Superyacht building
On board the finest yachts
Since 2016 we have worked for the big names in Dutch yacht building. On board, ceramics are not a separate finish but part of a moving and valuable object.

Weight
Less load on total weight, furniture and handling.
Motion
The construction must cope with dynamic loads, vibration and G-forces.
Environment
From warm, humid conditions to extreme cold and temperature swings.
Build process
Many disciplines, a tight schedule and little room for repairs afterwards.

Why ceramics
Natural stone is cut out of a mountain and weighs heavily on board. We believe it can be lighter, smarter and more beautiful.
Ceramics is produced efficiently and available in almost any decor, from marble to onyx. It is hard, scratch-resistant, UV-resistant and colourfast: exactly what a yacht demands.
By combining thin slabs of 3 to 8 mm with a lightweight core, we make counter tops, washbasins and shower floors that weigh a fraction of their stone equivalent.
Origami · Meet M/Y Oritõ
Who says you can’t fold ceramics?
Small boat. Big ideas. Endless possibilities.
Watch the filmSometimes innovation starts with a simple question: what if we applied the principles of origami to ceramics? The answer is M/Y Oritõ, a little origami boat of 2.5 metres, folded from slabs of just 3 mm and finished with mosaic.
She made her maiden voyage at the Damen Yachting open day, then came ashore on a beach close to where she was made, and is now setting off on her journey around the world.
Oritõ is part of our origami vision: folding instead of carving. There you will also find the Kiri washbasin and what we learn from the Japanese craft tradition.
