London studio Bannenberg & Rowell reinterprets a legacy design for one of the world\u2019s largest private vessels<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The story of Renaissance, <\/em>one of the largest private yachts in the world, dates from what Dickie Bannenberg calls \u201cthe last century.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

To put a finer point on it, Bannenberg, one half of London based yacht design firm Bannenberg & Rowell, is referring to the conversations his late father, Jon, founder of Bannenberg Designs and the mastermind behind some of the world\u2019s finest yachts (including the QE2), started decades ago with the ship\u2019s owners. \u201cOur client still has the drawings of the boat my dad prepared all those years ago,\u201d says Bannenberg. \u201cThey were an inspiration for a \u2018someday\u2019 boat.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Someday turned out to be 2023, when the 112-meter Renaissance was delivered from its shipyard in Spain. \u201cIt is considerably larger than the design my dad did, which meant we were working with enormous volumes,\u201d says Bannenberg, who today oversees the design studio alongside creative director Simon Rowell. \u201cThe challenge was to approach this seemingly unlimited space smartly to avoid those cruise ship vibes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

In the hands of Bannenberg & Rowell, Renaissance\u2019s 74,000 gross registered tons\u2014that\u2019s roughly 740,000 cubic feet\u2014manage to feel personal, familial, and in the case of the 20-seat jazz bar, downright intimate. Adding to the difficult task was the yacht\u2019s dual purpose: It had to be designed for client enjoyment as well as private charters. \u201cIt is perhaps the most unusual brief we\u2019ve ever worked with,\u201d says Bannenberg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The clients\u2019 extended family is not large, so the goal was to avoid cavernous cubes that can feel lonely and cold. \u201cIt had to be a completely personal boat but also accommodate 36 people. And when those people leave, it has to feel like home again,\u201d says Bannenberg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

The designers had an excellent resource in their clients, who had chartered yachts dozens of times in the past. They preferred eating in smaller spaces and placed a premium on wellness. And for charter clients? A workout room was key. \u201cI think the gym on Renaissance is the largest one afloat,\u201d says Rowell. A pizza oven, cinema, multiple plunge pools, and an extensive array of options for water sports are just a few of the amenities on board. \u201cThe idea was that large numbers of people would never really exhaust the facilities,\u201d says Bannenberg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Among the designers\u2019 clever solutions are the double-height main salon\u2014a rarity on a yacht\u2014and a bridge, or spacious mezzanine filled with sofas and chairs, that floats above it, serving as another, more intimate gathering place. Indeed, furnishing such large spaces required custom pieces, including circular sofas by Sutherland as well as custom teak and stainless-steel furniture by the brand situated throughout the yacht. Bannenberg & Rowell, in fact, created a capsule collection of fabrics for Perennials to upholster its bespoke designs and a Sutherland collection called Oceana. \u201cMuch of the boat is indoor-outdoor and these fabrics and furnishings are perfect for their multipurpose nature,\u201d says Bannenberg. \u201cThey\u2019re robust yet work incredibly well in a domestic interior.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

The connection to Sutherland is just one more aspect of the project that can trace its ties back to Jon Bannenberg. \u201cWe unearthed some correspondence between my dad and Sutherland, and then we started a conversation with the company about a decade ago,\u201d says Bannenberg. Today, the studio\u2019s range of furnishings and fabrics is a vital part of the brand story with a sentimental nod to Bannenberg\u2019s dad and his own beloved yacht, Oceana.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":143504,"template":"","categories":[3477,1139,1140,1003],"tags":[3468],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nNew Wave | Perennials and
