INSIDE THE WORLD OF
ICONS
XPD SERIES
Dear friends, True icons are never created by chance. They emerge through vision, consistency and the determination to move forward when circumstances demand resilience rather than certainty. They are rarely recognized the moment they are created. Instead, they earn their place over time through authenticity, innovation and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Whatever the discipline, they all share one defining characteristic: they inspire others to follow. That same philosophy has always guided Technohull. We have never been interested in following established paths. Our ambition has always been to create them, setting new benchmarks that redefine expectations and inspire the industry to move forward. It is this mindset that continues to drive us today. The world around us is changing. Global markets are being tested by shifting economic conditions, geopolitical uncertainty and rapidly evolving customer expectations. Our industry is facing one of its most demanding periods in recent years. Yet history has shown that the strongest brands are not built during easy times. They are built by those who continue moving forward when others hesitate. We see these moments not as obstacles, but as opportunities to sharpen our focus, reaffirm our values and continue investing in the future. At Technohull, progress has always been a conscious choice. It is the result of our commitment to innovation, engineering and longterm vision. This philosophy has enabled us not only to navigate today's challenges, but also to continue growing, expanding our presence and strengthening our position in the global market. This year marks another important chapter in that journey with the introduction of the Alpha 45. More than a new model, it represents our vision of the modern high-performance sport boat. Designed around the driving experience and engineered without compromise, it embodies everything Technohull stands for and, we believe, possesses every quality to become an icon in its own right.
With that in mind, the fifth edition of SEABORN is devoted to Icons, a celebration of the people, ideas and creations that have transformed their respective fields, challenged conventions and stood the test of time. They all remind us of one simple truth: lasting icons are defined not by what they follow, but by what they inspire. I wish you an inspiring read!

THE PATH OF AN ICON
MUHAMMAD ALI 1964
In 1964, the 22-year-old Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. stunned the world by defeating the seemingly invincible Sonny Liston to become the youngest world heavyweight champion in history at the time. Days later, he announced his conversion to Islam and adopted the name Muhammad Ali, a decision that marked the beginning of a legacy extending far beyond boxing. Olympic gold medallist, three-time world heavyweight champion and the first boxer to win the heavyweight title three times, Ali became one of the most influential sporting figures of the twentieth century. Few athletes have shaped both their sport and their era as profoundly. By the time he lit the Olympic cauldron at the 1996 Atlanta Games, Muhammad Ali had become one of the defining icons of the twentieth century.

Designed to last forever.
Before they became icons, they were just symbols, created for a moment, but built to outlive it. A swoosh, a tongue, a bolt of lightning: timeless marks, a universal language across generations.
Designed by graphic design student Carolyn Davidson for just $35, the Nike Swoosh became one of the most valuable visual identities ever created. Inspired by the wing of the Greek goddess Nike, its single flowing line captures movement, speed and ambition with remarkable simplicity.
Created in 1970 by young British graphic design student John Pasche, the tongue-and-lips logo first appeared on the cover of Sticky Fingers in 1971. Inspired by Mick Jagger's expressive lips and the Hindu goddess Kali, it distilled the irreverent spirit of The Rolling Stones into a single unforgettable image and soon became the universal symbol of rock 'n' roll rebellion.

In 2022, Porsche celebrated 50 years of Porsche Design with an exclusive 911 named in honour of the milestone.
Originally introduced as the 901, Porsche’s new sports car was forced into an unexpected identity change after Peugeot claimed rights to three-digit model names with a zero in the middle. Replacing one digit solved a legal dispute, and unknowingly created one of most legendary automotive names in history. few moments in automotive history are as remarkable as the birth of the Porsche 911. Six years in the making, the car destined to succeed the much-admired 356 finally stepped onto the stage at the Frankfurt IAA in September 1963. Ferry Porsche’s brief was ambitious: more interior space, more output, lower production costs, yet unmistakably a Porsche. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, who joined the family company in 1957, delivered exactly that. His fourth car design introduced a silhouette that would become one

of the most legendary in automotive history. Unveiled as the Porsche 901, it seemed destined for greatness. But French carmaker Peugeot objected to Porsche using any three-digit number where the middle number was 0, asserting ownership of the naming rights. With badges already produced and brochures printed, Porsche faced an unexpected dilemma. Ferdinand Alexander’s solution was elegantly simple: replace the zero with another one. What a symbolic gesture. The 901 became the 911. And the 911 became a legend.

THE SPEED ICON
It all starts with speed. Long before it became a number to chase or a record to break, speed was an instinct that has always been part of human nature. A desire to push beyond every limit in pursuit of something greater. For Technohull, that instinct became a philosophy that has defined the brand from the very beginning. The rest has been Technohull defining speed.

The Sea DNA 999 pioneered a new era of high-performance RIBs, introducing a philosophy that would influence the market as a whole.
Since the very beginning, speed has shaped Technohull. What followed was a relentless pursuit of making high performance more than a number. From the first models to the latest generation, every hull, every line and every engineering decision has served the same purpose: to make extraordinary performance usable, predictable and repeatable. Not simply to go faster, but to master speed. Again and again. With complete confidence. Without compromise. Long before world records captured headlines, Technohull boats were already proving their character across RIB races in Greece and abroad, demonstrating that performance was never an afterthought. The Sea DNA 999 marked the beginning of a journey defined by speed. With a racer's heart and an uncompromising pursuit of performance, it became one of the most iconic RIBs of its generation, laying the foundations of Technohull's performance DNA. Every new model carried that same philosophy forward, continuously redefining expectations, setting new benchmarks and establishing the direction the market would follow. As the company evolved, so did its engineering. An experienced in-house team of naval architects and engineers, continuous investment in research and development, and advanced composite construction

