Winch Design and Frers Design reveal a sailing superyacht project
Winch Design and Frers Design unveiled Flowform, a brand new 35m sailing yacht concept, debuting on the opening day of the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show. The concept was brought to life through an immersive visual experience presented by Winch Design in the show’s renowned Design & Innovation Hub.
According to the designers' statement, the Flowform sailing yacht concept captures the seamless rhythm of nature, where light, water, and air move together in harmony. Inspired by nature’s most vital elements, she balances high performance with seaworthiness, while offering generous interior volumes that provide both comfort and privacy.
The project brings together Winch Design for the interiors and Frers Design for the naval architecture. Flowform is conceived as a high-performance cruising yacht with accommodation for eight guests plus five crew and a full-beam tender garage.
The exterior of Flowform is shaped by dynamic forms in white, teak, and glass, uniting timeless sailing elegance with a forward-looking vision defined by modern technology and sustainability. The transparent deckhouse is a signature feature, acting as a skylight and illuminating the beautifully crafted interiors below.
The yacht’s interior is an ode to the three natural elements of sailing: the flow of water, the strength of the wind, and the movement of light. This inspiration is reflected throughout in its forms, textures, and materials. Spaces are sculpted by curved lines that channel the movement of wind. Subtle wave motifs are woven into finishes, while soft metallic details evoke shimmering sunlight. A bright, natural palette combines warm timbers such as walnut, koto, and bleached oak, enriched by dark accents, tactile fabrics, and fine leather detailing.
The salon is bathed in natural light through glass skylights, while a distinctive ergonomic stepped mast feature adds architectural depth. The study works as a transitional retreat into the owner’s suite, where timber marquetry waves lead guests through the space, adorned by liquid metal accents.
The lower deck areas are infused with the warm tones and textures of golden sands and sun-dappled forest floors, creating a serene and grounding atmosphere. On the main deck, tranquil blue tones echo the ocean's expanse and endless horizons.
A striking central staircase inspired by trees elegantly spirals upwards, evoking the lush rainforests of the Pacific islands.
