All octoport furniture is produced entirely of carbon to make it light and durable. But what is carbon actually?
Carbon fibres are fibres about 5 to 10 micrometres in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. Carbon fibres have several advantages including high stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, high chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance and low thermal expansion. These characteristics have made them very popular in aerospace, motorsports and yachting. To produce a carbon fibre, carbon atoms are bonded together in crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fibre as the crystal alignment gives the fibre a high strength-to-volume ratio – making it very strong for its size. Several thousand fibres are bundled together to form a tow which may be used by itself or woven into a fabric.
For the upholstery octoport uses only use high-quality fabrics which are all wind, (salt)water and sun resistant. We combine traditional workmanship with innovative techniques and a customer-oriented approach to business. We have been delivering luxurious, hard-wearing and tailor-made soft furnishings for superyachts.
On a superyacht, every detail, no matter how small, shines with a perfect sheen. This highest possible standard of finish is of course also met by all octoport collections. In collaboration with leading lacquer specialists, we give our furniture an impressive finish that can also be completely tailored to the owner’s wishes. All octoport products can be supplied in every conceivable shade.
Based on its expertise in carbon furniture construction, octoport implements individual designs by superyacht designers and thus meets the demand of many owners to have a product that is completely tailored to them. Technically, there are no limits for octoport; any material thickness or furniture size can be realized – not only in carbon fibre but also in composite, stainless steel or teak. The bespoke service from octoport covers all requirements.
SAFE AND ELEGANT BOARDING SOLUTION
Octoport´s dock step LYSS is a clever and elegant solution for boarding a yacht to compensate the distance between the quay and the gangway. The main attraction are the backlit teak steps so that the dock step LYSS becomes an eye-catcher in the dark and at the same time conveys a feeling of safety when boarding. [more]