transformed that early passion for speed into a philosophy founded on precision, repeatability and uncompromising performance. That relentless evolution reached one of its defining moments in 2018. Powered by three outboard engines delivering a combined 1,200 horsepower, the 38 Grand Sport reached 117 mph, exceeding 103 knots and becoming the fastest deep-V RIB of its kind. Yet the record itself was never the destination. It simply demonstrated what had guided Technohull from the very beginning: extraordinary speed is meaningful only when it is matched by absolute control. The story did not end there. From the Super Fast Edition to the Carbon Limited Edition, the 38 Grand Sport continued to cross the 100 mph threshold, raising the benchmark time and again. Each evolution proved that true performance is not defined by a single record, but by the ability to repeat it with the same confidence, precision and composure. Today, that philosophy enters its next chapter with the Alpha 45. Designed around the driving experience and engineered for uncompromising performance, it represents the latest expression of a legacy more than two decades in the making. Every Technohull has redefined speed in its own way. The Alpha 45 is ready to do it again.

Frida Kahlo The Making of an Icon Myth or brand? Frida Kahlo is both, suggests Tate Modern’s new exhibition, which explores how the Mexican artist became one of the world’s most influential superstars.
if frida kahlo were alive today, she would undoubtedly be the number one image-maker and content creator. The legendary Mexican artist crafted her public image in the last century at a time when such things existed only in Hollywood scripts, carefully staging a different facet of her multifaceted personality each time: resilient in the face of the pain caused by her disability, a devoted wife to the unfaithful Diego, a bisexual lover, a revolutionary feminist, a communist, and a daring intellectual in a male-dominated society. It is these aspects of her life that Tate Modern’s exhibition “Frida Kahlo: The Making of an Icon,” on view in London until early 2027, sets out to explore, bringing together 130 of her own works, alongside works by artists influenced by her art, as well as objects featuring her portrait. In response to the question of whether another exhibition on Kahlo is necessary, the organizers explain that the focus is on the subsequent evolution of the image of this revolutionary painter, who remains a political symbol of her country while also having become a lucrative international brand. seventy-two years after her death, Frida—with her joined eyebrows and unsmiling face—remains, in a sense, alive

and ever-present. Even those who do not know much about her art are familiar with details of her love affairs, her resilience, her rebellious spirit, and her unparalleled personal aesthetic. They know her image and identify her vulnerable side, which Frida Kahlo reveals whenever the opportunity arises. In this way, she becomes familiar, popular, and beloved among diverse groups. Many people seek a personal point of reference, something that will inspire them to buy clothes, accessories, decorative items, scented candles, and bottles of tequila featuring her colorful portrait adorned with traditional jewelry and ornaments. This phenomenon, known as “Fridamania,” has been going strong for two decades and seems inexhaustible and uncontrollable, even for the Frida Kahlo Corporation, which was founded to protect the intellectual property rights in her work as well as her image itself. what would kahlo herself have said? Some say she would have found it amusing, while others claim she would have had strong objections to all this discourse, as she was a fierce critic of the capitalist mindset.

SUPERIOR WATCHMAKING
The waterproofness of each finished watch is tested in a hyperbaric tank
when hans wilsdorf founded rolex in 1905, the wristwatch had yet to earn its place in modern life. Pocket watches remained the accepted standard, while wristwatches were regarded as delicate accessories rather than reliable instruments. Wilsdorf saw something entirely different. He believed the wristwatch represented the future, provided it could achieve the precision, durability and convenience required for everyday use. turning that vision into reality demanded more than innovation. It required redefining the very principles of watchmaking. Rolex focused on three fundamental challenges. The first was precision. In 1914, one of the brand’s wristwatches received the prestigious Class A precision certificate from the Kew Observatory in England, becoming the first wristwatch to achieve a distinction previously reserved for marine chronometers. It was a landmark moment that proved a wristwatch could equal the accuracy of the world’s finest timekeepers. The second challenge was protection. Introduced in 1926, the Oyster became the world’s first waterproof wristwatch, its hermetically sealed case safeguard-

ing the movement against dust, moisture and the demands of everyday life. Five years later came another breakthrough: the Perpetual rotor, a self-winding mechanism that harnessed the natural movement of the wearer’s wrist to maintain consistent power and precision. Together, these innovations laid the foundations not only for Rolex, but for modern mechanical watchmaking itself. today, rolex remains one of the few watchmakers to control virtually every stage of production in-house. Across its Swiss manufacturing facilities, everything from proprietary gold alloys and cases to movements, dials and bracelets is developed, produced and assembled under the brand’s exacting standards. Every finished watch undergoes rigorous testing before earning Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer certification, reflecting a philosophy built on uncompromising quality and reliability. more than a century later, Hans Wilsdorf ’s vision endures. A relentless pursuit of precision, reliability and excellence that continues to define one of watchmaking’s greatest icons.

Inside her luminous studio, clay becomes both medium and companion, giving rise to sculptural works that exist between object and presence, body and landscape. knudsen’s pieces are meticulously hand-built using a traditional coiling technique, allowing form to emerge gradually through gesture and repetition. Each sculpture is left raw and unglazed, preserving the clay’s natural surface and subtle tonal variations. Nothing is concealed; the material is honoured in its most elemental and expressive state.

Every piece emerges slowly, shaped by hand and freed from predetermined design. An intuitive process that has drawn an international audience of collectors and connoisseurs, captivated by the sincerity of her materials and the quiet poetry that defines her practice. this sensibility finds an intimate expression in her collection Jardin Imaginaire. Here, nature reveals itself not as a complete landscape, but as a constellation of fragments. Organic forms appear like preserved botanical memories, traces, imprints, and delicate remains suspended in clay. Like echoes of a forgotten garden, the works drift between recognition and abstraction, forming a contemplative terrain where nature rests in stillness and quiet reverie.

