Philippe Starck Rewards Frauscher

The 747 MIrage won the "Nautic Design Awards 2014" at the Paris Nautic Boat Show.

The Nautic Design Awards were presented in the course of Nautic Expo, held in Paris from 6-14 December.

In the category of “Day Boat” the Frauscher 747 Mirage won the Nautic Design Award 2014 and was also distinguished with the special award of the French magazine Sports & Style.

The international populace had the opportunity to vote for the finalists in an online pre-selection over a period of two months. The
final winners were determined by the public at the Parisian trade show and a committee of experts.

The members of the professional jury at the event, led by the world designers Philippe Starck and Odile Decq, were journalists of the magazines Moteur Boat, Neptune, Sport & Style and many others.

Its strong design language and refined features put the 747 Mirage in the spotlight at Nautic Expo 2014 and enthused major international figures of contemporary and modern design.

Both awards were given in recognition of the hard work of Frauscher’s in-house development director Thomas Gerzer, the Austrian design team of KISKA GmbH and designer Harry Miesbauer, who was responsible for the design of the hull.
