ORIGAMI

About

Moravia
is delighted to have agreed a central agency arrangement with Schwalgien Design
and the Astilleros Armon shipyard for presentation of the 65m ORIGAMI concept.

ORIGAMI is a mono-hull support yacht that bears the exterior aesthetic of a
modern and architecturally advanced luxury superyacht. A superyacht support
vessel unlike any other, ORIGAMI has been developed by Schwalgien Design and
priced for build with Astilleros Armon, coming hot on the heels of their
award-winning ‘Nebula’ shadow catamaran.

By name and by nature, ORIGAMI’s aluminium hull takes inspiration from the
Japanese practice of folding paper – a technique that has impacted how
designers have perceived, designed, and built architecture since the 17th
century. Here, the delicate papers have been replaced by aluminium plates,
folded and intersected to create angular, geometric forms that shape and
stretch across the superstructure.

ORIGAMI’s 12-metre beam and 3-metre draft will allow her to carry a fuel load
for global operation in support of the superyacht mothership. These go-anywhere
capabilities are enhanced further by incorporation of a helicopter hangar,
concealed within the superstructure, that allows for a helicopter to be stowed
without having to fold the blades providing heighted protection and permitting
truly worldwide travel.

Another notable feature of this support yacht’s design is the large tender deck
with sufficient space for as many as three large tenders, or a combination of
tenders, submersible, and water toys.

ORIGAMI has accommodation for a crew of 22 and offers a spacious crew lounge
and gym, providing significantly expanded crew quarters to aid extended
cruising, expedition operations, and superior guest service.

The interior layout of ORIGAMI can be adapted to suit client requirements and
is intended to offer flexibility. The space can be arranged with larger cabins
for the accommodation of additional guests, or the interior could be given over
to functional purpose such as housing scientific laboratories or research
centres.
