History
Northwind II was built in 1966 at Camper and Nicholsons in Southampton, England. Launched as Chambel IV, she was renamed by her present owner in 1970. Her interior was decorated by Maison Jansen, the renowned French design firm whose clients included the John F. Kennedy White House, Coco Chanel, the Rockefellers, King Leopold II of Belgium, and the Shah of Iran. Maison Jansen closed in 1989.
Restoration
In 2010 Northwind II was fully rebuilt and upgraded, her interior expertly restored. As one of the few remaining complete Jansen commissions, she has attracted great interest from connoisseurs of 20th-century interior design. Most recently she was featured in the August 2011 issue of Architectural Digest.[1] She is now privately owned in the Mediterranean.
