]]> Foldboat is a project created by product designers Max Frommeld and Arno Mathies. The project includes the development of the rather ingenious and incredibly beautiful Boat One and Boat Two.

Designed to be easily stored and transported, the highly accessible Boat One measures 1.5m x 60cm and is made from a single sheet of 5mm thick P.E. plastic, which neatly folds in on itself. Boat Two is a more simplified version of Boat One. Instead of being folded, this special dock edition remains as a flat sheet measuring 2.5m x 1.5m and can be easily assembled using only three components.

Perfect for city dwellers or campers looking for a quick and easy boat. I’ve got aesthetic and functional love for these designs. Super.

The boats will be exhibited during I Saloni 2011, at Via San Marco 38, Milan, April 12–17.

When I saw it for first time, this boat struck me as really special and different. Using just one, very bold color accentuates the simple lines and makes the boat stand out as a whole.

RAL5105 is 6.9 meter long and is fit for eight people. It was auctioned off last July at Hôtel Hermitage in Monte-Carlo.

The project’s functional goal [was] to create the ultimate day racing yacht, built for recreational rather than competitive purposes, but with the highest levels of manoeuvrability. The aesthetic expression of these functional aspirations is embodied in the sleekest of carbon-fibre hulls surmounted by the geometric purity of a triangular white sail.
