FIT-OUTS TO MAKE YOU GO OOOH AHHHH

This entry is in awe and wonder of the work of Simon Birtwistle. You have no idea how much I'd like to be one of his clients.

A favourite boat of mine is "Leviathan", a BCN butty that I have previously written about. Maybe these few pics may remind you.

Looking aft - Galley - Office - Engine Room & Bathroom (behind door)
Remember now ?? Tasty huh !

This fit-out is some of the fine work of Simon Birtwistle.

And here are a couple more ...

I like Leviathan from top to tail. His timber ergonomic / organic forms really do it for me. Though it's not the whole of the next boat, 'Pilgrim' that appeals to me, more so some of the parts. Check out the back door and hatch ...


I suppose it's not bad for a seat

These pics are like 'boat porn' ... here are a few shots of a widebeam with the Simon Birtwistle touch.

Ohhh yesss
What a way to wake up
The creature comforts
Being a commission by a client, Simon's flair is more restrained here. Still nice though, but not quite as appealing as his other work. Here is a link to his website once again.

Art, form and function of this calibre is rare ... and obviously Simon Birtwistle is a man who can deliver it.

He sells a premium product ... so if one of my art union tickets comes good ... I'll be in touch.

We are not worthy !!!  We are not worthy !!!
