Jon Bannenberg (born 1929 in Australia; died 2002 in London) was a yacht designer Born in Australia, Bannenberg studied at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. In 1952 he moved to London and his career began to morph towards its final destination: from music to stage design to opening an interior design shop with his wife and ultimately to designing yachts. In the 1960's he designed some of the interiors of the QEII. Wikipedia
Particularly during the 1970s and 1980s, Bannenberg was to yacht design what Beethoven was to symphonic composition: He brought his own distinct, rule-breaking style to a field that had been largely colored by tradition. powerandmotoryacht.com/megayachts/0802bannenberg/
