Bannenberg & Rowell Design

Brand History

The career of Jon Bannenberg, the founder of the world-famous company, began with classes far removed from design, first playing the piano in pubs, later fond of decorating theatrical scenery, and then opened a pawnshop where he sold antiques for interiors, which is where his design studio was born. The Tiawana sailing yacht, launched in 1968, was Bannenberg's first order.

Philosophy

Bannenberg & Rowell Design has a wealth of experience, respect for clients and industry and is always ready to offer bold solutions, however, the company's employees do not stop there and continue to learn and develop. As they say in the studio, «our goal is to create the freshest and most creative work».

Specialty .

The company began with the design of small boats and constantly took on increasingly complex projects, focusing on the interiors and exteriors of superyachts. Also Bannenberg & Rowell Design can be called a forge of frames. John not only made a name for himself, but also brought up many designers who opened their own studios, such as DisdaleStarkey, Winch, Heywood, Poulias.
