Like many of you, every time I go yacht shopping I'm disappointed that I can't seem to find a name-brand designer yacht.

Well, our luck has just changed! Philippe Starck has moved into the design of high-end pleasure craft. Above is his Wedge Too, built by Dutch shipbuilding firm Feadship.

At 215 feet the ship includes a complete owners deck, three VIP cabins, 4 guest rooms and facilities for 20 staff members. Stark explains, "I am an environmentalist and a left winger: yachts are among the most daftest capitalist toys imaginable...I decided I might as well at least help her create something different; a yacht that is not a mountain of gold. So I designed something that was timeless and elegant...."
