Henrik Fisker is Now Designing Superyachts
Fisker Automotive may not have succeeded, but Henrik Fisker isn’t struggling to find work.
While the founder of Henrik Fisker Design is set to debut his latest automotive project called The Force 1, in January, he has also teamed up with Benetti to create a series of 164-feet superyacht concepts. The collaboration is focused on a new 50-meter yacht with naval architecture by Benetti and will be designed in California and built at the Benetti facilities in Livorno, Italy.
The concept will combine the new platform developed by global superyacht builder Benetti with Fisker’s sporty exterior and interior designs. The yacht’s exterior will feature a dramatic body with lightweight carbon fiber and other exotic materials. It will also feature optimized ocean views from all major cabins and use of reclaimed wood, integrated solar panels and optional hybrid power.
