Cruise & Ferry Interiors 2020

1 0 8 Amy Parker, head of FF&E “The furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) side of the design process is a collaboration with the client that represents their branding, their unique selling point and their heart. We take time to get to know our clients’ demographic; the end results create the tactile, inviting and unique environments that help provide passengers truly memorable experiences. Whilst we evolve with these changing times, and adapt along with our client’s requirements, our core values in our approach to FF&E remain.” INTERV IEW Mike Abbott, associate designer “We’ve recently had the opportunity to design the Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in The Bahamas. We used eclectic furniture, artwork and props to add character and to bring a balance of bohemian and European influences. The island has been transformed to create a biodiverse and sustainable environment, contributing to the preservation of the world’s oceans and coral reefs. During installation we were faced with many challenges. Whether it was strong winds stopping our daily commute from neighbouring Bimini, or flash downpours during installation, each unexpected event only added to what was a truly one-off experience.”
