Around 60 boats of less than 12m in length, dinghies and personal watercraft have been accommodated on land. The considerable number of equipment, engine and service provider exhibitors are accommodated in a large, temporary air-conditioned structure. The total number of exhibitors at the show is 450, representing 800 marine industry brands from 60 different countries. According to the organising team, there has been very strong support by exhibitors with no withdrawals due to the relocation.

Initial reports from exhibitors speaking to IBI in the first hours of the show indicate they are very pleased

with the show set-up. Most major overseas manufacturers such as Azimut, Beneteau, Ferretti Group, Prestige and others are present with boats on water, while leading local manufacturer Gulf Craft is present with its flagship 140’ Majesty superyacht. DIBS has become the main show and industry networking event for the Middle East leisure boating market since the show started in 1992 and has been in continuous ownership by the DWTC, a Dubai government entity.

Negli anni le creazioni di Carlo Riva sono state un simbolo indiscusso di eleganza, savoir vivre e amore per le cose belle e ben fatte.

Nasce oggi RHS Home Collection la prima collezione living dedicata a questo mondo di creatività italiana. Con la collezione, firmata da Odilia Prisco, l'eleganza, il fascino, la cura dei dettagli e la tradizione delle quali Riva Historical Society si è fatta portabandiera prendono una nuova forma, spostandosi dal mondo della nautica al centro della casa.

La collezione riprende la leggerezza e la sinuosità delle linee dei motoscafi e le sottolinea con la nobiltà dei materiali. Il marmo di Carrara e l'acciaio sono addolciti dal legno e dall'ottone spazzolato 24k e le finiture riprendono motivi provenienti dalla nautica: l'interno dei cassetti è realizzato in pagliolato come le coperte delle imbarcazioni e come nelle barche ogni superficie nasconde uno scomparto. La pelle turchese riveste le forme morbide ed essenziali scelte dalla Designer. La scelta dei materiali è stata fatta sia nel rispetto della tradizione artigianale, sia in un'ottica di attenzione alle materie prime naturali ed ecosostenibili, come nel caso delle imbottiture interamente realizzate in gomma vegetale.

Questa prima collezione si concentra sul living con i suoi 17 pezzi, tra lampade scultoree, tea table, librerie, poltroncine, un divano ed un mobile bar rivestito in pelle turchese.

Il logo dei Tre Marinaretti RHS accompagna tutta questa collezione rivolta ad un pubblico senza tempo e senza confini se non quelli dell'eleganza e della cura del particolare tramandato dalla tradizione. Through the years, Carlo Riva’s creatures have been a symbol of elegance, savoir-vivre and love for carefully made creations.

Today the RHS HOME Collection is the first living collection dedicated to this world of Italian creativity. The collection designed by Odilia Prisco lets the elegance, the care for details and a tradition of which Riva Historical Society is the standard-bearer, to take new forms, from the nautical world to the heart of homes.

The collection embodies the light and undulating lines of motorboats and emphasizes them with noble materials. Carrara marble and steel are softened by wood and golden copper whereas the finishes use nautical patterns: the interiors of the drawers are made with wooden planks as for ship decks and as in boats every surface has a hidden compartment. Turquoise leather coats the soft and refined shapes chosen by the Designer. The choice of the materials was made with respect for the craft tradition and with care for natural and sustainable raw materials, such as the paddings in natural rubber.

This first collection focuses on the living with 17 pieces, among which sculptural lights, tea table, library, chairs, a sofa and a portable bar in turquoise leather.

The RHS Three Sailors logo is present all over the collection, which is addressed to a timeless public without boundaries save the ones given by elegance and the care for the uniqueness handed down by tradition.