SPLENDIDO 1902 For more than a century, Splendido has held its place above the Bay of Portofino like a promise the Italian Riviera keeps making. The former Benedictine monastery opened its doors to guests in 1902 and evolved into one of the world's most storied hotels, welcoming generations of artists, royalty and discerning travellers.

OSCAR NIEMEYER
With flowing forms, inspired by nature, Oscar Niemeyer created an architectural language that transformed concrete into monumental poetry.
The modernist buildings of the Brazilian architect are easily recognizable by their curves, a form that Oscar Niemeyer faithfully embraced, as he believed it was dictated by nature itself rather than the human mind. “If you want to master space, you should design only curves, because this is the most natural solution,” the architect Oscar Niemeyer, one of the most influential modernists of the 20th century, used to say. Among the 600 futuristic buildings he left behind—mainly in Brazil and the United States— large structures with vast curves and arches dominate the landscape without weighing down their environment: the almost unreal government offices in Brasilia, the Brazilian capital; the Museum of Modern Art in Niterói; the headquarters of the French Communist Party in Paris, and the Palace of Peace, which houses the United Nations headquarters.
54.
The latter, in particular, became the reason he was invited to teach at Yale and Harvard universities. In his buildings, harsh straight lines and sharp angles are absent, as he considers them a human invention that did not interest him. Despite the influence he received from his colleague Le Corbusier (with whom he designed the Peace Palace), the left-wing visionary preferred sensual curves, which he saw as dominant in nature—“like those found in the mountains and rivers of my country, or in the body of my beloved wife.” In his own approach, reinforced concrete bends and flows so that function follows form, rather than the other way around. With this legacy, Oscar Niemeyer entered history as the father of Brazilian modernism, was awarded the Pritzker Prize, and his sensuous architecture became a reference point in architecture schools around the world, despite those who considered his work the creation of a utopian environment.

The finest days on the water begin with a boat that makes every moment feel effortless. Spacious enough to gather family and friends, refined enough to linger from sunrise until sunset, and capable enough to turn every ride into a pleasure, the Alpha 40 continues to define what day boating at its finest truly means. It is no coincidence that the Alpha 40 is Technohull's most celebrated model. Year after year, she earns her place at the top not through reinvention but through something much harder to design: a completeness that is immediately felt the moment you step on board. Every surface, every seat, every considered detail speaks to a boat designed around real days on the water, not imaginary ones. The deck is generous in the way that actually matters. At the bow, a wide sunbed sets the tone early, unhurried, open, made for good company, long mornings and slow afternoons. Aft, the space adapts to the owner, offering many configuration options to choose from with one goal in mind: to cater to the finest experience whatever the day calls for. A choice between a small or big sunbed, or a forward-facing couch paired with a back-to-back seating or wet bar, both with integrated fridges, makes everything possible. And this is exactly how the Alpha 40 holds her shape as a social space effortlessly, whether you are hosting eight people or escaping with two. Below deck, the cabin offers something rarer than luxury, genuine comfort. Generous space to move
around freely, a comfortable double bed, a separate headroom with shower and natural light that makes the space feel alive rather than enclosed. High-end materials and quiet attention to detail do the rest, turning what could have been an afterthought into one of the boat's most quietly impressive qualities. On the water, the deep V Dynastream hull earns its reputation with every crossing. It handles whatever the sea offers with composure, delivering a ride that feels balanced and confident at all times, whatever the weather. Smooth at a relaxed pace and properly exhilarating when you decide to open it up. That breadth of capability, calm and unhurried one moment, alive and thrilling the next, is at the core of what makes the Alpha 40 so difficult to find fault with. The helm station, wrapped within a full-carbon hardtop and set behind a full-glass windshield, is the kind of place where you actually enjoy the act of navigating. A fully equipped touchscreen console, a row of three bucket seats, and a layout that puts everything exactly where you expect it to be. What the Alpha 40 ultimately offers is something that the finest things tend to share, the feeling that nothing is missing. Not a square metre of deck space, not a degree of comfort below, not a moment of pleasure on the water. She is a boat that understands what a perfect day looks like, and then delivers it, consistently, beautifully, and without compromise. Some boats you admire. This one you remember.
The finely appointed cabin creates a luxurious retreat below deck.

There’s a particular kind of restraint to the most memorable rooms at Milan Design Week 2026, spaces that draw you in through texture, proportion, and light rather than spectacle. At Palazzo Serbelloni, Louis Vuitton embraced this instinct, presenting its latest Objets Nomades collection with a sense of quiet control. Central to the exhibition was a homage to Pierre Legrain, whose work in the 1920s significantly influenced the house’s early design language. The Pierre Legrain Hommage collection reframes his vision with clarity rather than nostalgia. His 1921 dressing table reappears in Nomade leather, characterized by precise geometry, while a folding screen and the Chilean Riviera chair explore contrasts through marquetry, sheen, and shadow. These pieces evoke not mere references but a reminder of the sharpness inherent in Art Deco. This dialogue continues through contemporary collaborations. Estudio Campana reinterprets its Cocoon armchair in a prismatic dichroic finish that subtly shifts with
the light. Their aquamarine football table and kaleidoscopic cabinet, composed of hundreds of leather fragments, transform craftsmanship into visual rhythm. A softer counterpoint is provided by Raw Edges, whose chair combines rounded forms with a textile that gently distorts perception. Nearby, Franck Genser’s Aqua table introduces a sense of tension through its curved marble surface. Additionally, the collection expands into the rituals of living. Murano-blown Twist glassware, cut Diamond crystal, gilded tableware, and new textiles—ranging from throws to rugs—translate Legrain’s graphic compositions into tactile form, while smaller crafted objects underscore the house’s meticulous attention to detail at every scale. What Louis Vuitton achieved in Milan was not excess but precision. This sense of control—knowing precisely when to hold back—defines the collection and imparts lasting resonance.
Legrain’s debut piece, the Celeste dressing table, is reissued in its original Omega shape with lacquered wood and Nomade leather.

