The 100m Phoenicia Superyacht Design By Igor Lobanov

Designer Igor Lobanov has revealed his latest innovative design concept to Super Yacht Times. He stated that Phoenicia it is an explorative study, focusing purely on the design elements themselves. This concept amalgamates various historical influences with a new modern design.




above: original sketch for the Phoenicia

The model explores a 100+ meter superyacht with generous open deck space, particularly aft of the yacht including a helipad; a feature which is usually seen on large motor yachts rather than a sailing yacht.



Another key element of this model is an all surrounding open deck arranged as a gallery with a pattern design as a feature. One of the proposed patterns has a special Arabian influence.



Additionally Phoenicia has a very unconventional bow, which has a hint of ancient Greek influence. This design gives the feeling of 1000 years of history of an “ancient royal ship” with the appropriate name concept of "Phoenicia". Phoenicians are believed to be the people who influenced the Greek alphabet. From the Greeks it was then passed to Romans as Latin and to Slavs (and even Mongols) as Cyrillic. As a result a wide range of nations from Australia to Russia are now using letters that derive from those once created in the small area of Phoenicia.



Also known for trading across the whole of the Mediterranean, the Phoenicians influenced many nations and cultures that lived around sea. The Phoenicians are a link between East and West, between modern Muslim and Christian cultures. Hence, this name is symbolic and appropriate to the design of Phoenicia. This concept is an expression of how we should continue to explore different shores, different cultures and the various way of life.

H2ome Yacht Has A Sleek Profile, Modern Interiors & a $20 Million Asking Price.

The H2ome Yachting Villa is a 44 meter long luxurious yacht with a large open back three level deck. It's designed and furnished with stylish modern interior accomodations for guests and crew, a state of the art kitchen, stunning bathrooms, a living room and dining room divided by a 'plant wall' and teak flooring throughout.







The exterior of the sexy and sleek luxury yacht has teak wood decks contrasting with the yacht's glossy reflective finish.





The concept of H2OME was born during a long conversation between the owner of an Open 35m yacht and Mario Grasso, the owner of the Italian naval design studio Navirex. In addition to engineering, Mario Grasso, guided by the owner's taste, designed the hull and superstructure. As for the interior, it was a design collaboration between Genovese Studio A-LAB and actress/ interior designer Raffaella Berge.



The entrance is in the large main hall, designed as an open loft and includes the living area, dining room (70 sqm) and steering in one connected space. The plentiful windows create a continuum between the inside and the marine environment, filtering in the natural light. The decor inside is characterized by clean geometric lines and balances perfectly with the plant wall, the focal point of the living area. The teak flooring strips helps to create an exotic atmosphere.





In the sleeping area of the lower deck are the owner's suite and four guest cabins which total 100 square meters. Each room has a sophisticated lighting system, which runs along the ceilings, walls and furniture, creating striking effects of lightness and elegance.







The beautiful bathrooms have glass walled showers and modern fixtures :




Forward on the starboard side are the large kitchen and left the laundry room, both accessible from the crew accommodations.



The outside areas consist of a beach (15 m), a well of 50 square meters and a Sun Deck (60 sqm). And the latter is endowed with a square dining area, bar, and lots of sun exposure.






Thanks to twin 1,925hp Caterpillar diesel engines and one Vericor gas turbine the yacht can reach a top speed of 36 knots. H2ome cruises at 17 knots (with the gas turbine engine off).

A Trailer You'd NEVER call Trash! Tabbert's Paganini Caravan

In the last few years the Tabbert brand has undergone repositioning and has clearly rejuvenated its corporate image. With the luxe Paganini, their designers, developers, and product managers have created a new standard in the category. In the Paganini, Tabbert combines automotive design with innovative technology and quality to result in a trailer that's anything but trash. They refer to it as a "caravan" and so will I throughout the rest of this post.

The Exterior:


The flush F.AC.E window system that runs from the three-dimensionally overarched front of the caravan through to the rear, is unique to the Paganini.




A Silverline package features side walls in wood-free sandwich design, where an insulating core of XPS rigid foam plastic provides more static properties, strength, and stability at a relatively low weight.



One of the most important new constructions is the Tabbert premium roof. With a thickness of 6 cm this roof provides optimal thermal insulation and excellent noise protection when it rains.



The innovative air circulation in the Tabbert premium roof is of new design. Behind a double wall in the top cabinets (in both the front and in the rear areas) there are openings into the roof. The air in the interior is thus continuously exchanged, which guarantees a pleasant room climate and almost completely prevents heat accumulation.

The channels for the optional air-conditioning system also run in the roof. Through a special duct, cold air flows into the roof and then distributes into the air-conditioning channels and can uniformly exit at three positions in the ceiling panels. This technology allows completely draught-free cooling of the interior of the caravan.

The Interior:



Indirect lighting in the circumferential ceiling panels, inset LED spots, and reading lamps in the seat group and in the bedroom provide lighting not usually found in recreational vehicles.




The new light control system allows you to set individual lights that also can be dimmed.



And upon request the ceiling lamp above the seat group also is available with a backlit Tabbert emblem.



Luxurious details and materials are used throughout from the leathers to the wood veneers and stainless steel hardware.





The Kitchen:

Sophisticated functionality and first-class workmanship are also in the kitchen. The interior has a champagne-colored furniture decor and details such as a solid-surface worktop with chopping board and sink cover.

There is a three-burner Spinflo cooker with glass panel and a sufficiently large working area that is easy to clean.

The kitchen equipment is available with a powerful extractor hood and a 189 litre refrigerator (both optional).

The Bathroom:

A very special feature in the 655 DF is the spacious round shower with illuminated ceiling.

Mahogany real wood veneer and solid-surface materials also are found in the bath.



Practical stowage trays and a toilet with ceramic coating provide real 'at home' type comfort.
