Icona Design is celebrating its first ten years of business by launching into the boat sector with the Fibonacci, an electric catamaran that is as innovative in its style as in its propulsion system. \u201cThe boat draws inspiration from the Nucleus\u201d, explains Samuel Chuffart, vice president and Global Design Director of Icona, \u201cthe vehicle concept that we presented in Geneva in 2018. The two concepts do not have shared style points; instead, they are united by the same, inspiring idea. The Nucleus wasn\u2019t simply a self-driving car from which the steering wheel had been removed, but a means of transport that reinterpreted the passenger compartment to make it more like a space in which you spend time with people. The Fibonacci, for its part, has shapes arising from the wish to enhance sociability and conviviality on board. On both, the focus is strongly on a central environment around which everything develops\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div>The name, a clear allusion to the famous numerical sequence, was not, of course, randomly chosen. There are recurring stylistic motifs on the Fibonacci that define elements of different dimensions. Designed following the concept of \u201cless is more\u201d, it enhances the essential and renounces frills. The two sets of stairs that lead to the upper deck, the moveable covering with solar panels, the steering position with touch screens and drive-by-wire control systems, or the glass bulkheads denote refinement, as well as aesthetic purity.<\/p>\n<\/div>