ETERNAL BEAUTY
Faces of Timelessness For Danelian House, photography has never simply documented jewellery. It has become part of the House's visual identity. For decades, its creations have been presented through women whose influence extends far beyond the runway, creating portraits where exceptional craftsmanship meets enduring personalities. Over the years, the Greek jewellery house has collaborated with some of fashion's most celebrated names, including Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Adriana Sklenarikova, Ana Beatriz Barros and Carmen Kass. Each embodies a different expression of beauty, yet all share the defining quality of an icon: the ability to remain relevant across generations. There is little excess. Clean compositions, restrained styling and intimate close-ups allow every diamond to become an extension of the woman who wears it. Rather than competing for attention, jewellery and personality exist in perfect balance. The result is a body of imagery that feels remarkably contemporary while resisting the passing trends of fashion photography. That enduring aesthetic mirrors the philosophy that has guided Danelian House since its founding by Christos Danelian in 1974. Built on exceptional craftsmanship, uncompromising quality and a profound appreciation for natural diamonds, the family-owned House continues to evolve under its second generation. Today, artistic direction, contemporary design and an expanding international presence ensure that Danelian's visual language remains as distinctive as the creations themselves. Like a perfectly cut diamond, an iconic face reveals new dimensions with every generation that rediscovers it. Fashion changes. Faces evolve. Trends fade. Yet when extraordinary craftsmanship meets extraordinary personalities, something greater emerges: images that outlive the moment of their creation. Much like the diamonds themselves, they continue to reflect beauty long after the camera has stopped capturing it.

There are boats designed for calm summer afternoons. Boats built for speed. Boats created for harsh weather conditions. And then there are boats that challenge the very idea that owners should have to choose between them. At the heart of the Expedition Series lies a different way of thinking about life on the water: one free from conventional limitations. The result is a modern explorer that combines the confidence and protection of a true all-weather platform with the openness, elegance and lifestyle appeal of a contemporary Mediterranean cruiser. Designed around the idea of unrestricted cruising, the XPD challenges conventional boundaries between explorer and cruiser, creating a platform equally suited to offshore passages and leisurely escapes. It occupies a category of its own, where protection and openness, capability and comfort coexist in perfect balance.
imagine departing before sunrise. The sea is still dark and the air carries the coolness of the night. Inside the protected superstructure, conversation flows effortlessly while the coastline slowly fades into the distance. Hours later, the weather changes. A breeze develops into a strong wind and the sea begins to build. Yet nothing about the experience changes. The journey continues with the same confidence, the same comfort and the same sense of ease. And then, as conditions soften once again, the boat transforms. The roof slides open. The sliding doors retract, the aft window opens fully, and the protected lounge is suddenly connected to the sea in every direction. The boundaries between inside and outside dissolve. The protected lounge becomes an open-air living space. The journey that began as an offshore passage suddenly feels like a day spent beneath the Mediterranean sun.

This ability to adapt is what defines the XPD. It is not simply an explorer, nor is it a conventional cruiser. Inspired by the rugged capability of Scandinavian all-weather vessels and the effortless outdoor lifestyle of Mediterranean cruisers, the XPD brings two seemingly opposite worlds together in a single, coherent experience. Her distinctive profile immediately communicates purpose. The elevated bow, robust superstructure and commanding stance suggest a vessel ready to venture far beyond protected waters. Yet beneath this purposeful exterior lies an entirely different dimension, one defined not by endurance alone, but by the quality of the experience it delivers. Expansive lounging areas, generous deck spaces and a carefully considered layout transform every moment on board into an invitation to stay longer. The remarkable beam creates a feeling of openness rarely encountered in this category, while the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces establishes a new relationship between the owner and the surrounding environment. This balance between functionality and luxury extends throughout the vessel. Premium materials, refined finishes and meticulously crafted
details create an atmosphere that feels sophisticated without becoming excessive. Every element serves a purpose, supporting a lifestyle centred around effortless enjoyment of the sea. The accommodations continue the same philosophy. Comfortable, private and thoughtfully arranged, they transform extended cruising into a genuinely enjoyable experience. Whether spending a weekend exploring remote coastlines or embarking on longer adventures, guests can enjoy the comfort and privacy typically associated with a much larger yacht. Beneath her elegant surfaces lies the engineering heritage that has defined Technohull for decades. Developed around the shipyard’s advanced Dynastream hull technology, the XPD delivers the offshore capability expected from a vessel carrying the Technohull name. Her deep-V hull, wave-piercing bow and advanced hydrodynamics are engineered to master challenging sea conditions with confidence, delivering exceptional control, comfort and efficiency when the weather turns rough, while ensuring a smooth, balanced and pleasurable ride in calmer seas.
Beyond her offshore credentials, the XPD embraces a more relaxed pace of life. A refined living space, designed to be enjoyed, wherever the journey leads.

Yet perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the XPD is how effortlessly it conceals this capability. There is no need to constantly think about weather forecasts, seasonal limitations or whether a destination is too far away. The boat simply expands the possibilities. It encourages owners to stay longer, venture further and experience more. Her defining characteristic is not a specification, a feature or a design detail. It is the freedom that emerges from the very concept behind the XPD, where traditional compromises simply cease to exist.The freedom to cruise in every season. The freedom to enjoy the sea in every condition. The freedom to choose the journey without being constrained by the limitations of the
platform itself. More importantly, it is the freedom to embrace a different way of life on the water. One where changing weather is no longer an obstacle, where destinations are chosen by desire rather than practicality, and where the boating season is defined not by the calendar, but by the owner’s ambition to explore. By combining the protection of an all-weather explorer, the openness of a Mediterranean cruiser and the performance pedigree of Technohull, the XPD introduces a new way of experiencing the sea. One that extends beyond traditional categories and conventional expectations. And that, ultimately, is the X Factor.
The XPD ’s generous beam translated into remarkable deck space, creating an environment defined by openness, freedom of movement and a seamless connection to the sea.

