A lot goes into making what some might consider a simple deck seating area. Here at Eclipse, we create style, comfort and functionality in all our soft furnishings.
When it comes to seating areas it’s easy to remember bad or uncomfortable ones, so our goal is to make every sun pad, deck cushion, interior sofa or Captain’s chair a satisfying, luxurious and relaxing experience whilst on board.
In this recent refit, the sun pad is awkwardly close to the edge of the superyacht. The glass barrier offers some protection but not the peace of mind and certainly doesn’t promote a feeling of relaxation. No owner or charter guest wants to be worried about falling overboard whilst sipping on a cocktail or sunbathing in the middle of the Caribbean Sea.
Our solution was to add an integrated, padded backrest serving as a safety barrier from the glass edge and giving guests some additional privacy. This also allowed the sun pad to be used in a number of different ways so guests could relax and lounge in style, safety and comfort.
Resolving pillow problems
Our job is to make yacht designers’ concepts a reality by visualizing them with the aid of 3D computer software and them manufacturing them with 100% accuracy. It’s these 3D visuals which often help in the final decision-making of many yacht refit design upgrades. The example below is a sketch we had from the designer for pillows with dimensions that didn’t work for the space.
We prepared a comparison of what was requested versus what was feasibly possible.
After some tweaks and amendments, a final layout was resolved that pleased everyone.
Our team of artisans adore jobs like this. We are very happy to work with a designer or crew specification, but also love to make suggestions when appropriate that we think will enhance the yacht space we are working on.
The visuals we provide using our 3D digitizing software lets everyone involved see the end result, and this often encourages further creativity in the design when we help to show what is possible.
We are happy to digitize your yacht at any time and many of our clients get this done when they are in or near Fort Lauderdale during a quieter week. Your digital file is then kept secure until you are ready to plan or action your next refit, and we can work directly from the 3D file without needing additional visits to the yacht.
This means you can be in any refit yard, anywhere in the world and we can design, create and deliver perfect furnishings to you at the most convenient time for your team.
