PUSHING THE BOAT OUT ... by One Menagerie

To reinforce the Iguana's seductively understated design and appeal for waterfront property owners, One Menagerie collaborated with Country & Town House magazine on a dedicated fashion shoot that took place at private Henley-on-Thames estate, Fawley Court.

The Iguana's handcrafted and exquisite materials were perfectly matched alongside collections from Maison Valentino, Hermes, Burberry and Christian Louboutin. See the full 8-page feature in this month's C&TH Design edition.

Rising above the noise by One Menagerie

It’s surprisingly hard to cut through the clutter of advertising in the superyacht industry, especially via leading media channels such as Boat International.

For our latest brand advertising campaign for client, Ocean Independence, we took a more human approach to communicate core values through a specially commissioned illustrative series.
