Jonny Horsfield is the Owner and Creative Director of the prestiged
company H2 Yacht Design, considered as a veteran among the yachting
industry. Jonny started giving his first steps within the area after having
graduated from Coventry University in a period during which he studied
car design. Ironically fate would lead him away from cars and approach
him to the wonders of superyacht styling. This happened due to his
first professional experiences which have allowed him to work alongside
Martin Francis, and then spending five years under the professional wing
of Donald Starkey. After having created H2 Yacht Design, during the
first steps of the business they’ve worked mostly on superyacht refits. In
2005 a new opportunity came forward for the company with a proposal
of working on the interior design of the 54 metre Proteksan superyacht

Talisman C. This would be the company’s first new-build, and an event
which would propel them into trying the areas of exterior styling and
interior design of many amazing luxury yachts. Jonny has five key factors
that he still takes into account while doing his job in approaching design:
creating a relaxing ambience, focusing on functionality and flexibility,
and cost effective solutions, while maintaining the highest quality and
using the most exquisite materials for a quality job.
Among some honors H2 Yacht Design has received throughout the years,
we can definitely point to the ShowBoats Design Award they’ve won
in 2013 thanks to their take on the interior layout design of Proteksan
superyacht Vicky. Aside from some bespoke luxury vessels, the firm has
also been involved with the interior design of several private residences.
