The new Firmship 42 is a classic boat with a modern look. Centuries-old nautical traditions have been renewed by Studio Job with artistic design - without sacrificing functional comfort. Firmship is more than a sturdy boat, it is a floating work of art.
DESIGN ON A PEDESTAL
But how do you get people interested in a boat who may not even know they want one? "By making the Firmship more than just a boat. It is also a floating work of art", Vissers says. Casper Vissers is the founder of Firmship and co-founded Moooi and Revised. The design of the sturdy steel hull was made by naval architect Willem Nieland. Job Smeets (1970), working under the name Studio Job, has achieved worldwide fame with refined mostly brass art objects that are made with tremendous artisan skills, dedication and patience.
QUIET LUXURY
Despite its sturdy functionality and artful aesthetics, no concessions have been made in terms of comfort. "The Firmship could be a great alternative to a holiday home," says Vissers. "With all the additional benefits Inside the hut you experience a timeless nautical atmosphere. It is the warm teak and the silent light grey basis of all materials which makes this hut unique, peaceful and timeless.
Dream Boat
The Firmship 42 is available in two different versions. Steel with teak paneling and a strong diesel engine, but also in a sustainable version made of aluminum, bamboo wood paneling and an electrically powered engine. The sustainable version is as beautiful as the traditional version.
The upholstery of the bench has prints of anchors, Moby Dick, ship rats or a sextant.
Studio Job likes to make fun of things as they are. “We don't just want to design a boat, we want to tell a story", explains Smeets. Hence the grey. Because grey is also synonymous with old and wise,
distinguished too. In one word: timeless. The Firmship is the archetype of the cabin boat. This boat is not only functional, it also looks functional. People should still like it fifty years from now."
