EDITORIAL
Veil of luxury A veil (of luxury) is enough to transform a body into a work of art; a delicate, simple, light, almost imperceptible gesture, driven by intention rather than the desire to showcase. Elegance is not in excess but in simplicity. To quote a great name, Giorgio Armani said "The law of luxury is not add: it's remove".
In her novel, "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" (2006), Muriel Barbery talks about the daily struggle between appearance and essence, between who we are, who we would like to be and how we would like others to consider us. "Madame Michel has the elegance of the hedgehog: on the outside she is covered in quills, a real fortress, but my gut feeling is that on the inside, she has the same simple refinement as the hedgehog: a deceptively indolent little creature, fiercely solitary and terrible elegant". Beauty is elegance, it is truth. And it does not fear to get naked. Andersen's fairy tales, almost all unfit for children due to the excess of death, blood and atrocities found within them, all have something to teach. Among these is "The Emperor's New Clothes", a fairy tale that recalls "the Greek alétheia", or the nondarkening, the unveiling.
True, as a naked body is. The truth, once unravelled by the numerous layers that veil it, is intimate and naked: naked as an emperor without a robe. In a world of never-before uttered phrases, where silence and hypocrisy are unlucky emperors, it is essential to keep in mind that truth is the most precious and suave actor in the fabric of sublime workmanship. In this issue, we propose a narrative path in which true stories are unfolded, made up of authentic characters and their challenges: the beauty expressed here is the search for truth. With Rubelli it is expressed through the poetry of the classical world, in Luxury Living we find it in the authenticity of feelings, in the Amer project is given by the heroic desire to overcome, in Baglietto style is evoked by the continuous dialogue between irregularities and contrasts. As in the best stories, we do not have to get along, the dialogue is what matters, the point of view that is different has to create the truth. The decorativism of the Codecasa project breaks onto the scene and dirties the candid and pure forms of the environment, making it human, real and earthy. The truth with Guidi is revealed through knowledge, allowing the user to enter their world through artistic installations, which tell their stories and enable the use of the product. Princess uses the military strategy of camouflage: ‘Razzle Dazzle’, designed to confuse, not disclose. Turn on your curiosity, invite yourself to the game, look for a reaction. It is pure creative stimulation.

technique, which gave birth to exquisite and trendy motives. There is no limit to creativity to realize bespoke furnishings with patterns that range from fantasy to geometric in an endless selection of different nuances. The butterfly (in Greek psychĂŠ) it is an allegory of the soul. Although the animal symbolizes different things to diverse cultures, butterflies are synonym of joy, romance, change, metamorphosis and transformation. Like the butterfly, that begins its life in a form to end up in another (from a caterpillar to a chrysalis), Marine Leather starts with the most authentic leathers to reach the perfection with custom panels for the most exclusive spaces.

JONAS LERICHE, THE ART OF CREATING PHOTOGRAPHIES LAYER BY LAYER LERICHE CONSIDERS HIMSELF AN ART DIRECTOR FIRST AND THEN A PHOTOGRAPHER. DELVING INTO THE RICH LAYERS IN HIS PHOTOGRAPHS ENABLED HIM TO CONNECT WITH DEEPER LAYERS OF HIS AUTHENTIC SELF. THIS JOURNEY IS A DRAMATIC, ONGOING AND EVEN VITAL PROCESS FOR HIM.

in his production studio. In a world dominated by mere appearance, social media posturing and superficiality, the driving force behind the Jonas's work is the desire to seamlessly inject the rawness and beauty of nature into his controlled photographs in order to challenge viewers that might be unaccustomed to scratching any deeper than the surface. leriche.be | instagram.com/jonasleriche
orn in Belgium in 1976, Leriche began his personal journey into Fine Art photography after years as a fashion photographer. After this experience, Jonas felt something calling him to create with more purpose. It was time to take a journey inward, to transform. This transformative decision allowed Leriche to delve into the rich layers of his profession.
Jonas Leriche, VEIL OF LUXURY Photography Of Living Art, 180x120 cm The Artworks Veil of Luxury and Veil of Luxury Butterflies (on cover) are pure artistic interpretations, they are not commissioned or associated with any brand
At a young age, Jonas was fascinated by the beauty in nature, and it has exerted an elemental pull on him ever since. This authentic experience stands in shrill contrast with the world that we all can so easily get consumed by today.
Leriche constructs his photographs layer by layer, with meticulous attention to detail. Taking the actual photo is but the final stage of a long, deliberate process, punctuated by flashes of inspiration. Jonas is first an art director and then a photographer. Because for Jonas, photography is just a medium to transforms emotions, intentional and unconscious ideas into gripping images. His scenarios go far beyond the individual or the anecdotal, and his work is more then just merely aesthetically appealing photographs. They are larger than life images of dramatic, iconic figures that tap into a deeper level of experience, melancholy and mortality. The real quest, however, is to discover true inner beauty, mysterious beauty, for the viewer to gradually unravel. Leriche’s artistic method is a dramatic, ongoing and even vital process. His ultimate wish is that his artworks will also awaken viewers to a process of reconnection with the essential. Struggling between the authenticity of nature, and the artificiality of photography, Leriche finds a perfect balance in pushing the boundaries of the natural

