Designer: WINCH DESIGN
When Winch Design was selected to design the bespoke interiors for the 67m M/Y Aurora Borealis, its award-winning team took inspiration from the skies above and the surrounding beautiful natural world.
Soft, organic textures were chosen to complement her flowing interior spaces illuminated by custom art deco inspired lighting produced by bespoke lighting designer and manufacturer Dernier & Hamlyn.
Greig Jolly Associate at Winch Design who project managed commented: “We wanted to work with Dernier & Hamlyn because of their proven track record in creating bespoke lighting of the highest quality that perfectly complements our designs. Their technical ability is unrivalled, and we only want to work with the best, to make our clients’ dreams come true.”
While beautiful to look at, much of the lighting for M/Y Aurora Borealis raised huge engineering challenges for our team to achieve the required aesthetic and lighting levels and also ensure it is sufficiently robustly fixed for seaworthiness, without any of the fixings being visible.
Requiring expert handling with unique engineering challenges created by specialist craftsmen and artisans, the lighting has been made using the most sumptuous materials including gold plated brass, shagreen leather, silk, timber veneer, alabaster and straw marquetry. Dernier & Hamlyn produced light art for numerous areas including a 2m diameter pendant in the main saloon, a 1.1m diameter pendant in the upper sky lounge and 1.7m floor lamps in the master bedroom amongst many other pieces.
