- Inspiration
- The design draws inspiration from both architectural and natural elements. Architecturally, Scandinavian culture played a significant role, with the distinct lines of Viking ships, particularly the details found in their helmets, serving as the primary source of inspiration. This cultural influence is evident throughout the project.
- Research

Today, echoes of this venerable civilization reverberate throughout the coastal landscapes of Scandinavia and beyond.

- Operation and Interaction
- The yacht glides through the water with the help of a shaft propeller and is equipped with two electric motors. With a focus on environmental consciousness, it prioritizes comfort over high-speed performance. Designed to offer a serene and luxurious cruising experience, it promises quiet operation and unparalleled comfort.
