🛸 A DESIGN UNLINE ANY OTHER:

NAUSICAÄ's both exterior and interior design come from Marc Newson, the legendary Australian industrial designer born in Sydney in 1963. Newson's portfolio is staggering: he designed the Apple Watch, the iconic Lockheed Lounge chair (which sold for £1.1 million at auction), airplane interiors for Qantas Airways and products for Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Nike, Ferrari,and Montblanc.

In the yachting world, Newson previously designed the iconic Aquariva by Marc Newson speedboat (2010) for Italian brand Riva, a limited edition of 22 units. More significantly, he designed the 139.7-metre “SOLARIS” (delivered in 2021), one of the world's largest superyachts (which you can check also check out on my database!)

"Working with an extremely creative client has given us the rare opportunity to push the boundaries" Newson said. "Everything from the smallest detail to the silhouette—outside, inside and everything in between—is our design. We were therefore able to utilize and explore all creative possibilities without restraint."

The result is a yacht that looks more like a spacecraft than a traditional vessel - smooth geometric lines, organic shapes and an absence of sharp edges that characterize Newson's signature style.

One of “NAUSICAÄ” 's most striking features is a glass-domed private study connected to an outdoor terrace on the upper deck. To achieve this, Lürssen developed custom glass-bending techniques for large sections of thick glass while preserving optical clarity for 360-degree panoramic views.

”NAUSICAÄ” also carries an Ice Class 1D rating, allowing her to safely navigate light ice conditions, opening up destinations from tropical waters to polar extremes. CEO Peter Lürssen noted this enables the yacht to explore "all five major oceans, and all seven continents". (+)
