The Vertigo 220' Superyacht Has A Sophisticated Interior Designed by Christian Liaigre.

A 220 foot sailing yacht from Alloy Yachts, the AY41 Vertigo Superyacht was designed by Naval Architect Philippe Briand with sophisticated and luxurious interior decor by Christian Liaigre. Built in New Zealand, the client requested an "urban feel' for the interior and Liaigre gave them that in spades. With custom designed furnishings, glossy woods, stainless steel kitchen appliances, chromed fixtures, modern lighting, sumptuous leather accents, tinted walnut and black sandblasted wood floorboards and the latest in technology, the yacht feels more like a Manhattan penthouse than say, a Manhattan penthouse.


above: At 67.2 meters (220 feet) long, the Vertigo is the largest largest luxury sailing yacht built in the Southern Hemisphere (so far).

I'll let the photos do the talking.

Eye-Catching Design for Kirk Originals London Flagship Optical Store.

Optical retailer Kirk Originals has just opened their new London flagship store. Located on Conduit street and designed by Campaign Design, the store design has both great curb appeal with it's eye-catching window display and is inviting and witty on the interior.









Reflecting on the brand’s heritage and principles, the designers created an installation of lenticular printed eye sculptural heads, each carrying a unique frame, ‘winking’ playfully at customers and passers-by. Meanwhile, the monochromatic blue-grey palette on the background makes the display pop.





The centrally located store stocks all Kirk's ranges, but also selected lines by independent eyewear brands exclusive to Kirk Originals in the UK.
