Pacyfic’s Iconic Captain’s Chair – Meet the Designer
Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of working with many talented visionaries, designers, and engineers. One of the most significant collaborations has been with Espen Thorup – a renowned Scandinavian designer, whose path crossed with ours through projects for the Nordkapp-Boats brand.
Following Espen’s vision and designs, we worked closely to bring his concepts to life – with a strong emphasis on precision craftsmanship and attention to detail. The goal was to create upholstery that perfectly reflects the character of these unique boats: minimalist, elegant, cohesive in form, and beautiful in their simplicity.
Over time, our partnership naturally evolved – from crafting upholstery to jointly developing helm seats. Espen’s concepts gradually moved from design to prototype and eventually to series production at Pacyfic.
One of our flagship models is the Fiji seat – a highly versatile design, chosen by various boat manufacturers, from leisure boats to more advanced vessels. Thanks to its structure and customization options, Fiji is available in many unique variations – always tailored to the specific project. It’s an ideal solution for those seeking seating for yachts and motorboats that blends functionality with aesthetics.
We’re currently working on new models, which we plan to introduce at the start of the 2025/2026 season. These will offer even more possibilities in the field of custom yacht upholstery – responding to the growing demand for innovation, quality, and personalisation.
