#09 / 2019 TF More features Heesen Interiors has been cre- ating luxury yacht furniture for over 30 years. The new site brings a four-fold increase in Heesen’s interior production area. And all so that exquisite furniture for yachts, which are becoming larger, is deliv- ered on time. Heesen Yachts is one of the few shipyards in the world that has its own full workforce of cabinetmakers, upholsters, joiners, polishers, painters and draftsmen. At the yacht exhibition in Monaco, which this year will be held from September 25- 28, visitors will have the won- derful opportunity to see and assess the work of the Heesen Yachts Interiors division. The sh ipy a r d w i l l pr e sent it s 55-meter yacht Vida for the first time to the general pub- lic. Its interiors were painted by B Design. The Heesen Inte- riors division was kept busy throughout the process, as at the request of the yacht own- er, for example, original wine cabinets were installed in the main cabin around the en- trance archway. The ow ner of V ida is a highly experienced yachts- man and enthusiastic fisher- man from the USA. At his re- quest, almost all the interior furniture was custom-made, and the yacht was custom- ized to suit his active fishing lifestyle and to act as a base for his sports fishing fleet of smaller vessels to refuel and replenish stocks. We look forward to visit- ing the Vida during the Mo- naco Yacht Show. S h i pya rd H e e s e n Ya c h t s h a s m o re n e ws .
