A fresh interior perspective
To conceptualise Slice's interior, Feadship
turned to Dutch designer Marco van
Ham and asked him to avoid teak entirely.
Instead, Van Ham and his team brought in a
palette of backlit marbles and onyx, surfaces
formed of liquid metals, silver leaf, shagreen,
straw marquetry and even pyrite with
juxtapositions of shiny and matte surfaces.
Warm neutral fabrics evoke a spirit of calm
relaxation. Undulating lines inform the floors
and most of the furniture reflects organic
shapes and is kept low to avoid obscuring
views. What you won't find on the concept
for Slice's interior are squared off doors and
box-like rooms.
Watertight forward entrance
With Slice, Feadship wanted a yacht that
specifically addressed a recurring owner
request: an open and private aft pool and
sundecks with sea views and out of sight of
passers-by and deliverymen while moored
in port. Slice delivers on this with a fully
engineered passerelle and watertight forward
entrance so it can be moored bow-in. At
the touch of a button, a full-height section
of the stem at main deck level hinges open
and a passerelle deploys, guests make a
short walk from the quay, disappear into
the privacy and security of the interior and
arrive first a welcome area forward of the
yacht's tender bays.
