Company profile

Marilyn Bos-de Vaal and Frank Pieterse, graduates of the Art Academy of Utrecht, founded Art-Line in 1983. We had first intended to do architectural design. But after being asked to style our first motoryacht, we were awarded the design of the ultralight interior for the record-breaking Octopussy, and the even faster Moonraker. 



The success of these superyachts proved, even to us, that we could create an attractive space within a very complex technical structure. The publicity about these two yachts spread quickly through the yachting community, and we began receiving more opportunities to design yacht interiors for semi-custom and custom superyachts over a wide range of sizes.

Our work is inspired by our training in, and commitment to, contemporary art and architecture. We try to make each Art-Line interior represent an ideal balance between function and emotion, the basic ingredients clients want in a luxury yacht. Art-Line s use of colour, form, and texture allows us to offer clients wide choices in styling each individualised space.

But to us, design is not just a matter of assembling components: it requires our applying insight into clients  personalities and desires to complete each project to their satisfaction. 

Art-Line has created interiors for yachts built at Heesen, Feadship, Holland Jachtbouw, Moonen and Lurssen.

These have been built for an international list of clients including the Royal Households of Brunei and Johor Malaysia. We would welcome adding your name to that list.
