Jetsetera: How did you get started designing Mega Yachts?
Theodoros: Since I am driven by feeling and not numbers i cannot say that i went straight to my drafting board and PC to get a design equal to all others.Emotion is what guides me and what i do is to give form into feelings and ideas,solid ideas as i say.So to get the idea was the hard part…to get it done was easy.
Jetsetera: How long did it take to design the Princess Renee Concept?
Theodoros: The project started on February 2008 and was released on June 2010.
Jetsetera: What inspires you?
Theodoros: I am inspired by nature and power,feelings and emotions. When i design i make something Surreal and then i am working on it to make it functionable and doable.
Jetsetera: Being a yacht designer requires you to be one part visionary, one part artist, one part architect. Which of these do you side with the most?
Theodoros:
I would say that i try to keep the balance between all those i give 50% to vision and art and 50% to architecture.it has to be beautiful and inspired but also has to perform.
