Volcanic Retreat

At Sky Lagoon, it takes more than just a dip in the geothermal waters to revitalize the body. It’ s a whole ritual the Icelanders have been following for centuries.

Where the sea meets the sky, the Sky Lagoon ends — the new luxury spa with the artificial lagoon at Karsnes harbor in southeastern Iceland. Built from volcanic rock as local architectural tradition dictates, it appears to teeter on the verge of a high cliff, giving the impression that you are at the edge of the world while being just a few kilometers from Reykjavik.

at sky Lagoon, the entire experience is centered on the centuries-old culture the Icelanders have developed in order to rejuvenate their energy, both body and spirit, by harnessing geothermal energy. And it’s not just about a dip in the hot springs. This is a revered ritual. The traveler will first relax in the warm mineral-rich water (38°C) of the infinity pool (70 meters long and 1.20 meters deep), breathing in the clean air from the Atlantic. After diving into the icy water for the necessary shock to the body, he or she will then move to the sauna, in a space with a gigantic glass opening, for a breathtaking view of the ocean. next, he WiLL slowly walk through the corridor with the cold mist, ending up at the skin exfoliation treatment that will prepare him for the hammam. The ritual will end with a good shower that will wash away all worries, as the locals say. But the journey doesn’t stop here. The experience concludes at the restaurant or café by tasting marinated herring or salmon slices on rye bread and local award-winning beers at the Gelmir bar, located in a cave by the edge of the pool.

Otherworldly landscape outside and award-winning architecture inside the Sky Lagoon, which respects local tradition at all levels.

Submerged Artifacts

Sculptures undertake to raise public awareness about coral survival in a fascinating underwater museum.

the intrepid traveler who has chosen to explore the Great Barrier Reef in north Queensland will don a mask and fins or a diving suit, dive into the ocean to a depth of 17 meters and swim into Australia’s first Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA). Inside an 165-ton biomorphic steel structure, more than 20 sculptures made of purpose-built concrete featuring coral gardeners await. This is the imposing Coral Greenhouse, inspired by the British Jason de Caires Taylor, which has entered the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s largest underwater cyclone-resistant Class 4 structure. The eco artist has imagined colonies of mussels, corals or sponges on his sculptures, which will turn

the art into a living testimony to the need to save underwater life. with the same philosophy, he designed and anchored the Ocean Sentinels, the guardians of the ocean, in another part of the seabed. Eight hybrid statues dedicated to Australian scientists who have worked to protect reef life. The one non-submersible sculpture took the form of a young Aboriginal girl from the Wulgurukaba tribe, and appears to be standing on the water overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Powered by solar energy, the Ocean Siren changes color depending on the water temperature to warn experts of warming seas.

Helmut Newton Legacy

He revolutionized fashion photography in the 20th century with his sensual style, presenting provocative images that remain a benchmark today, challenging the establishment.

In hIs lIfe, the German-Jewish visionary, or King of Kink, did not hesitate in the face of anything, considering that the greatest challenge was the one he had set for himself. Helmut Newton apprenticed at 16 next to the famous photographer Yva. He left Nazi Berlin to temporarily immigrate to Australia. Upon returning to Europe, from the 60s until the 90s he would challenge the biggest international magazines -Elle, Vogue, Queen and later Esquire, Interview, Vanity Fair- with his provocative view on fashion photography. He would dare night shots, street photography, black and white film, or Polaroid. Big brands -Courreges, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, and Mugler- will trust him despite

his excesses, like when he photographed at a cheap hotel for sex workers, because that’s how he had imagined the shot. In the 80s he would undress his models to give nude photography his own sensual dimension, challenging the feminists of the time with the Big Nudes. He would ignore the comments that judged him as a misogynist, because he knew he loved women. With his famous portraits he would not just capture the features of the face, but comprehend the personality of the model. More than 100 years after his birth, Helmut Newton’s legacy is unsurpassed photographs, which do not belong in any category because they are a category in themselves: elegant, subversive, sassy.

Views of Time in Color

Camera clicks not only involve inspiration but also advances in technology.

On the OccasiOn of the landmark exhibition “Seeing Time in Color” at the Centre Pompidou-Metz, curator Sam Stourdzé, director of Villa Médicis, identified three fundamental challenges for the evolution of photography: image reproduction, encapsulating time, and fixing color. Archival photographic plates from the restoration of Italian Renaissance masterpieces, recreated especially for the exhibition, rare seascapes by Gustave Le Gray, previously unpublished autochrome plates from Albert Kahn’s collection, NASA’s first photographs from space, and more, record technological finds we now take for granted.

hOwever, from the early 20th century and the sculptor Constantin Brancusi who reproduced his works photographically in order to interpret them, to Harold Edgerton, the MIT engineering professor who fixed time with the stroboscopic flash in the 1950s, to Saul Leiter and Helen Levitt who in the 1970s pioneered the importance of color, photography manages to reinvent itself according to the technology of the time. Which justifies the concern of visual artist Constance Nouvel, who wonders: “Actually, what will happen to art when painting begins to depict photographs?”

