moonstone’s dramatic hull lights blend into the horizon

during the dubai international boat show 2016 ‘Moonstone’, from van geest design alongside temeloy advanced lighting design and oceanco, illuminated the event. we covered the technical specifications in detail in our previous article at the time.

‘Moonstone’ is not just another yacht but an innovating project where the technology is based on instantly recognizable influences: designed to suit the state of natural beauty and even evolve in the hours after sunset. who does not know the anesthetic effect of the twinkling water on a sunny day or the hypnotic patterns created in the reflection of a diamond? at night the glistening reflections are replicated by van geest design + temeloy advanced lighting’s ‘Moonstone’ to play with its surroundings.

that is not all that the vibrant vessel has to offer. the full color overheads are extremely versatile, creating never experienced atmospheres onboard. moods and ambiences can be set by the owner by the touch of a finger on phone or tablet. the three companies claim these technologies have been thoroughly tested before integrating them in the build package. It is not a mere design aesthetic. this is an oceanco project which can be built, today.

with the research and developments at hand, the teams now hold the view that it is time to present the complete ‘Moonstone’ project. initially developed with white light facets, the challenge evolved to develop an even lit surface right to the triangular point and then integrating these surfaces on either sides of the hull. the logical discovered solution was for ‘Moonstone’ to be color. the powerful color impact is inherent for people to have an ongoing experience with the yacht as a medium. it can be video art; a series of images and light surfaces; plain colors to under water scenes;  prominent kaleidoscopes to camouflaged disguises – the possibilities are endless on board and from ashore.
