Based in Amstelveen and working internationally, the studio offers a fully integrated approach covering exterior design, naval architecture, engineering, and refit design support. The studio combines creative design thinking with deep technical expertise developed over decades of collaboration with leading shipyards, engineers and owners. Mulder Design is particularly recognised for its refined exterior styling, efficient hull development, the high speed cruising hull and balanced approach to performance, comfort and aesthetics.

Owner and naval architect Bas Mulder, shares that the team works across a wide range of custom and semi-custom projects, from concept development through to delivery. Its portfolio includes high-performance aluminium yachts, steel displacement vessels and complex refit projects. Each design is developed in close dialogue with the client and yard, ensuring solutions that are both visually distinctive and technically sound.

Mulder Design’s philosophy centres on clarity, proportion and longevity. Rather than following trends, the studio focuses on creating yachts with enduring appeal, optimised performance and thoughtful detailing at every scale — from overall naval architecture to the smallest exterior design elements.