HIDDEN DEPTHS

“Cave diving requires teamwork and respect for others, especially when the conditions become unpredictable”, points out Giorgos Vandoros, with almost 30 years of experience.

The UnderWonder series features cave divers filming and being filmed as they dive into the unknown, bringing an incredible sight from Greece’s underwater tunnels to your screens.

PHOTOGRAPHS: CAROLINE NEGRIN

seriously, how many of us are aware that the idyllic Lake of Vouliagmeni hides a secret? The underwater cave boasts the largest room in Europe and ranks among the largest globally. Cave divers plunged into its 800-meter-long dark tunnel on behalf of the UnderWonder series, making a discovery that was brought to us on the screens. Venturing deeper than the previous expedition’s 125-meter dive in, they discovered an opening in the cave ceiling that led to a vertical natural well, filled with unique stalactites. This is the beginning and end of the 4-episode Cosmote TV series, which takes us on a tour to the equal number of underwater caverns in Greece. In addition to Lake Vouliagmeni, the series

i.e., at a depth of 40 meters, notes Giorgos Vandoros. From that point on, darkness and the unknown reign supreme. In this hostile environment for humans, cave divers test limits and endurance that require not just carefully checked special equipment but also patience, composure, and passion.

in the second episode, the team dives into Amphitrite Cave in Paros in order to take samples for research on the morphology of the Cyclades in ancient times, before the sea levels rose. In the popular and enchanting cave of Diros, to which the third episode is dedicated, two special permits were needed to allow the submersibles. The cave divers’ limited time may have

travels to Amphitrite in Paros, Diros in the Peloponnese, and the Elephant Cave in Crete.

the underwater camera followed a group of cave divers led by the experienced instructor Giorgos Vandoros to make unique images accessible to everyone, under the direction of filmmaker Kostas Karydas. The hybrid of terrestrial and underwater shots, as described by the director, took three years to accomplish, and was produced by Andreas Kouris, an avid cave diver himself. The underwater shots are signed by cave diver and cinematographer Carolin Negrin, the only woman in the group. Doctor of Geology and Speleology Vassilis Giannopoulos contributed to the enrichment of each episode with 3D maps and animations illustrating the location, form, and conditions that prevailed in the caves each era. And the adventure will begin on land with research, recording of information, and detailed organization, as in the underwater caves there is life as far as the light can see,

made things difficult, but it did not prevent them from going to unspoiled places, filming footage that is being released for the first time. A mystical experience, according to Kostas Karydas, who likens the white room with the chandeliers formed by the stalactites to a Tim Burton set. In the fourth episode, they would reveal to us the Cave of the Elephants in Chania, where elephant bones have been found, certifying that they once lived in Crete. when the adventure is over, Kostas Karydas, who does not dive, will mention that he is starting to think about cave diving courses, which do not require special qualifications but entail organization, team spirit and meticulousness. In fact, Carolin Negrin will add another item to the list, stating that “you need to have a good relationship with yourself to withstand the quiet and solitude during decompression”.

The UnderWonder concluded with a discovery: a vertical natural well containing unprecedented stalactites in the underwater cave Lake Vouliagmeni.

The tranquil atmosphere at Belmond Savute Safari Lodge is disturbed only when the elephants take their bath under the terrace.
Elephants cool off at night in one of the waterholes, forming a picture postcard for guests on the eye-level viewing hide of Belmond Savute.
Amidst beautiful, expansive scenery, dine on delectable brunches, enjoy freshly brewed coffee or sip sundowners with our expert guides.

in the bayei people language, the word Savute means mysterious, unpredictable, and perfectly captures the story of the Savute River at the heart of Chobe National Park, Botswana’s first protected national park, inaugurated in 1968. A tributary of the great Chobe, the Savute would disappear during periods of drought, only to reappear during the rainy season. In fact, it had dried up completely for years, until 2015, when it was filled with water again, bringing the nature around it to life. A breathtakingly contrasting environment, with waters, steep cliffs, low bushes, arid grasslands, or trees, it is now home to 120,000 elephants, the most in all of Africa, but also to the other members of the Big Game: lions, leopards, rhinos and buffalo. Belmond Savute Safari Lodge, located near the Savute River in the most welcoming area of the savannah, is a luxury camp for 24 travelers who wish to experience adventure without the unexpected, whether out and about on safari or simply

