A48 O/B wins the Design Innovation Award 2026

In international television production, every detail counts. When the location moves onto the water, choosing the right boat is not only a question of looks: it is a statement of intent. For the final season of Emily in Paris, the producers were looking for a boat that could speak of contemporary luxury, of the balance between style and performance, of the easy pleasure of Italian summers. The choice fell on the E26 O/B.   The E26 O/B design takes centre stage The E26 O/B enters the world of Emily in Paris with an immediate, recognisable presence. Its taut lines, sharp bow and compact profile draw a contemporary silhouette, a shape that reads as cleanly on the water as it does on screen. The colour choice adds to that visual identity, and it is the work of the Cranchi Atelier, which treats every combination as part of the design. The Bianco Panama of the hull brings out the shapes and the light, while the Macadamia interior lends a sense of continuity and refinement, chosen to make the most of materials and volumes. Someone watching the scene on Netflix may not take in every technical detail. But they catch the whole of it: the balance of the proportions, the precision of the drawing, the sense of a boat thought through in every part.
