Changing tack: Laser sailboat, by Marian Bantjes and Laser Performance

Wallpaper* wanted a boat, and if we couldn’t have a gin palace, it had to be a design classic. We called on ocean-loving designer and regular Wallpaper* contributor Marian Bantjes to produce plans for a graphically enhanced Case class dinghy, and she delivered a stunning design that references the cubist patterns of the First and Second World War ‘dazzle’ naval camouflage.
A limited edition of 12 of these works of art are available to order for £10,000.