observing wildlife and unusual birds from their tent. refurbished by muza lab, an architectural studio, the lodge combines modern conveniences with eco-conscious furnishings and a colonial design. The 12 tents, which have large wooden verandas and an African-style roof, are set on an elevated wooden platform and are 95% solar air-conditioned. The architect created the spaces with natural materials and indigenous skills. In the bedroom, an extra-large bed with the necessary mosquito net, in the living room, rattan and light wood handmade furniture, and decorative elements made by locals. Richly textured fabrics with geometric designs, and an earthy color palette, which is lighted by the handmade chandeliers in blue and ivory. Besides the tents, Belmond Savute has a spa, library, bar, lounge area, swimming pool and a wooden deck above the elephants’ favorite haunt. Plus the watering hole where they always stop to drink water, take a bath or just play, especially after the rainy season

which is also the best time for safari. A unique sight that the traveler can enjoy safely, without disturbing the animals. If he is lucky, he will see cheetahs or buffaloes passing further down, and red-billed queleas crossing the sky, since Chobe National Park is a birdwatcher’s paradise. Some 450 species of birds populate the area. if, on the other hand, travelers are in the mood to explore the site Robert Livingston passed through in 1851 to reach Victoria Falls, they can take an early morning or late afternoon 4x4 safari. Those in the know say the best time is when the sun is setting and the savannah is filled with sounds and voices as the animals finish their siesta. Lions, tigers, hyenas, African giraffes, and in migration season herds of antelope and zebras or swarms of carmine bee-eaters that sometimes travel on the backs of elephants. On the designated hiking trails of the remote setting the guide will tell you stories about the ancient San Rock Bushmen paintings on the rocks

of the Gubatsa hills. Primitive 1,500-year-old images depicting antelope, elephants, giraffes, found in the open wilderness almost intact. A fact that inspired the local legend that the artists were painting with a mixture of snake venom, blood and plant juices. Next is the grove of baobabs, the peculiar trees with the huge trunks and sparse branches resembling inverted roots. A cluster of 13 ancient baobabs are transformed by sunset light into a surreal, huge bouquet.

at belmond savute safari lodge the experience will end in the evening with the Boma, the traditional feast where locals eat, drink, sing and tell tales while forming a circle around the campfire. Alternatively, if they so choose, one can gaze at the “jewel box”. That’s what the huge, starry African sky is called in Botswana. With the help of a high-end telescope, one can admire galaxies and stars only visible in the southern hemisphere, starting with the Southern Cross.

FJORD FEAST

At the new Iris, chef Anika Madsen is searching for new sustainable ingredients, experimenting with Norwegian flavors and serving high-end dishes, already earning a Michelin star.

What’s it like to sample a crafty menu sitting inside an art installation floating in the world’s third largest fjord? “It’s like going to the moon. I’ve never experienced anything like it”, opera singer Mari Eriksmoen will declare, and her video on Tik Tok will get 8.7 million views. It is Iris, the new revelation of food critics and gourmet travelers, a rather unusual restaurant. To visit it, one has to go from the city of Bergen to the town of Rosendal in western Norway, and then travel by electric boat on the lake wearing a windbreaker and raincoat. On arrival, you will climb aboard the Salmon Eye which floats on the Hardanger fjord, despite its 1,200 tons and 9,000 metal plates on its surface. The scenic art installation was made possible thanks to Eide Fjordbruk, the Norwegian sustainable salmon production company, and marks both the local market’s stance and chef Anika Madsen’s desire to seek out only fresh ingredients from local farmers or fishermen, using them in imaginative ways. The chef, awarded in Denmark for her technique in the preparation of seafood and vegetables, starts the evening with an informative video on

sustainable seafood production techniques so as to raise awareness. And the audience is just 24 people, because only so many can take part each evening in the five-hour culinary ritual which includes 18 dishes and incredible views of the mountains and sea.

With the motto “nature in the windows and nature on the plates”, Anika has tasty surprises in store, explaining to fellow diners at each change of dish her experimentation with each new ingredient she discovers. Cuttlefish tagliatelle with seaweed, celeriac and strawberry butter sauce or grilled salmon with cream made from seaweed, mushroom roots sprinkled with insect protein, a dish she has not accidentally dubbed “Feeding the future”. “At Iris, we tell stories about flavors, aromas and ingredients”, the chef notes. And it seems that her stories appeal both to the experts -for she has already earned a Michelin star even though the restaurant opened its doors in 2023- and to the world, as confirmed by seat reservations that have already been booked for the next three months.

With a diameter of 25 meters and a surface area of 1,000 square meters, the world’s largest floating art installation, Salmon Eye, wants to inspire seafood producers to develop sustainable techniques.

A Premium Choise

An exciting newly designed 350hp V6 joins the Yamaha Outboard family to meet customer demand for horsepower diversity, premium performance, and reliability.

