London-based art dealer Kenny Schachter has commissioned renowned designer Zaha Hadid to create the Z-Boat, a limited-edition luxury motorboat. Only 12 boats will be produced, each measuring 8 meters in length with an asymmetric fiberglass body available in multiple colors.
Built by Shoreteam in France, the Z-Boat is priced at €375,000 (approximately $460,000 USD). The first seaworthy vessel is scheduled for delivery in spring 2013.
Design Statement:
“The asymmetrical design is sculptural in appearance while practically affording more seating accommodations. In a sense, the bespoke boat is as much a work of art as a Cisitalia sports car in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The idea is to think of vessels and vehicles as highly individualistic expressions of art, architecture and design reflecting the edge of what is possible using the most advanced means, including materials, software systems and methods of fabrication.”
