Amongst the top UK Interior Designers, Harlequin London has found their expertise increasingly in demand as their reputation has grown. Jamie Horton, Harlequin’s founder, explains – ‘my first encounter with the world of Superyachts was in 1998, helping to create a unique bespoke Art Deco inspired dinner service and tasked with hunting down a selection of unusual and exciting ‘objets d’arts’ to reflect my client’s character – needless to say I was hooked and loved every moment’. However, now with over 170 yachts worth of experience, Jamie’s understanding of a yacht’s unique needs, has led to a realisation that often the links between owners, designers, the yards and importantly key members of crew, needed to be addressed more carefully.

Recently Harlequin has been involved with providing specialist training for crew. As a ‘service nut’ Jamie leapt at the opportunity to become involved with not only increasing his own understanding, but with a clear aim to put this to effective use and improving communication amongst the key personnel involved with refurbs, new builds and restocking during and at the end of a busy season.
