Superyacht Wedge Too
Wedge Too is a creation of the famous French designer Philippe Starck. She was the
largest Feadship built at time of her launch. Her superstructures comprise harmonious
round forms and high windows with wood surrounds.
The interior decoration will surprise
those unaccustomed to Starck's style, as habitually, the designer mixes styles and
periods. Some parts are simply beautiful, like the large lounge and owner's bedroom.
Other parts suffer from a certain coldness, like the dining room...
The installation
is impressive. The lower deck includes two garages for the tenders with an access
towards the bathing platform in the stern, four guest staterooms (aft), the engine
room (to the center) and crew quarters (forward).
The first deck accommodates the
large lounge (aft), a section containing staircases, lifts, galley (to the center),
the dining room and three other guest staterooms (forward).
The second deck is completely
dedicated for use by the owner with a lounge (aft), the "staircases and lifts" area
(to the center), a guest stateroom to starboard, the owner's dressing room to port,
and the owner's panoramic suite (forward). The third deck accommodates a panoramic
lounge (aft), the "staircases and lifts" area (to the center), the captain's stateroom
and the pilothouse (forward).
The sundeck accommodates a splendid Jacuzzi surrounded
by a circular solarium protected by a roof.
Dethroned as the largest Feadship ever
built, Wedge Too will remain forever a Starck, without compromise : some will love
her, some will hate her!
