Bringing in his expertise in concept designing to speedboats Marc Newson has reinterpreted the Riva speedboats to create Aquariva by Marc Newson. To be launched this month, the Aquariva is a limited edition with only 22 units to be sold though Gagosian Gallery. Newson worked with Riva's design team Officina Italiana Design to work his first nautical project. Giving the classic Aquariva, a modern twist Newson worked with unique materials like the wood -like textile based laminate to do up the boat's deck area and instrument panel. This gives the boat a very organic feel, yet strength.
