Claydon Reeves and Dysktra Naval Architects have worked together on the 46m sailing yacht Exo. Designed to add a new element to the experience of performance cruising, the Exo superyacht provides magnificent views of the external as well as underwater environments.

Interior Design
The concept is perhaps best explored and udnerstood from inside the Exo yacht where one can fully appreciate the implications of the new design approach. The main objective with this yacht was to allow fat greater amounts of light into the interior and to provide ground breaking views of the passing environments. The carbon chassis is apparent internally and the organic mullions that separate the massive glass panels imbue the interior with the sensation of being contained within the ribcage of a large aquatic creature. To futher emphasise this feeling, the interior architecture of the main saloon suggests being partially separated from the hull structure, giving the impression of a soft cocoon floating within a rigid structure. The seating and furniture have been designed with an integrated philosophy of organic forms and subtle level changes delineate the different areas.
Interior aboard EXO superyacht
The material pallet is a combination of strong technical carbon fibre and the softness of natural woods, wools and silks bathed in subtle lighting that accentuates the key design elements.
