Viel, the new Custom Line Navetta 38 is a masterpiece of design both inside and out. The interiors have been curated to encompass comfort and conviviality in connection with the exterior spaces and the sea beyond. As a result, the interior layout has been designed to be as flexible as possible, enhancing the experience offered by the interior spaces. Another strong focus was on natural light, with extensive full-height windows creating powerful continuity between the internal and external environments. ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel have revisited the stylistic features of maritime tradition – from the concept to the colour palette – through a contemporary lens. The result is an interior characterised by refined detailing and the use of fine materials with natural textures, including various types of leather, linen and parchment for the finishings, upholstery and coverings. The furnishings are custom designed by Custom Line’s expert personnel from natural leather and wood using sophisticated handcrafting techniques.

Owners of this precious model have the opportunity to customise the yacht’s interiors with decor solutions based on two different moods. The more contemporary ‘cold mood’ plays with the cool hues of sky and navy blue, while the more classic and timeless ‘warm mood’ features a warmer and cosier palette. The first Custom Line Navetta 38 will have a more neutral mood that

further emphasises the yacht’s the bond with nature through natural, muted and neutral colours such as beige and ivory. “Custom Line Navetta 38 is characterised by extensive glazing and mirrored surfaces that create a close relationship between interior and exterior, taking control of the natural light, the water and the surrounding nature and making them her own,” explains architect Patricia Viel. “Meticulous attention to detail in the customisation of the furnishings, the materiality of the surfaces and the definition of the spaces, as well as the use of a natural palette of delicate sand and ivory tones, helps create a smooth and fluid balance with the ambience, evoking a refined elegance and timeless comfort for both owner and guests.”

Custom Line Atelier also played a strategic role in the design process, working in close contact with the client to understand and interpret the style desired and transform the yacht into a faithful portrait of the owner. The atelier’s strategic consulting on interior design contributes to the development of timeless superyachts, with a special focus on customisation, ingenious materials and functional solutions, and an unmistakably refined style that reflects the customer’s personality and lifestyle at sea. In the case of the Custom Line Navetta 38, the atelier’s team played a key role in translating the design into reality, linking the vision and information provided by the designers with the needs of the suppliers and contractors. The most innovative approach here was avoiding the significant use of wood, marble and leather and instead embracing natural materials such as paper, oak and stone, which represent the latest trends in the industry and are ideal for creating a relaxed, cosy mood. www.customline-yacht.com
