I spoke with Howard Sansome, ARYMA’s owner, just after he returned from the Royal Van Lent shipyards in Amsterdam, where the new yacht “Lady Christine IV” is currently docked while the interiors, designed and created by Rodney Black Design Studios, are being completed by Royal Van Lent and Feadship’s joinery company Van der Loo.

“We recently completed a project for a client’s superyacht. I’ve just been supervising the final installation of several large marquetry panels.” Explained Howard, “A high level of detail was the brief from the client. There are architectural, iconic buildings that everyone will recognize and just say – what, are you kidding me – that’s made of wood?”

“Completing this set of large scale marquetry panels to such a high standard is an incredible achievement given the level of detail our client required. We are immensely proud of the part we have played in delivering this vision.”
