Industrial designer, Pivot Industridesign AS

Pivot Industridesign has long experience with maritime projects. We always look for the dimension in a project that can provide the best possible conditions for future generations. With Freepower, it was easy. We had the opportunity to design a boat exactly as we think it should be: Quiet, solar-powered, timeless, efficient, spacious, open, protected, flexible and virtually maintenance-free.
