VRIPACK_FUTURA
[ WIP ]
F
utura is the new 66m fossil-free yacht concept from Dutch design studio Vripack. Co-creative
director Marnix Hoekstra believes the ability of wildlife to move through air and water efficiently should be mimicked to use as little energy as possible to cleave the waves. As a result, Futura is slender, efficient and a third of the height of a comparable vessel. Her curving, flowing lines exude an elegant femininity derived from natural shapes. The superstructure is egg-shaped, the bow end streamlined and the mid-section rounded, creating a whale-like silhouette. Designed as a ‘split and merge’ concept, Futura takes human interaction as its source of inspiration. The result is a loft style, split mezzanine configuration that intertwines and interconnects - outside as well as in, upstairs as well as down. A large crystal dome ensures everyone stays in visual contact. Futura is an electric/diesel hybrid with a difference too. The radical onboard biodegradale, bio-based batteries are made from salt, sand, water and plants, and are charged by a huge kite on an electric winch that can be released at the touch of a button (an in-house Vripack design).
