British design student Daniel
Humphreys wins top prize

Daniel Humphreys, from Plymouth University, has won the Abitare
La Barca Concept Award design competition. Representing the UK,
Daniel is the first British design student to have won the
internationally recognised industry award.
Daniel, a third year industrial design student, won this year’s
Superyacht UK (SYUK) competition, giving him the opportunity to
compete with other design students at the sea technology and design
event, Seatec, held in Carrara, Italy.For the third year running,
an entrant from the UK attended Seatec to showcase their portfolio
to industry representatives and compete on an international
stage.
Daniel and the 10 other Italian students competed in the
freehand drawing competition to design a completely dismountable
boat of 3m-6m (10ft-20ft) in length with eco-friendly
propulsion and natural or recyclable materials used throughout.
“Daniel’s design was an excellent match among the constraints,
with significant original solutions, with attention to detail to
aesthetic values. It is rich in design details and excellent
drawing execution,” says award president and professor of
Industrial Design Marco Maiocchi.
Toby Allies, chairman of SYUK, says: “It is a good sign for the
future of the UK design industry when a student can win a
prestigious competition in Italy. We hope he will follow a long
line of illustrious British designers whose yachts can be seen
around the world.”