Two key Trends have shaped Yamaha’s priorities for their engine and boating systems innovations. The first is the increasing awareness of boat builders that outboards represent a genuinely customer-centric and versatile choice for powering larger vessels. The second is the progressive sophistication of boat owners, who are demanding more choice, better technology, and more extensive systems integration for their craft.

inTroducing The 350hp v6 The exciting 350hp V6 is a valuable addition to the V6 line-up

of 225hp, 250hp and 300hp V6 engines, bridging the power gap between V6 and V8 (XTO 400hp V8 & XTO 450hp V8). Customers will love the higher power from a V6 and the increased torque at lower speeds, allowing for a more responsive, exhilarating experience when piloting the boat. The new 350hp V6 has been designed with a larger intake and exhaust valves than the 300hp V6 and uses the same diameter electronic throttle valve as the XTO 450hp V8 to maximize air movement. Better air flow equals

more power as the engine’s precisely mapped fuel and ignition timing match operator throttle demand for responsive performance while a new, robust crankshaft offers a longer stroke, enabling more torque at lower speeds. The new 350hp V6 expertly manages air displacement using tailored intake manifolds equipped with 40% larger surge tanks to maximize the amount and timing of air rushing to the intake ports. The improved camshaft profile establishes higher valve lift for longer opening duration for both in-

take and exhaust while the newly designed valve lifters -made from the same durable material used for XTO 450hp lifters- create precise valve clearance to achieve boosted combustion. To capitalize on the increased airflow, a new, robustly designed crankshaft creates a longer stroke for more torque throughout all RPM ranges.

Yamaha 350hp V6 delivers the must-have trifecta of responsive handling, rapid acceleration and ultimate reliability.

REMOTE SANCTUARIES

In the middle of the desert, the imposing Folly Mojave Suites makes it easy for travelers to get in touch with the stunning natural environment, but also with themselves. As long as this is their intention.

The word folly also means madness and it fits perfectly with Malek Alqadi’s venture in the off-grid heart of the Mojave Desert. The Jordanian architect has designed an eco-conscious resort in the most otherworldly part of California, for travelers who, when they talk about seclusion, they mean it. Folly Mojave Suites projects like an ancient temple in a lunar landscape, positively predisposing anyone who consciously decides to find themselves away from the distractions of the city. Architecture, nature, and the off-the-grid desert form an atmosphere of sanctuary for veterans and novices alike.

while designing The resorT, Alqadi was influenced by the wondrous archaeological site near Petra that he explored as a child, but also by the technological challenges of the project.

In the spectacular Folly Mojave, the traveler is isolated in the otherworldly environment of the California desert and lacks nothing of urban civilization.

“The idea was to bridge the gap between ancient architecture and modern technological reality”, he notes, while at the same time wanting to include in Folly Mojave Suites everything the modern traveler needs. To that end, he and his team traveled from Los Angeles, where they live and work, to the Mojave Desert until they found the right location. Once they did, they camped there for a long time in order to complete in the middle of nowhere a resort that comes straight out of a future setting.

wiTh simple low-key architecture, the three self-contained suites do not disturb the stunning landscape, which seems to “integrate them” during the day. Constructed of blackened steel accents, burned natural timbers and concrete, with geometric lines and huge openings, for direct contact with nature,

All over the Mara Pavilion, from the bedroom and the dining room, to the pool, the view of the desert landscape dominates through large openings and outdoor spaces designed to ensure coolness during the hottest hours of the day.

they are dressed in desert colors to blend in perfectly with the environment. All three are named after the four elements of nature, since the latter plays a prominent role at Folly Mojave. The Water suite is perhaps the most special, with its rooftop hosting a large bed for those who prefer to sleep under the starry sky. It features huge openings, a well-designed kitchen, comfortable bed, shower and luxurious details.

The oTher T wo, Stone & Fire and Wind, have the same equipment but, in their case, the large openings have been replaced with large windows, providing security for those who need it. Inside, rustic elements, minimal furniture and light fixtures make up the decor. Clearly, more emphasis was placed on materials, architecture and natural finds, such as the large stone

that serves as a decorative feature within the suite. The lack of power is compensated by a solar microgrid, developed with the help of technology. As for the water, it comes from the Folly Mojave’s well. In fact, a dedicated system purifies it so it can be reused to water the scarce greenery.

A shorT disTAnce from the suites is a fourth building, the Mara Pavilion, inspired by the palm tree oasis of the same name. Here guests can watch movies, enjoy massages, holistic treatments, yoga classes, sauna, or take a dip in the temperature-controlled pool. And the experience ends with dinner at a selected spot in the desert, reached by jeep or on foot. Who said that self concentration in a breathtaking landscape doesn’t need amenities?

In the Water Suite, materials and architecture have been chosen with the natural environment in mind, so that the guest experiences direct contact with the desert at any time of the day or night.

A glimpse into the highest standards of quality and refinement, catering to those who appreciate the finer things in life.

