Adam D Tihany to lead the creative team
VALENCIA, Calif., Oct. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Luxury cruise
company, Cunard is proud to announce that world-renowned designer,
Adam D. Tihany has been appointed Creative Director of its upcoming
new ship.
Tihany will oversee the entire interior design process of the
much-anticipated, but still unnamed ship, which will join the
Cunard fleet in 2022.
Widely regarded as one of the world's most talented designers,
Tihany has made his name creating beautiful spaces for luxurious
and iconic hotels, restaurants and resorts across the globe,
including The Beverly Hills Hotel, Belmond Hotel Cipriani and The
Oberoi New Delhi.
"The name Cunard is obviously magical and I'm very excited to be
involved in this project," Tihany said. "If you look at the history
of Cunard, it has always been a forward-looking brand. It has a
classic image but actually each ship has been innovative for its
period. We want to continue this tradition and move the brand
forward with the creation of this exciting and spectacularly
beautiful new ship."
Work is now ongoing and Tihany promises plenty of surprises:
"Guests can expect a much lighter, contemporary feel, but crucially
it will still feel like a Cunard ship and Cunard's loyal guests
will feel very at home. The new ship will celebrate Cunard's
British heritage but with a whisper, not a shout. Everything a
guest expects to see on a Cunard ship will be there, but in a
different way to the other three."
Tihany has led the way in restaurant design, creating signature
restaurant interiors for such culinary stars as Thomas Keller and Heston
Blumenthal. He and his expert team of designers are
currently working on plans for the new ship's dining areas.
Design work is well underway in preparation for construction at
the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy.
The ship, Cunard's first new-build for 12 years, will be the
249th vessel to sail under the Cunard flag and when she joins
Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen
Elizabeth in the Cunard fleet, the luxury cruise brand will
have four ships in service for the first time since 1988.
"On behalf of Cunard, we are extremely excited for Adam Tihany
to be leading the creative design of our newest ship," said
Josh Leibowitz, Senior Vice
President, Cunard North America.
"Cunard's 249th ship will continue to innovate and
define luxury at sea while nodding to the company's storied
history. Adam has been a friend of Cunard for many years, and we
look forward to his creative leadership and sharing more designs as
they come to life."
