Yacht Guilty, port of Livorno

The naval architect is Arrabito Naval Architects and the designer is Ivana Porfiri of Porfiristudio. The eye-catching camouflage design is by Jeff Koons and reminds us of the dazzle camouflage used in World War I.

"Eye catching" is a good way to describe this. I like the colors.

VP, this is surely the most interesting paint job I can remember seeing.

The camoulflage on the yacht is most unusual and quite remarkable.

I think the name should be "Look at Me!

I remember the dazzle effect examined in an exhibit here on camouflage at the War Museum.

Quite a name for a yacht!

Oi, I get dizzy just looking at it! How strange!

Rob Siemann said...

Anyway, just looking at it gives me a headache

This is unique, VP, never seen such a painting on a boat.

This is a bit mind boggling VP.. isn't it amazing how the configuration of shape and colour really do confuse the eye. I bet there are a lot of confused fish out there.. they'd be like.. 'What the....' :)

So good! Great shots VP.

Good Lord, what that must have cost. Just to fill it up fuel would probably be about $75,000! Love the design (camouflage) - it really works ... I found it hard to find the lines of the ship. But I wonder why it was named "Guilty." A guilty pleasure, perhaps? Guilty for having so much when so many have so little?

Wow - that is so unique!

Gunn said...

Unique art!
I (think) I like it:)

It may be good camouflage out at sea but in port it's an eye catcher for sure!
