Lazzarini Design Studio revealed the Avanguardia, a concept megayacht shaped like a swan with a movable neck and removable head.
Avanguardia, which is Italian for vanguard or experimental, is a seemingly fitting name for this uniquely shaped yacht that prominently features a swan head-like oversee tower above the rest of the ship.
According to the Rome-based design studio, the yacht was inspired by several 1970s and 1980s Japanese anime series that depicted the leading of robots as command centers. But in terms of the specific swan component, its designer drew inspiration from a single anime: “Casshan”, a series that quality a robot swan character pretending to be a woman.
