Dakis Joannou, a Greek industrial mogul from Cyprus, is also one of the leading contemporary art collectors in Europe, which explains his decision to make an artwork out of his newest mega-yacht, by commissioning Jeff Koons and Italian yacht designer Ivana Porfiri to design the ship. From this fruitful collaboration, a luxurious boat named Guilty emerged, measuring 35 meters in length, and being priceless in artistic value. This project represents the largest Koons’ endeavor so far and a serious step forward in contemporary yacht design.

Owner Dakis Joannou arranged a fantastic collaboration between superstar American artist Jeff Koons and Italian yacht designer Ivana Porfiri. Although the colorful exterior brings to mind the Pop paintings of Roy Lichtenstein, Guilty’ s bold geometric designs–alternating yellow rhombuses, pink triangles and blue polygons–were actually inspired by British naval camouflage from World War I.

Joannou, one of the world’s most important contemporary art collectors, what matters most about Guilty is that it provokes a reaction. “We did what we wanted; style was irrelevant,” he says of his maritime masterpiece. “We designed a boat in an antistyle method. We have no rules, no programs, no plans.” Porfiri worked with him to get every element of functionality in place before moving on to Koons’ kaleidoscope design.

Razzle Dazzle, as the exterior pattern is called, “was a technique used during World War I as a camouflage not to conceal an object but to confuse the viewer,” Koons explains. “The process was extremely complex,” Joannou adds, noting that Guilty was painted by hand. “Ivana sent the design to Jeff, and he did some 3-D designing in his studio. I did not interfere at all.”

Ivana Porfiri

Ivana Porfiri is a designer from Milan, Italy. She was involved in aesthetic development of several private homes worldwide, a wine cellar in Italy, various office buildings, product design and design of yachts and floating vessels – 14 yachts and one ship bear her signature. She believes that it is important to be active in more than one specialized field, in order to nurture creativity as well as enable opportunities and different working experiences.
