NUVOLARI & LENARD
|
The great names of international yachting engage the celebrated and renowned
talents of design whose unmistakable creative flair is capable of expressing the
traditions of each individual yard. High specialisation in the sector has led to
the separation of exterior and interior designers, the latter with skills that
allow them to respect both the needs of each individual customer and the
technical and architectonic aspects of every epoch and trend. The big name
brands almost always choose one designer for the interior and another for the
exterior, since there are few studios that offer a complete service. One of
these few has already made a name for itself with projects much appreciated in
both the superyacht and the smaller boat sector. The studio was founded in
Venice in 1989 and is run by Carlo Nuvolari-Duodo and Dan Lenard, the former an
engineer and the latter a designer, who over the last few years have created
some of the most interesting projects. Nuvolari & Lenard, which recently opened
a new design centre in Scorzè, Venice, is able to offer a complete range
of services, from the concept of layouts to exterior design and interior
décor, as well as marine architecture and engineering. Moreover, in the
recent past the duo has also assumed the role of representing a number of
demanding owners and working in a consultancy capacity on some interesting
projects. In spite of their youth - when they set up the studio Carlo Nuvolari
was 28 and Dan Lenard only 21 - they have gained the confidence of leading
yards. One of their strong points is an ability for continual renewal,
demonstrating versatility and operational flexibility. This can be seen by their
presence on very different markets, having collaborated with some of the most
celebrated names in world yachting, such as CRN, Codecasa and Perini Navi in
Italy, Oceanco in Northern Europe and Palmer Johnson in the United States. For
the Ferretti Group's CRN yard, Nuvolari & Lenard developed a 43 metre steel
platform and another of 46 metres, from which "Magnifica", "Magnifica2" and
"Saramour" came into being. For "Magnifica" they designed everything down to the
smallest details, from the preliminary concept to the graphics of the logo.
Other demonstrations of the duo's versatility are: Perini Navi's "Felicita
West", an imposing 64 metre ketch with retro interiors; Codecasa's minimalist
design "Mariù" and the Palmer Johnson 120', a fast cruiser with
aggressive lines but classic English style interior decor. These are only a few
names from the long list of yachts Nuvolari & Lenard have designed since 1989. A
list which will soon include an 82 metre Oceanco, the biggest motoryacht the
Studio has tackled to date. Building will probably begin in 2007.
