A
pioneer in the industry, Berkus established his award-winning interior
design firm at the age of 24, showcasing an approachable and elevated
design philosophy that has transformed countless interiors around the
world for more than 20 years.
Over and above the interiors he designs,
Berkus’ signature style has been carried through to his highly popular
product lines which include a home and baby collection sold at Target, a
fabric line at Jo-Ann Fabric & Craft Stores, as well as being
Artistic Advisor for LG STUDIO. As such, Berkus was a perfect fit to
showcase Celebrity’s cutting-edge innovation and breathtaking design on
its newest class of ships.
"Nate
Berkus embodies modern luxury, and evokes a global aesthetic with his
forward-thinking style, which is admired by the design world and the
world at large,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, President and CEO, Celebrity
Cruises. “When we first sat down with Nate, we knew this was going to be
an incredible partnership. Design is in our DNA, as well as Nate’s,
plus we share a love for the same things: modern luxury, one-of-a-kind
design, and global travel. We couldn’t think of a better person to
collaborate with on the truly transformational Edge Class.”
“When
Celebrity approached me about a potential partnership, I couldn’t wait
to get onboard – pun intended. Their commitment to delivering the very
best in terms of luxury design, but also their attention to the overall
experience, the level of detail and care, really stood out for me,” said
Berkus. “I love the idea that we can travel beautifully, and that every
moment of the experience – from start to finish – is exceptional.
That’s what the Edge Class is all about.”
Edge
Class is Celebrity’s first new ship class in nearly a decade,
succeeding the brand’s revolutionary Solstice Class. The company expects
delivery of Celebrity Edge in Fall 2018. Celebrity Beyond is scheduled for delivery in Spring 2020, and the third and fourth Edge Class ships in Fall 2021 and Fall 2022, respectively.
Celebrity
Cruises will continue revealing details throughout 2017 and 2018,
inviting guests along the pioneering journey and offering glances of
what’s to come in the future of cruising. For more information on
