The Unveiling of Oceanco’s Aeolus
The Dubai International Boat Show marked the stage for Oceanco to present a groundbreaking yacht design, Aeolus. This vessel, symbolizing Oceanco’s NXT initiative, resonates with the evolving outlooks on environmental sustainability and lifestyle.
Exterior and Interior Designs
Giles Taylor crafts the exterior, while Njord by Bergman Design House is responsible for the interior of Aeolus. This collaboration illustrates a new epoch for water residences, showcasing the beauty of future sustainability in both technical capacity and onboard materials.
Aeolus: A Personal Haven
Aeolus, named after the Greek god of wind, is designed to leave a transformative impression on its inhabitants. This floating haven, effortlessly molded by the wind, embodies equilibrium and depth. Its design mirrors our modern ways of relaxation, connection, and work, effortlessly shifting between locations and lifestyle modes.
Beautiful Balance
Aeolus is situated at the intersection of majestic beauty and structural efficiency, achieving an interesting balance between feminine curves and masculine presence. Her design draws inspiration from the J Class sailing yachts of the past century, showcasing a perfect harmony between the ocean and wind power.
Design Philosophy of Aeolus
According to Taylor, Aeolus’s design sculpture is harmonious and derived from the function and flow imagined for her future owner. She isn’t excessively feminine as there’s a masculine quality to her bold, straightforward architecture. This unique aesthetic sets Aeolus apart.
Yachting’s Evolution
Oceanco NXT represents a collaborative dedication to the future, bringing together experts from various industries to offer yacht owners a more sustainable and respectful way of living with the oceans.
“The collaboration and innovation resulting in the Aeolus design has been remarkable. As our newest Oceanco NXT design, she is an example of how we envisage the evolution of yachting, from the perspectives of both her design and technology. To build the yachts of tomorrow, we need to leave behind the preconceptions of yesterday. With Aeolus, I think we have achieved that.”
