Terence Disdale is often referred to as the original “rock star” designer, for his signature long hair, cowboy boots and love of music, as much for his high-profile yacht projects. He has designed over a 100 yachts, over half of which have been larger than 45 metres, during his 40-year plus career. With no formal training, Disdale learnt his trade working as a design assistant to the late, great Jon Bannenberg. He went on to set up his own company, Disdale Design, in 1973 and today, from a studio in Richmond upon Thames, London, the designer and his team of 15 work on both the exterior and interior of yachts, as well as on private jet interiors. The studio’s style is distinctly non-corporate, with Disdale favouring a more natural, relaxed interior, which he commonly describes as “beach-house not penthouse”.
