Silverlining is previewing a collection of furniture pieces for superyachts at the 2011 Monaco Yacht Show. Silverlining furniture pieces show a radical departure from traditional preconceptions of what the luxury furniture on yachts should look like (think high gloss ebony). The superyacht collection explores the relationship between design and craftsmanship in the 21st century, pushing the boundaries of engineering and furniture making and placing the experiences of a modern person at the centre of design.
After the official launch at the Monaco Yacht Show, the collection will be exhibited in London during the Frieze week in October. The collection consists of six pieces and includes tables, cabinets, seating and a desk.
Silverlining approached four well respected superyacht designers in 2009 including Bannenberg & Rowell Design, Eidsgaard Design, Michael Leach Design and Remi Tessier. The idea was to explore the future of yacht interiors together.
Mark Boddington, Silverlining’s founder and director commented “We wanted to inspire the superyacht world and explore where the future of interiors is heading, and we wanted to lead that change.”
Silverlining’s progressive collaborations is already be realized onboard megayacht Palladium and superyacht Pacific, with further projects both on superyachts and on land currently in development in the Silverlining workshops. Innovation is one of the company’s core values and the team is constantly developing new ideas, putting the modern superyacht owner at the center of design.
After 14 years exhibiting at the Monaco Yacht Show Silverlining is relocating to the Darse Nord air-conditioned tent at a new large stand QD3 next to the builders’ gallery.
The 2011 Monaco Yacht Show takes place from 21st-25th September at Port Hercules – Boulevard Albert 1er – Principality of Monaco