MARC NEWSON WORKS

For Marc Newson, design is a means to problem-solving. And in fact, the renowned designer has solved numerous ones by including some of the best-known and prestigious brands in the mix, like Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Ford, Nike, Apple, and Gagosian Gallery, to name a few.

An industriAl designer doesn’t reinvent the wheel, claims 61-year-old Newson, one of the most influential designer-artists of our times. He certainly redefines it, though. That’s what the talented Australian-born artist -who has left nearly nothing outside his creative portfolio- did by designing for multiple sectors products ranging from watches, cars, furniture, airplanes, shoes, bottles, yachts, to public toilets!

By the Age of just 25, Marc Newson was already involved with industrial design. He had graduated from the University of Sydney’s Fine Art School, where he majored in jewelry design and sculpture, primarily for crafting objects. A tendency he had cultivated along with his Greek grandpa from his mother’s side, with whom he used to craft when he was little. He makes the start with the Lockheed Lounge, a challenging project that took six months to form, thus creating industrial design history. His

sculpture-like chaise longue made of thin plates of aluminum with rivets would be appreciated by many big brands and trigger his illustrious career. A career marked with high-profile collaborations, including Apple, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Ford, Ferrari, Nike, Knoll, Montblanc, Gagosian Gallery, and Quantas Airways, among many. Different collaborations, different products, different requirements, all with a common thread: Newman’s belief that the process remains always the same.

“design is A meAns to proBlem-solving, regardless whether it’s about a pen or a helicopter”. What always guides Newson’s mind is the scale and nature, which he considers to be the finest designer. Everything, from Apple watches to the award-winning Ford concept car and the Kelvin40 Jet Fondation Cartier airplane, is characterized by organic forms and futuristic vibes.

Air Vapormax, Nikelab 2017.

A personAl style which he sets aside when taking on a project so as not to overpower his clients. Marc Newson believes that designers are not brands in and of themselves. In his philosophy, he incorporates influences from various cultures in his oeuvre since he has traveled all over the world, having lived in Paris and Tokyo before moving to London. His works have gotten international distinctions and are included in the

permanent collections of museums the world over -from Centre Pompidou, MOMA to Smithsonian or the V & A, etc.- and have been auctioned at record prices. He saw the 10th out of 10 in total of his Lockheed Lounge (1988) sell for £2.5 million in 2015 and has raised $46 million in support of charities in another event. Still, the talented Mr. Newson remains humble and prefers to spend his summers in Ithaca, Greece.

ODE IN MOTION

The bespoke collaboration between the legendary Maserati and the historic Marchesi Antinori is inspired by a red wine and a lot of passion. The result? The first 100% electric GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello convertible.

The award-winning Tignanello from Marchesi Antinori winery serves as the occasion and reason for the unveiling of Maserati’s all-electric convertible in Tuscan vineyards colors.

When you add to the equation the iconic Maserati, celebrating 110 years of the Trident, on the one hand, and the historic Marchesi Antinori which has been producing wine for 600 years in Tuscany, on the other, you have a unique result. Literally. The first fully electric GranCabrio Folgore Tignanello convertible, released in a single copy, was auctioned off at a charity gala in Napa Valley. It was designed to celebrate the 50th birthday of Tignanello, the wine that shook up the Italian wine industry in the 1970s being the first red wine blending untraditional red Cabernet varieties. A wine that was misunderstood at first, especially in its homeland, only to later make it onto lists of the world’s best reds and international accolades.

Its productIon became the inspiration for the sophisticated modifications and nuances of the one-off convertible, which perfectly combines innovation, tradition, advanced technology, and craftsmanship with the Maserati Fuoriserie customization program. As Klaus Busse, head of design, notes, “we create experiences for Trident customers by designing bespoke cars that make the driving experience even more sublime and distinctive, just as an outstanding wine can be at the table”. The Maserati people

walked through the vineyards and explored the cellars to form a complete picture, before moving on to the design of the Folgore Tignanello GranCabrio, which in its mechanical part retains the unmistakable strengths of the GranCabrio.

the chestnut body was painted with a special paint and metallic finish in a burgundy shade, imitating the colors of Tuscan hills at sunset. The dashboard is made of dark wood, in honor of the winery’s oak barrels, and phrases from the label have been laser-engraved on it. On the neck warmers one can see the Tignanello sun embroidered inside the Maserati trident. On the central tunnel the dates of the first and last harvests during the 50 years of the wine’s history have been engraved. The four regular seats are upholstered with an innovative fabric, recalling with burgundy and silver stripes the rows of vines and the metal elements of the barrels. Vegea has the texture of leather and is used for the first time by Maserati. Matte black for the wheels, glossy black for the brake discs, black also for the soft top that folds up in 14 seconds.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The award-winning Italian chef creates sophisticated flavors that elicit not only the senses but also emotion.

