For Silver Arrows Marine the design is a result of a brand cooperation with Mercedes-Benz. You can imagine how is important the dna involved in the design process of the team. Is a teamwork, and not a single designer.
How would you describe your personal design style?
The philosophy of Mercedes-Benz Style is based on intelligent and progressive design that works perfectly. Every product created by Mercedes-Benz Style embodies the very deliberate and distinctive use of innovative materials, colour combinations, structures, shapes and light. Mercedes-Benz Style creates these exclusive products in close collaboration with selected premium manufacturers.
Where does your design inspiration come from?
Comfort and avant-garde on the water.
Fascinating design with all the speed and elegance of a Silver Arrow.
The Mercedes-Benz designers’ passion for new unseen designs has resulted in something unique indeed: a progressive and fascinating motor yacht that reflects the dynamic design of Mercedes-Benz and stands for luxury, style and pleasure on the water.
A “Silver Arrow of the seas”, it features the charismatic design elements contained in the famous sports cars and these have been adapted to the specific requirements of a motor yacht in a way that communicates pure emotion.
In what direction do you feel that design is moving towards in a general sense?
Displaying the Mercedes-Benz design philosophy, the automotive DNA in ARROW460-Granturismo is plain to see. It ensures sensual purity unlike anything else on the water while delivering an on-board experience that only a complete re-imagining of the 14m class of motor yacht could deliver.
