Project Overview
A bespoke vessel of our own design, crafted from the keel up — featuring a dark green hull, warm oak interiors and a bottle-green bathroom with brass details.
Signe (Own design)
From the wheelhouse to the bathroom, every room of Signe answers to one hand: wide oak floors, white panelled walls and windows rimmed in green.
When the whole ship is ours to draw, nothing is left to chance.

A Woodies original, designed from the keel up

Signe is a Woodies original: a vessel we designed in-house from the very first line, rather than one we converted. Her dark green hull and white superstructure with twin masts give her a stately presence on the water, and the wheelhouse keeps a classic ship's wheel set in a bespoke oak console. When the whole ship is ours to draw, nothing is left to chance.

One palette, every room

Inside, wide oak floorboards, white panelled walls and green-rimmed windows create a calm and coherent palette that runs from bow to stern. A long oak kitchen sits beneath a row of windows onto the water, so cooking always comes with a view. Even the engine room is laid out with the same precision as the living spaces, because on a ship the rooms you rarely see matter as much as the ones you live in.

The bottle-green bathroom

The bathroom is Signe's signature: glossy bottle-green walls, brass-framed portholes and brass taps against white porcelain. It is the one room where the palette turns rich and dark, and it shows what a single hand can achieve when it shapes every room of a ship.
