Cruise & Ferry Review - Autumn/Winter 2024

161 Tihany Design For a design to retain its relevance over time, it must be based on cultural references and create emotional connections for those using the space. Strong storytelling that delves into meaningful references is essential for achieving a timeless result. A timeless design balances appreciation across various cultures by distilling cultural elements to their essence and making them universally understandable. Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit exemplify such strong designs. Their lasting appeal stems from the inception of the idea and the inspiration behind the aesthetic, ensuring their timelessness. YSA Design Timeless design endures because its functionality and aesthetic appeal outlast the whims of fashion. Distinguished by simplicity, clean lines, high quality and craftsmanship, timeless designs serve practicality, harmony and versatility, and favour understated elegance and cultural neutrality over ostentation and stereotyping. Conceived by YSA Design, Hudson’s restaurant on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Prima embodies timeless design. A venue with a unique personality for a first-in-class vessel, Hudson’s combines the flair of the modern, luxury dining experience with an enduring low-key elegance. Strong in concept, clear in vision and executed with excellence, Hudson’s upmarket appeal will last for years to come. Tomas Tillberg Design Passenger ship operators are increasingly favouring interior designs that emphasise timelessness over fleeting contemporary trends. They seek longterm value in their investments while continuing to follow formal design principles. While there is still room for new ideas and innovation, the focus is on achieving lasting appeal. This approach is driven by astute owners who demand enduring payoffs for their interior expenditures. Our designs, such as onboard the Aurora Expeditions’ ship Douglas Mawson, demonstrate the insights of our designers and showcase products that adhere to a timeless design philosophy, balancing tradition and innovation to create spaces that remain relevant and elegant over time.