Every corner of the Copacabana Palace tells a story of glamour, celebration and timeless Rio elegance.
For the traveler who has crossed its threshold, the legendary Copacabana is not just a five-star hotel. It is their own special place—their “Copa,” as they affectionately call it. Here, whatever happens, people have a good time, as all those who have experienced it, famous or not, say. This feeling is the essential ingredient behind the success story of the Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro, with its cosmopolitan setting, luxurious hospitality to the rhythms of samba, and its famous guests from all over the world. Photographs, documentaries, books, and its own Hall of Fame preserve the glamorous moments and adventures of this iconic jet-set meeting point, which is now approaching a century of history. Photographic snapshots recall its famous guests, unforgettable parties and concerts, such as the Rolling Stones’ show in front of 1,500,000 spectators on the beach in Rio de Janeiro. From the 1930s, when Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers tap-danced during the filming of Flying Down to Rio, to Marlene Dietrich, who in a moment of urgency did not hesitate to use the ice bucket as a toilet; from Orson Welles, who, furious with his partner, threw his typewriter from the sixth floor into the pool; to Brigitte Bardot, Queen Elizabeth, Lady Diana, Madonna, the Rolling Stones, Freddie Mercury arriving by helicopter on the roof, and the

Some were shown the door for misbehaving, such as Rod Stewart, who destroyed the presidential suite while playing football, and Janis Joplin, who once appeared naked. It is almost expected that every stay comes with a story. Caipirinhas, the dreamlike beach just steps away, and the luxurious décor are all inspiring. Crystal chandeliers, white and pink marble, antiques, and opulent carpets; a near-Olympic-sized pool in the exotic garden; and rooms reminiscent of Parisian apartments within an Art Deco building like those found on the French Riviera, which inspired architect Joseph Gire, who designed the building in the 1920s at the request of then-Brazilian President Epitacio Pessoa, who sought to boost tourism in the country. Indeed, the discerning traveler will recognize architectural echoes at the Copacabana Palace reminiscent of the Hôtel Negresco in Nice and the Hôtel Carlton in Cannes, both preserved thanks to their designation as national heritage monuments. Its recent acquisition by the Belmont Group will bring new momentum: its 239 rooms are being renovated, a five-story wellness center is set to be completed in 2026, and the hotel is preparing to open a new chapter in its history.

When you’re flying at 55,000 feet, breaking the sound barrier with a glass of Dom Perignon in hand, you probably don’t care at all about the noise, even if it’s deafening. That’s because the thrill that supersonic flight on the Concorde gave passengers was so intense that they didn’t care about details like the sonic boom, the small windows, or the cramped cabins. And if, on top of that, Andy Warhol were sitting in the seat next to them and unexpectedly asked if he could keep the elegant cutlery they hadn’t used as a souvenir, so much the better. Those who once traveled on the Concorde resembled members of a flying private club sharing a unique experience: flying on a rocket that connects one end of the Atlantic to the other in three and a half hours. And anyone who can’t appreciate that is probably a boring person, notes journalist Samme Chittum, who has written about the triumph and downfall of the supersonic aircraft.

The Concorde will go down in aviation history as the first 100-seat passenger aircraft to fly in the stratosphere, reaching a speed of Mach 2.02—twice the speed of sound. It took off for the first time with passengers on January 21, 1976, and for the next 27 years, it would make the world seem smaller. This achievement not only showcases engineering prowess but also solidifies an unexpected Franco-British partnership. As early as the 1960s, British Airways and Air France had been funding research, technological breakthroughs, and test flights to compete not only with their American rivals but also with the Russians and their experimental supersonic Tupolev Tu-44, which crashed ingloriously before it could begin flight operations. When construction was completed, their own “White Bird” was 56.24 meters long, a wingspan of 25.56 meters, and a nose resembling a giant beak that moves up and down during landing and takeoff to optimize aerodynamic performance

without obstructing the pilot’s view of the runway. Among its innovations are the triangular delta wings and its four engines, designed by RollsRoyce based on fighter jet standards. With an hourly fuel consumption of 6,770 gallons, the price of round-trip tickets will exceed $10,000. However, businesspeople, artists, royalty, and politicians are undeterred and pay the price to travel on the Concorde, enjoying the pampering during the flight. Beluga caviar, French champagne, a menu designed by Lacroix, tableware designed by interior designer Andrée Putman, an elegant crew in Nina Ricci uniforms, and high-end memorabilia of exceptional quality and aesthetic appeal. Bottle openers and luggage tags were there for passengers to take with them as they left the aircraft. And high above the clouds, you might just find yourself listening to Phil Collins or Paul McCartney sing, or striking up a conversation with Tony Blair, Sean Connery, or Madonna. Until 2001, when the curtain would finally fall, the Concorde became a symbol of social status but also a subject of intense controversy. The 1973 oil crisis, following the Six-Day War, would drive up its operating and maintenance costs and discourage potential buyers. Environmental organizations began to protest against air and noise pollution. The final chapter was written in 2000 following the fatal accident caused by a failure in its landing gear system outside Paris, which claimed the lives of 113 people. In 2003, the Concorde made its final flight from New York to London and was quietly retired to become an exhibit in museums in the United States, Britain, and France. Regardless of one’s answer to the question of whether it was ultimately a good or a bad aircraft, one must admit that the Concorde was one of a kind. A view of Concorde’s cockpit equipment

