EM414 - Eames Inspired Maritime

Measuring 40ft long, EM414 is a weekend launch designed to comfortably sleep two and entertain up to six people. It is inspired by the design aesthetic of Charles and Ray Eames, primarily recognising form and the ambitious use of plywood to achieve complex surfaces. 

This was completed as part of a 4th year boat design paper at Massey University Wellington. Within the design process, several media were used to inform and shape the concept including initial moodboards, full scale spatial mock-ups, sketching, CAD modelling and hard-modelling.

Project completed with: Chris Mason, Rasmus Fanemel, Sam McCafferty
