Contest Yachts
This is a story of a remarkable collaboration for the last 14 years. Our goal has been to blend the luxurious spirit, spaciousness, and comfort of a large superyacht with the excitement, practicality, and flexibility of a semi-custom production yacht.
Throughout this journey, we have partnered closely with the Contest team to create an interior that truly embodies the essence of Contest: refined, comfortable and safe. These yachts are crafted with the dedication of three generations of the Conijn family, designed by passionate sailors for passionate sailors who demand nothing less than excellence from their bluewater yacht, ensuring that they become timeless classics.


“A good designer must rely on experience, on precise, logic thinking and on pedantic exactness. No magic will do‘.
– Niklaus Wirth

Making dreams a reality
Every Contest yacht exudes a tranquil, relaxed ambiance. While each model shares the same meticulous attention to detail and quality, they each possess their unique character. The hallmark of all yacht interiors is the exquisite woodwork for which Contest is renowned. To make each owner’s dreams a reality, W|B has put together a delightful mix of soft colours and textures, making every yacht feel like a true home.
Whether the base material is teak or oak, each yacht unmistakably reflects the Contest identity. Signature features include the elegant tulip table, ribbed wood panels, and soft leather accents.
Collaboration with Contest and Jude & Vrolijk
Creating something special for each owner is all about the little details. Each yacht can be personalized with logos and unique elements that add that perfect finishing touch.
As we look ahead to the next chapter, we’re thrilled about the future and the possibilities it holds! We are currently collaborating with Contest and Jude & Vrolijk to develop new models that will feature innovative elements and enhanced opportunities for personalizing your yacht. The journey ahead is filled with excitement and potential, and we can’t wait to share what’s in store!


Projects
A selection of projects created by Wetzels | Brown. On request we have more projects available to show you. Feel free to contact us.

Faena House
Craftsmanship through Time
To truly appreciate craftsmanship, one need not dwell in the past; rather, one can find joy in its legacy. For our project at Faena House in Miami, the client sought a vision of “Hardcore Art Deco.” This wasn’t merely an obsession with the style, but rather an appreciation for the finest elements of the past, blended with a forward-looking perspective—an invitation to indulge in Miami’s vibrant culture alongside the Faena Hotel and cultural centre next door.

Chrisco
One of a Kind
This project beautifully encapsulates the essence of collaboration and creativity, where the vision of the clients and the dedication of the team converge to create something remarkable. The strong chemistry among the team members fosters an environment where innovative ideas flourish, and every detail is meticulously crafted to reflect the clients’ aspirations and lifestyle.

Mediterranean Penthouse
Natural and Artificial Light
This project prominently features light as a constant element high above the city, thanks to its 360-degree windows that showcase the shifting illumination throughout the day. The apartment design was inspired by our client’s vision of a bespoke coastal entertaining space – relaxed and comfortable with just the right amount of city chic. We took inspiration from the location – hot sun, warm sea and endless sand dunes.

Legato
Colour in Life
We have recently completed a yacht for a client whose vision was to evoke feelings of summer joy and foster family bonding during the warm summer days. This family boldly embraced vibrant colours that mirrored their optimistic perspective on life. Our task was to harmonize these vivid dreams without compromising their vibrancy.

Parisien Pied-a-terre
A celebration of Parisian elegance
Travel has opened up the world, bringing different cultures within reach, yet some argue that it has made experiences feel uniform. Our mission is to root each project in its unique surroundings, cultivating a sense of calm and belonging. While the practicalities of life can remain consistent, the style and interaction with the environment should resonate with local culture, history, and nature.

ideas grow
