NEW ROOM DEDICATED TO THE BOAT LE VIRTUELLE

"I reduced and reduced further until I created a magical drawing, a sort of silver rocket where the dream appears. I wanted Le Virtuelle to feel like an old wooden yacht, but that by approaching it, you realize it's actually carbon fiber marquetry, red, brown, tobacco, looking exactly like wood. " Ph.S

The Musée d’histoire maritime de la Citadelle in St Tropez is hosting a new room dedicated to Le Virtuelle. Designed in 1995 by Philippe Starck, the sailboat adopts a minimalist and elegant form and leaves the Tencara shipyards in Venice in 1999, the year of its launch.