Everything onboard is engineered for performance. Because once a boat is capable of exceeding 90 mph, every detail becomes part of the equation. Performance is no longer measured by speed alone. It becomes about precision. Balance. Confidence. The carbon hardtop, sculpted with aerodynamics in mind, is far more than a defining design element. It carefully manages airflow over the cockpit, reducing turbulence while contributing to the boat's remarkable composure at high speed. Together with the opening side deflectors, it creates a noticeably calmer environment at the helm, allowing guests to enjoy the ride almost as much as the driver. That driver, however, sits somewhere entirely new. For the first time in Technohull's history, the steering wheel occupies the very centre of the console. More than a design statement, it fundamentally transforms the driv-
ing experience. Positioned on the boat's centreline, the helm delivers perfectly balanced sightlines, exceptional forward visibility and a direct connection with the hull that feels almost instinctive. Every input becomes more natural. Every turn more precise. Every mile more engaging. Surrounding it is an exceptionally wide, driver-focused console that immediately reflects the Alpha 45's uncompromising performance pedigree. Every control falls naturally to hand, while the large integrated touchscreen displays place navigation, engine data and vessel systems directly within the driver's field of view. Twin rows of triple shock-mitigating bucket seats complete a helm station engineered not simply for speed, but for complete confidence, allowing driver and passengers alike to experience the Alpha 45 exactly as it was intended.

Force: One moment you're carving through open water at speed. The next, you're easing back the throttles as the Alpha 45 glides effortlessly into a secluded bay. There is no abrupt change of character, no sense that one experience has ended and another has begun. The aggressive offshore machine quietly transforms into an elegant floating lounge. The transition feels entirely natural, as though the boat had been designed around precisely this rhythm of life on the water. That, perhaps, is her greatest achievement. The generous aft deck quickly becomes the place where everyone naturally gathers. Designed to adapt to the owner’s taste, it can be configured in multiple ways, from a welcoming L-shaped lounge to small or big sunbed arrangements with forward-facing seating, all while maintaining direct access to the swim platform. Whatever the arrangement, the result is the same: a space that encourages people to stay longer. The same feeling extends throughout the boat. Wide walkaround passages make movement effortless, while the generous proportions create a remarkable sense of openness rarely found aboard a performance boat. Forward, a spacious bow lounge with an oversized sunbed and an integrated console seating offers a quieter retreat. Here, the pace slows even further. Open the side console door and another surprise awaits. Below deck, the Alpha 45 reveals a cabin that feels remarkably refined for a boat conceived around performance. Natural tones, atmospheric lighting and generous headroom create an inviting living space, while the full-beam bathroom reinforces the impression that you're aboard something far larger than a 45-foot offshore machine. It is a level of comfort you simply don't expect, and one that completely changes the way you think about spending time on a performance boat. It is in these quieter moments that another side of the Alpha 45 reveals itself.
ALPHA 45
Look closer and you begin to notice the details. The beautifully stitched premium upholstery. The exposed carbon accents woven subtly throughout the deck. The ambient lighting that transforms the atmosphere as daylight fades. Even the wireless phone chargers, discreetly integrated into each side of the aft lounge, remind you that convenience has been engineered with the same care as performance. Individually, they may seem insignificant. Together, they define the experience. That, perhaps, is what makes the Alpha 45 so compelling. It isn't built simply for fast cruising or adrenaline-filled runs offshore. It is built for the complete journey. For longer days that become spontaneous overnights. For weekends that begin with the throttles wide open and end somewhere far from the coastline, where the engines fall silent and the sea is left to do all the talking. And when you think back on the day, it isn't just the top speed that stays with you. Nor is it a single design feature. What remains is the remarkable balance between everything the Alpha 45 was conceived to be. A genuine driver's boat. A refined luxury dayboat. A place to escape. A place to stay. Somewhere between the first surge of acceleration and the final quiet moments at anchor, you realise the Alpha 45 never asked you to choose between performance and comfort, capability and luxury, excitement and relaxation. It simply delivered the complete experience. Effortlessly.
The beautifully appointed cabin exceeds expectations for a sport boat, delivering a refined retreat below deck.

When Steve McQueen began work on the film in 1970, his ambition was never to make another Hollywood racing movie. An accomplished racing driver himself, McQueen wanted audiences to experience the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans as authentically as possible—the speed, the danger, the relentless concentration and the unique atmosphere of endurance racing. His vision was simple: let the race speak for itself. That philosophy shaped every aspect of the production. Filming began without a completed script, dialogue was deliberately kept sparse, and the race became the true protagonist. Rather than recreating Le Mans on a studio set, cameras were mounted inside real racing cars competing in the actual 1970 event, capturing footage at racing speeds and placing viewers closer to the action than ever before. More than forty professional drivers joined the production, including several past and future Le Mans winners. McQueen had hoped to race himself after finishing second at the 12 Hours of Sebring earlier that year, but insurance companies refused to let Hollywood's biggest star compete. Instead, his Solar Productions entered a specially prepared Porsche 908 camera car, which completed nearly the entire race while filming many of the sequences that would define the movie. The pursuit of realism came at a considerable cost. Production stretched two months beyond schedule, budgets escalated, the original director departed, and McQueen sacrificed both his salary and a significant part of his fortune to keep the project alive. When Le Mans premiered in 1971, audiences were puzzled by its unconventional approach. With little dialogue and no traditional Hollywood narrative, the film failed commercially and contributed to the collapse of McQueen's production company. Time, however, transformed its legacy. More than five decades later, Le Mans is widely regarded as the definitive racing film. The Gulf-liveried Porsche 917, McQueen's white racing suit and the Heuer Monaco on his wrist have become enduring symbols of motorsport culture. More importantly, the film remains unmatched in its authenticity, proving that the greatest stories are sometimes told not through words, but through the sound of engines.