AwArded with 3 Michelin stArs and owner of the top-rated Osteria Francescana, Massimo Bottura thinks his grandmother cooked tortellini better than him, but this doesn’t bother him at all. The philosophical and artistic chef is not interested in cooking well; he seeks to evoke emotions and memories by elevating traditional recipes driven by art. “In the kitchen the most important ingredient is culture, civilization”, he often says, and his culinary adventure starts with the tradition of his hometown Modena, which specializes in parmesan and balsamic vinegar but also in Ferraris, Maseratis, and Lamborghinis, characteristics of Emilia Romagna, which will inspire his latest book “Slow Food, Fast Cars”. Here he would open Osteria Francescana in 1995 together with his wife Lara Gilmore, whom he met in New York. One of the best restaurants in the world, according to the World’s 50 Restaurants list, which will initially be misunderstood because its chef overturns stereotypes. Later it will become the starting point for a five-star course with international collaborations including the restaurants of Gucci and Ferrari.

And becAuse MAssiMo puts order into the chaos in his mind only when he expresses himself, he will move on to a new track, always venturing with Lara: a special Guesthouse in Modena’s countryside. Casa Maria Luigia, that reaps laurels for its tastes, interior, works of art and its 32,000 vinyl records collection. But the tireless creator also believes in social justice. He started Food for Soul nonprofit organization, and in 2015 he opens the first Refettorio. Today his social kitchens cook for the underprivileged in 13 cities around the world, from Naples to San Francisco, and he organizes cooking classes for children with special needs. And to think his father was pushing him to become a lawyer!

BEYOND BOUNDARIES

XPD SERIES

Designed for a new generation of yachtsmen who seek limitless adventure and freedom, the XPD introduces all-year, all-weather cruising, in absolute comfort and style. Are you ready to embark on the ultimate journey with no boundaries?

Rugged, unstoppable, and versatile, the XPD sets a new standard in year-round cruising.

Technohull is setting a new standard in yacht design with its latest innovation - the XPD, the inaugural model in its highly anticipated Expedition Series. This new family represents much more than just a fresh design concept; it marks a groundbreaking entry in the world of explorer-type cruisers, bringing together a powerful blend of performance, luxury, and versatility. With all-weather capabilities, a cutting edge hull design, expansive living space, and a fully convertible deck, the XPD masterfully combines the rugged protection and all-weather profile of Scandinavian-style vessels with the open-air elegance and luxury comfort of Mediterranean cruisers.

unstoppable adventure At the heart of the XPD is a philosophy of unstoppable adventure. The all-weather, all-season capability is a cornerstone of the vessel’s design, enabling it to tackle the roughest seas and offer exceptional offshore performance, while maintaining top-tier comfort. Whether you’re navigating through stormy waters or basking under the Mediterranean sun, the XPD is poised to handle it all. The state-of-the-art deep V hull design with a high bow and significant flare is engineered to master even the most extreme conditions, and slice through waves with remarkable stability. The fully protected superstructure ensures that every journey is comfortable, no matter the weather. Even in adverse conditions the XPD thrives, making year-round cruising possible and empowering adventurers who refuse to be confined by seasonal limitations.

All-weather, all-season cruising is a cornerstone of the XPD Series’ design. A fully enclosed superstructure delivers rugged protection and top-tier comfort at all times, while a cutting-edge hull design masters even the most extreme conditions.

freedom beyond boundaries The Expedition Series delivers a true sense of freedom, offering a limitless experience for those who dare to explore the world on their own terms. Every inch of the yacht is designed to break down boundaries, from its ample deck layout to its innovative convertible spaces. The spaciousness of the yacht is accentuated by its 4.8-meter beam, which gives it a commanding presence, and maximizes space offering an unexpectedly ample deck for her class. The absence of tubes enhances this sense of openness, highlighting the true size of the vessel, and creating a clean, elegant design that feels both vast and welcoming. The real sense of freedom, however, comes from the convertible superstructure. With retractable sliding doors, a sliding roof, and a fully opening aft window, the central living space can transform from a completely enclosed, weather-protected area into an open-air lounge. This seamless transition allows the guest to enjoy the sun and sea breeze in perfect conditions or retreat into comfort when the elements become harsh.

unmatched offshore performance The XPD is a testament to Technohull’s commitment to pushing the limits of performance. Standing as an unstoppable machine, while keeping the quality of the overall cruising experience on the top of her list, is what actually sets her apart. Given her high caliber profile, a supreme offshore performance in literally any weather condition, even the harshest ones, comes as a standard. But what is impressive about this new family is that it showcases all the advantages of typical explorer-type boats but none of the limitations. Its stateof-the-art deep V hull design, developed with Dynastream patented technology to support the vessel’s width and weight, cuts effortlessly through the water, providing a smooth and stable ride, even when faced with heavy seas, while her remarkably high bow with significant flare further enhances the vessel’s offshore and heavy weather capabilities.

