A Classic Mediterranean Cruiser Reimagined

July 20, 2012

An Antwerp-based design team reimagines the classic Mediterranean yacht, combining midcentury romance with contemporary minimalism.

A collaboration between the design duo at Studio Job and nautical architect Willem Nieland, the Firmship 42 features a sleek hull that, though streamlined, is distinctly reminiscent of Mediterranean cruisers. Inside and on deck, Studio Job conceived of a similarly pared-down scheme that, though decidedly nautical, is never cliché. Proof the luxury doesn’t mean ostentatious, Firmship’s design is so precise in terms of both function and aesthetics that it’s utterly timeless.

Photographs by Robert Kot and David Cordner.
