Superyot that looks like a smart city apartment - from the OUTSIDE as well

true, however the designer Starck isn't (and he's done some excellent stuff over the years, have to admit this isn't one of them...)
a couple of threads when it was launched and some "interesting" comments then :D

cheers

Didn't Starck also design those super yachts that look like giant mice? He should definitely stick to chairs and wash basins IMO.

... and lemon squeezers, buildings, skyscrapers and a few other things :D
yes seems that boats are not his thing...

True. There is a Starck story when he was designing the Aprilia Moto 6.5 motorbike...he asked if he could leave a part out as it didn't fit in with his design....it was the gearbox.

Nope, that was iirc Sir Norman Foster. Starck designed m/y A. I think A and Venus are both beautiful looking boats

I have that Starck lemon squeezer, a kind gift from EME and Targa50 of this forum, and it works as well as it looks :p

Yep, that's the one, although JFM has correctly pointed out that it was a Norman Foster design, not Philipe Starck. In my defence I don't think either of them design products for Homebase, so i'm not that familiar with their work :D

Back to M/Y Venus, is it just me or is the central tower/mast made of Lego?

Eyes of beholder, etc, but for the man who changed the world three times in a single decade with supremely well and beautifully designed products (mp3, smartphone, tablet), this yacht seems a big let down to his legacy. Slab sided ugly to these eyes anyway. His naval architect clearly wasn't part of apples design team.

Acshully, it was a Brit called Jonathon Ive who designed the Apple products.
