DESIGNED BY MICHAEL INCHBALD FOR THE FIRST CLASS LOUNGE OF THE QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND YACHT, CIRCA 1969, MADE BY LURASHELL

The Queen's Room of the Queen Elizabeth II Yacht was designed by Michael Inchbald in 1969 and at the time was hailed as 'The most successful marine interior ever conceived’. It was to be described in detail:
"The Queen's Room, designed by Michael Inchbald, dominates the Quarter Deck. It drew an exclamation of delight from QE2's royal namesake when Her Majesty visited the ship on the eve of her maiden voyage to New York. A feature of the room is the superb bust of The Queen by Oscar Nemon. Here again the full width of the ship has been used, and the light pouring in through deep windows illumines the airy whiteness which is the main effect. A white, trellised ceiling, chairs upholstered in natural hide, structural columns encased in inverted trumpets of white fibreglass are set off by flame tweed upholstery and scatter cushions in orange, honey and lemon. The Queen's Room, for most of the day, is quiet and restful. It comes alive, gently, for afternoon tea, and more noisily at night, for one of the after-dinner floor shows." (The World's Finest Ship, Vincent Mulchrone).
Michael Inchbald also designed interiors for three other liners: the Carpathia, Franconia and the Windsor Castle.
