March 11th 2011 - TBV commissioned round glass elevator TBV is proud of its association with Heesen shipyards who launched a sophisticated 55 meter yacht “My Quinta Essentia” on March 11, 2011. TBV commissioned a round glass elevator for this marvelous super yacht. This custom built elevator is a prominent part of the beautiful atrium of the yacht, designed by interior designers, ‘Ken Freivokh and Michela Reverber’. The state-of-art elevator, made of glass and mirrored stainless steel of the highest quality, runs between three decks carrying up to four people at a time. It is automatically hydraulic driven and guarantees a comfortable, noiseless and a safe ride. This is the first time that an elevator has ever been integrated in a yacht by Hessen shipyards, and TBV thoroughly enjoyed the collaboration with them and Sinnex Innenausbau GmbH to achieve this exceptional milestone.
