YACHTS & YACHTING
“ Multifunctional design was very important for the owner ,” continues Yukay . “ In fact , the open foredeck has three different uses : as a sunbathing area , a dining area for 12 people , and a screen can be set up to turn it into an open-air cinema .”
Unique interior design
Tanju Özelgin is a designer renowned for its ability to transmit meaning in design through subtle and abstract uses of form , symbol and material . He is widely recognised for his distinct style that is contemporary and abstract yet deeply aware of the fundamentals of human nature and environment .
