GROOVY STUFF BY OTHER DESIGNERS - An occasional series

I read about the new incarnation of the Riva Aquarama by Marc Newson in How To Spend It. Fabulous. An intelligent take on the classic, and much-loved, mahogany original. Really smart use of materials and textures - not least the matt aluminium (non) brightwork. I guess at its best gliding around Lake Como but very distinguished anywhere. Now thinking of Owners to persuade.....

I'm interested in the concept of it being available only through an art gallery - The Gagosian Gallery. We haven't tried that yet, with a yacht or a piece of furniture.

Thanks to the team at Luchford APM for kindly supplying us with images.
