4 8 Liz Schneider, Owner of Liz Schneider Interiors FEATURE: COLL ABORATION Creating timeless designs “My guiding principles for creating a durable design with lasting appeal are to prioritise quality and respect a project ’s budget. A beautiful design won’t be timeless or durable if you don’t invest in the materials that are best suited for the space. Embracing elements of the existing architecture, finding ways to build a design around an existing feature or motif (through colour selections, patterns or furniture) sets the stage for creating an interior space with longevity. It ’s most important to be true to the brand or vibe of the vessel. Great design is born out of authenticity and understanding, and a strong vision will translate into a lasting impression.” Conveying brand values “An elegant atmosphere, cultural enrichment, unique itineraries and full destination immersion are the pillars of our value proposition for our guests. Our vessels have been designed with this in mind from the beginning – we prioritise having an abundance of open spaces and large windows in all public rooms to enable guests to enjoy the natural scenery. The warm and soft materials and colours of the ships’ Scandi-chic interiors (created by Tillberg Design of Sweden) provide a comfortable, practical and unobtrusive backdrop to the panoramic views. This ensures our ships deliver our brand promise to take guests to “see what others don’t” while sailing in comfort. Andrea Zito, CEO, Swan Hellenic