The XPD embodies the open-air elegance and luxurious comfort of a true Mediterranean-style cruiser, featuring expansive outdoor spaces and ultra-comfortable lounging spots.

The fully convertible superstructure seamlessly transforms from a completely enclosed area into an open-air lounge.

open-air luxury The deck design follows Technohull’s new design philosophy, redefining what an explorer-type yacht can be. With a significant beam that maximizes space without compromising performance, XPD provides a true feeling of luxury on the water. Spacious and functional outdoor areas and ultra-comfortable lounging spots come to upgrade the overall experience and present a modern interpretation of luxury lounging. In the aft a generous island sunbed evokes the feeling of pure Mediterranean coolness, giving the promise of a fully satisfying experience. An option between a sofa and a wet bar comes to complement the aft area, meeting different deck configuration needs. The bow section, fitted with an extra-large sunbed, offers an alternative lounging spot, where guests can enjoy the open-air experience to the fullest. The XPD showcases a perfect blend of high-end aesthetics and functionality, boasting exciting new design features that are perfectly matched with a sense of luxury and the unmistakable elegance of the Technohull brand. The island sunbed offers a very practical dual opening, boasting ample storage space for water toys, utilities, and a small dinghy as well. Fine upholstery and premium marine fabrics offer a pleasing sense of comfort while deck amenities such as atmospheric led lights, premium quality audio systems and a selection of top-quality deck fittings form a sophisticated, contemporary atmosphere of pure indulgence.

The superstructure houses the cockpit and a comfortable lounge with a U-shaped seating arrangement and a wet bar. With fully retractable sliding doors, a sliding roof and a fully-opening aft window, it allows guests to enjoy an open-air experience in perfect conditions or retreat into comfort when the elements become harsh.

a new standard for comfort and privacy The XPD  sets a new standard for comfort and privacy with its thoughtfully designed master cabin and aft cabin, ensuring that every journey is not only an adventure but also a luxurious retreat. Presenting a perfect fusion of modern elegance and practical design, the interiors ensure that every guest on board experiences the highest level of comfort while maintaining a sense of privacy. Premium materials, fine craftsmanship, and carefully thought-out amenities, make the XPD a true home away from home, no matter where the journey takes you.

The master cabin, located at the front of the superstructure, is designed to provide an exceptional level of comfort and sophistication. Accessed through a front door inside the main lounge, this space offers a sense of exclusivity and privacy, making it an ideal escape. Comfortable and luxurious, it features a large, double bed that promises restful sleep, a separate head room equipped with all the essential amenities and spacious cabinets for personal storage. Meanwhile, the aft cabin, accessible from the inner aft side of the superstructure, offers equally comfortable accommodations. This secondary cabin is designed with an oversized double bed, providing ample space and comfort for additional guests. The clever layout of the aft cabin allows for easy access without sacrificing the overall design flow of the yacht’s interior, offering a cozy yet practical space for resting after a day at sea.

The interiors include a master and an aft cabin, which present a perfect fusion of modern elegance and practical design, ensuring that every journey is not only an adventure but also a luxurious retreat.
Built to break boundaries, the XPD redefines what an explorer-type boat can be.

LENNY

How does it feel to ride 21-meter-high waves the size of the White House? Euphoria! Says the ultimate waterman of our time, Kai Lenny. .

Kai Lenny never shies away from a wave, no matter how big it is. He charges in, rides it, and emerges victorious, making surfers around the world delirious. The precision, speed, and times he achieves have earned him sweeping international awards in big wave surfing, kitesurfing, and paddleboarding, breaking records, and being the youngest athlete to be inducted into the Surfer’s Hall of Fame at the age of 27. In his case, it does not appear at all unreasonable that at the age of 32 he has his own television series “Life of Kai” (Red Bull channel), writes books, presides over a foundation that financially supports children who wish to engage in the sport (Positively Kai Foundation), and his net worth amounts to 7 million dollars.

Kai was born in the 90s, a time that glorified water sports. In fact, he was fortunate to grow up, as he frequently says, on the southern shore of Maui, Hawaii, with the waves in his backyard. With his parents hooked on surfing, his first encounter with the board at the tender age of five was fateful. Before he was ten, he was already riding a kite with notable surfers Laird, Dave Kalama, Robbie Nash, Gerry Lopez, and Derrick Doener observing and

instructing him. Friends of his parents, they were his superheroes who taught him how to survive in the ocean and keep his head down in the face of success.

aside from taLent, his daily practice, perseverance in pushing boundaries, passion for the sea, and his physical stamina have earned him two WSL Big Wave Awards overall wins and have helped him defeat seasoned athletes at the Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge 2020, held at Portugal’s famous Praia do Norte beach. The bigger the wave, the greater the challenge for Kai, since fear is a source of power for him.

