The design had strength of character and sense of purpose, yet also had timeless elegance, even while incorporating elements of visionary contemporary modern design.”

Nauta CEO Mario Pedol states: “When I saw the scale model before the general presentation to the Principal, I was 100% happy with the outcome. So was the Principal. Such recognition made me confident that we had achieved our goal.”

The Client representative assembled a world-class team, composed by Lürssen engineers, technical project managers from Burgess, the interior designer Christophe Leoni, and by ourselves here at Nauta Yachts.

AZZAM breaks new ground in terms of dimensions, performance and technology. In addition to being the largest yacht in the world with a length of 180 meters and in addition to her staggering top speed of over 30 knots, she shatters records in terms of building time: after a year of engineering, she was constructed in just three years, another milestone in yachting history.

According to Burgess CEO Jonathan Beckett the construction of this yacht – with its highly complex technical features – has been extremely demanding and challenging. “It has been a real team effort – he says – between all the professionals involved, including ourselves, the builder and the designers, and we are proud to be associated with this extraordinary and unique project as Owner’s technical consultants.”

The renowned French designer Christophe Leoni has been able to realize a sophisticated and luxurious interior in Empire style. “Though yachting is not my main area of business – he comments – I thoroughly enjoyed the cooperation with Nauta and Lürssen and I am confident that the final yacht is everything and more that the Owner expects.”

While waiting for mega yacht Azzam’s final delivery, we can state that all our efforts were concentrated to achieve a design defined by a strong character, but dressed by a timeless elegance. We believe Azzam will be able to represent a milestone in the superyacht fleet for decades.
