HERMÈS PARIS x WALLY present THE WHY 58 YACHT

Posted on September 28, 2009 by

One of the most amazing examples of design/architecture(if you want to call it that) that i’ve ever seen…real talk

“WHY is the result of the joint-venture signed in June 2008 between Hermès and Wally, to develop a new type of motor yacht redefining the art of living on the sea. The iconic Parisian house and the iconic Monaco yacht brand formed an equal partnership whereby each company is fully involved in all aspects of the conception and design of each project. Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Artistic Director of Hermès says : ‘When we met, in autumn 2007, Luca Bassani Antivari, President of Wally had thought about asking Hermès to accessorise the interior of one of his boats. I was impressed by the daring of his projects. My instinct was to get on board with him and go and seek out new territories in yacht design, but I had no interest in speed.’ Luca Bassani Antivari explains: ‘What I’ve always liked about Hermès, aside from its intrinsic quality, is its audacity and radicalism; its desire to go beyond trends, to make no compromises and to maintain the authenticity of the house. Wally shares the same values, Hermès-on-Land, Wally-on-Sea‹: inevitably our paths had to cross.’ “
