[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]"These guys trusted each other, so there wasn't a very detailed contract," he said.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]Mr Starck is known for his striking designs for the Alessi [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/91353.html]company[/url], including an aluminium lemon squeezer that is shaped like a spaceship.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]He collaborated with Steve Jobs for five years on the project, describing the boat as "showing the elegance of intelligence."[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]The vessel is minimalist in style and is named after the Roman goddess of love and its windows measure 3m (10 feet) in height. [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]Mr Starck has said that Venus "looks strange for a boat" but said its shape comes from design ideas he shared with Mr Jobs. [/size][/font][/color]
