Issue 62

Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

The Firmship 42

What boating was always meant to be – Studio Job and Willem Nieland have
created a classic boat with unobtrusive, at times humorous, design touches.

There have been some pretty ridiculous yachts around lately, things so far removed from the joy of the sea that they enter a realm of science fiction, rather than anything attainable.

So it’s nice to see a boat that echoes traditional seafaring designs. This 42-footer – a collaboration between Belgium-based designers Studio Job and boat designer Willem Nieland – features a palette of grey and timber.

Despite presenting quite a simple aesthetic, there are touches throughout the boat which give personality and reveal the playful nature associated with Studio Job. From the upholstery of the seating inside – with iconic symbols of boating such as skulls and crossbones, anchors and Moby Dick – to a beautiful stained glass window. Their craftsmanship is also evident in the beautiful door handles and bronze bell.

The Firmship 42 can be yours for € 329,000 – finally, a boat that costs less than an average house.