Some movements begin with a manifesto. Others with a shared vision. The Antwerp Six began with six young designers, a van full of collections and a journey to London that would change fashion forever. Marking the 40th anniversary of their international breakthrough, the ANTWERP 6 exhibition is the first to bring together the work and legacy of Dirk Bikkembergs, Ann Demeulemeester, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dries Van Noten, Dirk Van Saene and Marina Yee in a single major retrospective. Rather than presenting them as a unified movement, the exhibition celebrates the individuality that made each designer revolutionary. Dedicated gallery spaces reveal six distinct creative worlds, tracing their evolution from students at Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts to internationally acclaimed designers who redefined contemporary fashion. Through archival garments, runway presentations, multimedia installations and immersive scenography, visitors discover how each challenged established conventions with a unique visual language. Together, the Antwerp Six transformed Antwerp into one of the world's leading fashion capitals and reshaped the course of modern design. Their influence continues to resonate across generations of designers, proving that originality, creative freedom and independent thinking remain among fashion's most enduring values. More than a retrospective, the exhibition is a celebration of a legacy that continues to inspire the future of fashion.

ANSELM KIEFER
Dark silhouettes emerge from the weathered canvases, 4.5 meters high and 3.5 meters wide, at the Palazzo Reale in Milan. As light falls upon them, the female figures vanish and reform, evoking their untold story in an almost mystical way. These are the 42 female alchemists of the site-specific installation created by Anselm Kiefer as part of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan. A tribute to those women who were in no way inferior to their male alchemist counterparts but were forced to study and experiment in their shadow, only to be subsequently forgotten by everyone. A prime example is Caterina Sforza, daughter of the Duke of Milan, who, despite having documented more than 400 medicines and alchemical recipes, has been consigned to oblivion. These unsung heroines who lived before the 18th century inspire the leading German artist, who sets out to bring them to light by playing with their own alchemical terms. He recreates the Sala delle
Cariatidi in his studio in France and crafts a powerful narrative by transforming his materials: oil, acrylic, shellac varnish, as well as clay, dried flowers, charcoal, sawdust, and the inevitable gold. His female figures pass through paravans to coexist harmoniously with the enchanting ruins of the Cariatid statues that were nearly destroyed by the bombing of the Palazzo during World War II. And while at first glance the work may seem to have a feminist undertone, the iconic artist has repeatedly clarified that his installation is primarily an act of justice and that his aim is to ensure recognition of the role of the Alchemistresses in history. The exhibition’s curator, Gabriella Belli, also supports his view, speaking of a bond of solidarity and kinship between the female alchemists and Kiefer. A symbol of postwar art in Europe, Kiefer has chosen to shed light through his art on the dark chapters of history, whether it be the horrors of the Holocaust or the excesses of war.

HIS AQUA OBSCURA XPD SERIES
Award-winning photographer Ben Thouard has a rather sci-fi darkroom: the unpredictable Pacific Ocean, which challenges, inspires, and guides him.
Only by swimming beneath a wave can you truly witness the struggle a surfer faces to ride its power. Award-winning photographer Ben Thouard, a surfer himself, knows this well. That is why he chooses to enter the wave with his camera, alongside the surfer. Shooting in manual mode while swimming, he pursues a single goal: to capture the moment, its emotion, and the extraordinary textures that define his photographs. born in toulon, he was introduced to the magical world of the sea, surfing, and photography as a child. He began traveling at an early age, and his travels eventually brought him to Tahiti in 2008 and to the legendary Teahupo’o, where waves exceed six meters. On its shores, he would find inspiration in the idyllic waters; he would first envision the image he wanted to capture, and then he would devote himself to creating it, taking as much time as he needed—an hour, many hours, or even a whole year. It was there that he developed his own photographic

style, one that focuses on the land as seen through the water. His daring images have earned international recognition and led him to an exclusive assignment: He was the only photographer to cover the surfing competition at the 2024 Olympic Games in Tahiti for Agence France-Presse. It was an unforgettable experience that, as he later recalled, “exhausted and thrilled” him, testing his endurance as he spent up to 10 hours a day in the water, mostly free-diving without scuba gear. Driven by his passion for the waves, his patience, and his methodical approach to each shot, the 39-year-old photographer continues to collect international awards, most recently being named Ocean Photographer of the Year 2025. This is also the year he published his third photography book, Aqua Obscura. It follows Surface and Turbulences, as well as a series of collectible prints. All are available at www.benthouard.com.

BEN THOUARD
–Was the idea of photographing from beneath the waves a sudden “eureka” moment, or the result of a long process?
–It came after all these years of my working in surf photography, which was my specialty. I photographed surfers in the most beautiful places on Earth until I arrived in Tahiti. I immediately fell in love with its islands and decided, without hesitation, to stay and work on its beaches, where I discovered a rare underwater world. Here, the waves crash over a coral reef far from the shore. The water is crystal clear, and the spectacle is simply breathtaking. In fact, I was so fascinated by it that I started spending more and more time underwater. Gradually, I’ll be moving away from traditional sports photography and devoting myself to a completely new world.
–Photographing while swimming in unpredictable waters is both dangerous and exciting. Of all your experiences, which one stands out the most?
–yes, it is a challenge every single day! You have to be ready in every way—physically and mentally. You also have to make sure you have the right equipment. You have to choose your lens and anticipate every camera setting because the moment is so fleeting that there’s no time to react. I’ve experienced many unforgettable moments, but I don’t think I’ll ever forget the first time I saw the vortex with the spiral-shaped bubbles forming beneath a wave. It was like science fiction to me, and it eventually became the central theme of my second book, Turbulences.

