(CNN) — Previous offerings include a yacht in the form of a swan and another devised to resemble a shark, but Lazzarini Design Studio's latest superyacht concept may be one of its most daring yet.

The Rome-based design team has just unveiled renderings of a brand new 69-meter yacht design with a "gaping hole" right in the middle.

The aptly named Shape concept, which is to run entirely on clean energy, features a huge empty opening in its superstructure, resulting in a wonderfully distinctive silhouette.
