Miminat Designs, a London-based interior architecture and design studio, has shown the world new renderings of a stunning superyacht concept simply named "K" that sways away from tradition and proposes a new approach to yacht design centered on "simplicity, harmony, and the natural elements."

Founded by British-Nigerian artist and designer Miminat Shodeinde, Miminat Designs is mainly focused on creating functional art and elegant interior spaces for both residential and commercial structures, with her work being described as "contradictory in some senses - brutalist, but also soft and feminine in some elements."

Concept K is the first superyacht project revealed by the British studio and impresses with its striking elegance, sculptural hull, and ultra-modern interior. It's a one-of-a-kind design that looks sumptuous and sophisticated.

Described by its designer as an "architecturally refined, dynamically styled floating sanctuary" and a "masterpiece in and of itself," the yacht integrates elements from the Japanese design philosophy, centered on spaciousness, simplicity, grace, and natural beauty.

The renders for this concept showcase a 131-foot (40-meter) vessel with a sleek silhouette that combines silver and black design elements with a vertical bow and a mix of curved lines and sharp edges that evoke a sense of dynamism on the water. The overall glossy look exudes a sense of understated glamor, somehow previewing the luxurious amenities that guests will find onboard.

The K concept is envisioned as "moving art" and aims to elevate the yachting experience with relaxing outdoor areas and lavish accommodations. Some of the highlights of the design include an expansive beach club with a glamorous infinity swimming pool and plush lounging space and a glass-covered atrium with bar-like seating to the front of the saloon that is meant to offer those onboard stunning views of the surrounding ocean even when they're inside.

There is also an inviting outdoor area on the bow with sun pads, various seating options, and a fire pit. The sundeck is also a place perfect for entertainment and socialization, fitted with a barbeque and an al-fresco dining table.

With a volume of 300 GT, the K concept offers impressively generous accommodation. There is an opulent owner's master suite on the main deck, a VIP stateroom on the lower deck, and no less than three double or twin staterooms for guests. The vessel also includes accommodation for a crew of six.

Though dominated by a largely dark color palette and a moody, masculine ambiance, the yacht's interiors are characterized by spaciousness thanks to the high ceilings lined with ceramic-composite panels in lighter hues and unrestricted, lofty areas. To soften up the look and give warmth and texture to the more social areas, the designer has added pops of ecru suede-like fabric and honey-colored jute throughout.

The saloon includes a fancy circular sofa and lies next to an equally impressive formal dining table surrounded by large windows. Above the dining table, there is a distinctive lighting fixture that seems to have been taken from Minimat’s recent Borris collection of lighting and furniture designs, which experiments with motion and stillness. Actually, all of the furniture pieces on the yacht are unique and crafted in-house at the artist's London studio.

When it comes to performance, Mininat's K superyacht concept could be equipped with a variety of engine options, but it is expected to have a top speed of 25 knots and cruise at 16 knots.