–From professional surf photography to artistic images without surfers, it seems that, although both are personal achievements, you now prefer photographing the ocean and waves themselves.
–Yes, indeed. I’ve gradually removed the surfer from the frame so that I could focus entirely on the beauty of nature. The transparency of the water, the way it interacts with light, its textures, its movement, all that power is wonderful! The surfers are still there, somewhere. I haven’t forgotten them. They provide a sense of scale; they move through this landscape, and they remain part of my world, but they are no longer my main subject. I’ve broadened my perspective to embrace the beauty of the ocean itself. And there is still so much more to show…
–What’s your secret to staying in top physical condition and being able to face what you call the relentless ocean?
–I stay active all year round. I surf, I swim, I fish, and I take lots of photographs. This routine keeps me fit. It’s essential for facing the waves at Teahupo’o.
–Does Aqua Obscura, the title of your third book, imply that the ocean has become your own camera obscura?
–Yes, exactly. The ocean has become my blue room, my camera obscura. All my inspiration comes from the ocean. All those hours I spend swimming and letting myself be carried by the movement of the water are like meditation. I observe, I discover, and I try to capture these magical moments.

The future of performance is never inherited. It is envisioned, engineered and relentlessly pursued. Technohull's next project embodies that philosophy through its most ambitious undertaking to date: a new-generation high-performance monohull conceived with a singular objective—to become the fastest monohull with outboard engines ever built. Inspired by the precision, aerodynamics and engineering philosophy of the European hyper car industry, the new model introduces an enclosed canopy that enhances both safety and aerodynamic efficiency while embracing Technohull's signature expertise in advanced hull design.

James Turrell's Skyspace demonstrates his lifelong fascination with light as a material and perception as his subject.
Both Turrell and Kapoor do not make art to be admired from a respectful distance. Instead, they create thresholds. Cross one, and the world you thought you understood — up, down, solid, empty, near, far — quietly comes undone. This summer, two new thresholds have appeared — one in Denmark, one in Finland — and neither asks to be merely visited. Both ask to be entered. At ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, something extraordinary has been carved into the earth and lifted toward the heavens. As Seen Below is James Turrell's hundredth Skyspace, and it may be his most transcendent yet. A dome sixteen metres high and forty metres across, folded into the museum's new wing like a secret kept just beneath the surface of the building. The journey there begins in darkness. Visitors descend through

a tunnel underground, walking blind before they are allowed to see. And then, all at once, the earth opens above them. A circular wound in the ceiling frames the sky, raw and unedited, the oldest artwork there is. Clouds drift across it like brushstrokes that refuse to dry. Turrell's own colours, programmed, patient, barely-there, slide across the dome's interior, so that dusk doesn't simply fall, it is composed. He has always understood something the rest of us forget: light does not fall onto art. Light is the art. It has no frame, no edge, no weight, and yet, standing beneath it, you feel its full and sudden gravity. Far to the north, in the hush of the Finnish forest, Anish Kapoor is conducting a different kind of vanishing act. At Serlachius, his exhibition builds slowly, deliberately, toward Ancestor, a sculpture so vast it seems to have been grown for the museum's largest room, rather than been made for it. Kapoor has revealed almost nothing about it in advance. He wanted it met without expectation. "It reads as being geological," he says of its surface, "the sense of the object having arrived in this space without any human intervention. There are very few signs of it being made. It's just there." Around it, the exhibition unfolds like a
slow descent. Sculptures coated in Vantablack, a material developed for space technology that absorbs almost all light, hang like black holes with no visible edge. Nearby, large paintings and concave mirrors return your own image to you: warped, doubled, unfamiliar. Kapoor's language is stranger than Turrell's, but it speaks to the same silence. Colour so deep it seems to have no floor. Surfaces so polished they erase themselves, folding the room into their own skin. A form that might be solid stone, or might be a hole torn straight through the world. He never tells you which. He only asks you to stand there, uncertain, and feel how uncertainty itself can be beautiful. Turrell opens a hole in the sky. Kapoor opens a hole in the room. Different worlds, same question. Neither man is chasing the future through spectacle or invention. They are chasing something older: the moment just before recognition, when the eye is still deciding what it's looking at. Long after the visitor walks back out into ordinary daylight, something lingers: the quiet suspicion that seeing was never as simple as opening your eyes.

FINE DINING
The heart of the Alchemist consists of a gigantic planetarium dome where guests dine surrounded by artful projections and stunning views, conjuring up, and enhancing moods and statements.
What if the restaurant of the future looked less like a dining room and more like a stage? A place where food is only one element in a story told through light, architecture, sound and emotion. At Alchemist in Copenhagen, that future has already taken shape. The vision has earned international acclaim, with Alchemist holding two Michelin stars since 2020, consistently ranked among Europe's finest restaurants and placed fifth on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2025. Conceived by chef Rasmus Munk, Alchemist is built around the philosophy of Holistic Cuisine: the belief that gastronomy should engage every sense and every thought. The experience unfolds over four to six hours through around fifty edible impressions.

Each course forms part of a carefully choreographed narrative, where the environment, the sound, the lighting and the performance become as important as the ingredients themselves. Its emotional centre is the Dome, a monumental planetarium beneath which every guest becomes part of the performance. The walls dissolve into vast digital landscapes. Jellyfish drift silently through oceans filled with plastic. The Earth appears from the silence of space. A giant human heart beats slowly overhead, its rhythm subtly calming the room. Reality gives way to imagination, and every projection reshapes the meaning of the course that follows.

Yet the greatest transformation happens on the plate. Munk's creations are never designed simply to impress, but to provoke curiosity, reflection and conversation. Themes such as sustainability, food waste, animal welfare and social inequality emerge naturally throughout the evening, proving that fine dining can nourish ideas as much as appetite. Between courses, guests wander through immersive installations and performance spaces before retreating to quiet lounges where the experience has time to settle. Every transition, has purpose. Every room becomes another chapter.
Alchemist ultimately suggests that the future of gastronomy will not be defined by more elaborate recipes or rarer ingredients, but by deeper human experiences. It is a place where technology serves emotion, where design gives shape to ideas, and where every dinner becomes something increasingly rare in modern life: an unforgettable journey that lingers long after the final bite.
