Monocoque Paddle Canoe

Italian designers BorromeodeSilva have created a stunning, Monocoque canoe that is made of the finest materials possible, including copper-woven carbon fiber and hand laid teak. The sleek craft is future-looking, but with a clear nod to the past, inspired by larger watercraft, but also the fins of a classic Cadillac. The designers especially embedded the copper wires into the carbon fiber to allow for a shimmer that mimics sun on the water, an homage that also brings the canoe into closer connection with it’s destination. A beautifully made craft, indeed. Via DesignBoom:
