Let us return to the Yacht "Venus", or the story of the difficult collaboration between two geniuses design.

It all starts in 2007 when designer Philippe Starck gets a call from Steve Jobs who wishes to order him a boat. The French accepted and began the project.

Starck said in an interview with Vanity Fair, he draws the boat in 1:30 in bed (the kind of anecdotes that reinforce a little more the myth of designer - engineering ... ). But this is to forget that the creator of Apple is a very demanding man who wants to get involved also in the design of the yacht.

The working sessions are multiplying and ego battles begin, Starck accusing Jobs of appropriating his ideas. These tough exchanges last until the death of Steve Jobs in October 2011.

The boat is eventually manufactured by the Dutch Feadship owner, and unveiled in October 2012. then engages a battle between the French and the successors to Steve Jobs that need a few million. The ship to over $ 100M ultimately will sail in December 2012.

The result of this collaboration is difficult Venus, an atypical Yacht 80m made ??clean horizontal lines, "broken" by sharp vertical as you can see on this video taken by a drone recently. A design in true Starck style that contrasts with the more shapely lines of the famous creations of man with apple.