“ the moment your life is at stake, it’s only natural to be afraid, but instead of thinking about what might happen, you focus on what you want, and you charge forward instead of backing down.” Even when his helmet broke and he hit his head, he didn’t back down. He returned undeterred, intervening in the design to make helmets for big wave surfing safer. Kai recently became a father of twin girls and is already dreaming of the moment he will teach them to ride the waves. For this multifaceted athlete, surfing is a source of life inspiration, and he wants to introduce the younger generation to it.

Kai believes that surfing and snowboarding have things in common. Instead of waves, you tame mountain peaks with your adrenaline pumping, but as he admits, he’s never been that good in snow.

From last year’s trip to Alaska, where he tried his hand at snowboarding under the guidance of top-ranking Travis Rice.

Powerful Elegance

Fitness equipment rivalling design, non-negotiable style and functionality for full-body workout.

Stylish Workouts

pent fitness equipment is not just suitable for strengthening, flexibility, and endurance exercises on yachts, hotels, or home gyms. They are also designed to contribute to their interior decoration. The Polish company stands out for its luxurious style, which it ensures by constructing its equipment from Italian leather, expensive wood, and bronze or steel details. It even takes its glam intentions to the next level by allowing the user to engrave his or her name, for example, on the kettlebell. Typical cases are the Ana and Racka combo sets with balls, dumbbells, mats, and everything one needs for a fullbody workout, all neatly arranged on an elegant wooden base.

Fun Rowing

You row against the resistance of the water, while sitting in your living room, watching your avatar pulling an oar on the screen. “Ergatta” transforms rowing into a video game with hundreds of customized routines on its own screen, while using water to cushion the user’s back from the intensity of the exercise. Among its advantages: its cherry wood structure and vintage elegance, along with the fact that it is easily portable and also easy to store anyplace; while when folded, it takes up the same area as a bar stool.

ART TITANS

Jeff Koons

is undoubtedly one of the most important and influential contemporary artists of our time. Known for his thought-provoking works, Koons has revolutionized contemporary art with his groundbreaking ideas and approach, challenging traditional artistic boundaries.

In a 2019 auction held by Christie’s, his iconic stainless steel Rabbit sculpture, initially expected to sell for an estimated USD 50 to 70 million, shattered expectations by fetching an astounding USD 91.1 million. This historic sale cemented Koons’ status as the world's most expensive and valuable living artist.

THE HOLY GRAIL

Sculpted of stainless steel in 1986, the three-foot-tall oversized Rabbit is one of three editions of the same sculpture, plus an artists’ proof. Stainless Steel Rabbit Sculpture showcases the pure contradiction in Jeff Koons work. An almost violent, yet tiny carrot is held in the Rabbit’s hands, creating a striking contrast against the cherub-like roundness of its torso and face.

A large external trumpet that appears to be signaling and calling travelers from distant lands.

Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor’s largest sculpture makes little effort to blend into the expansive landscape; yet, it beautifully complements it. Made from Serge Ferrari textile -a monumentally strong fabric capable of withstanding the harshest weather conditions- the sculpture stretches out like a massive trumpet, with bell-shaped openings at either end. Kapoor designed this unusual form to amplify the sounds of the surrounding landscape as they rush through it. Beyond its acoustic function, the sculpture has a striking theatrical presence, commanding attention and dominating its surroundings. It imposes itself so naturally that it feels as if it has always been there.

Anish Kapoor made his strikingly vast public art sculpture Dismemberment, Site 1 in 2009, for a wide-open stretch of land in Gibbs Farm, Kaipara Harbour, New Zealand. This amazingly large as an eight-story building piece of art is made of vast PVC membrane stretched between two giant steel ellipses.
KAWS’s modified concept of creativity, frees itself from the moralistic distinction between high and low.

KAWS

No cartoon is safe from being reimagined into KAWS. Brian Donnelly studied illustration at the School of Visual Arts in New York and, from an early age, was known for tagging buildings in New Jersey and Manhattan with KAWS - a name he chose simply because he liked how the letters looked together. In 1999, after being approached by Bounty Hunter, a cult toy and streetwear brand, KAWS traveled to Japan and created his first toy, COMPANION. Resembling a dystopian Mickey Mouse, COMPANION features a skull and crossbones for a head and signature crossed-out eyes, establishing the distinct visual language that would define his work.

With arms spread wide and face turned toward the sky, KAWS’s HOLIDAY inflatable sculpture (2018) spent a month floating in Seoul’s Seokchon Lake. The 28-meter art installation was created in collaboration with the Hong Kong creative studio AllRightsReserved and is one of the artist’s many large-scale installations.