"THE ITALIAN FLAVOUR"
OVER THE PAST THREE DECADES MAZZOLENI HAS ORGANISED SOLO AND GROUP EXHIBITIONS OF MORE THAN 150 PROMINENT ITALIAN AND INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS FROM ACROSS THE 20TH CENTURY. IN MONTECARLO MAZZOLENI PRESENTED AN ARTISTIC PATH THAT ILLUMINATED AND ENRICHED THE BEAUTIFUL INTERIORS OF STELLA DI MARE.
D
uing the Monaco Yacht Show 2018 the prestigious Italian art gallery, based in Turin with a branch in London, organized an exclusive art event on board Stella di Mare, the latest 40m construction by CBI Navi (See article page 132).
Mazzoleni has been working for over 30 years to offer an up-to-date and enticing overview of the modern and contemporary Italian art scene. Over the past three decades the art gallery has organised solo and group exhibitions of more than 150 prominent Italian and international artists from across the 20th century.
of the "space", always devoted to the Italian artists, was presented with the exhibition "Equilibrium", which the art gallery opened in October (up to January 2019) at its location in Turin. An idea for Italian sculpture curated by Giorgio Verzotti. The theme explored one of the constants of Italian sculpture that through the negation of its pondus open structurally to the surrounding space. While following different paths, each artist arrives at a condition of equilibrium between the elements that physically make up the work: in this way, the fragility that is frequently a common denominator of these strands of research finds a strength capable of conferring stability.
Along with works by a number of recognised masters of Italian art, the exhibition also proposed more recent works, in many cases created specifically for this project, by some of the leading artists who have renewed the paradigms of contemporary Italian sculpture.
In December Mazzoleni returned to Art Basel Miami Beach to present works focusing on the "Arte Povera" movement, represented by three distinguished figures, Alighiero Boetti (1940-1994), Jannis Kounellis (19362017) and Michelangelo Pistoletto (b.1933). The Italian conceptual artist, Alighiero Boetti, most famous for a series of embroidered works and investigations on language, conveying puzzles of short phrases, inverted sayings or wordplay, was exhibited at the show through his later embroidered works from the 90s and Aerei, 1983, an early biro on paper work, depicting aeroplanes on a striking red background.
Entitled "The Italian Flavour", this selection of artworks, exhibited on board the new megayacht built by CBI Navi, and showcased as world premiere in Monte Carlo, was composed of works by nine artists, featuring a number of For Jannis Kounellis the physical reality of the materials strands of Italian research from the 20th and early 21st is important and he is centuries: thinking known for using found about materials, objects such as iron, language and idiom of The works by Elio Marchegiani (1929) exhibited on board Stella di Mare during the Monaco Yacht Show. burlap, and even coal art and in art, colour Courtesy Mazzoleni London - Turin to powerful effect. as symbol and as a constructor of space, What animates the re-readings of the art mirror paintings of the past.

Artists shown at Art Basel Miami 2018: Alighiero Boetti; Agostino Bonalumi; Alberto Burri; Enrico Castellani; Lucio Fontana; Jannis Kounellis; Piero Manzoni; Fausto Melotti; Michelangelo Pistoletto.
The Gallery also presented the works by Lucio Fontana (1899-1968), best known for his revolutionary "Tagli" or "cuts", which consist of slashed, ripped or punctured canvases. Following the invention of the ‘holes’ in 1949, the founder of Spatialism broke the conventional notions of twodimensional painting in order to create a new kind of art, more appropriate for the age of space exploration and science. By investigating beyond the canvas, his “slashed” Tagli, became one of the most recognisable gestures of the Post-War era. This innovative conceptual act redefined the Italian artistic landscape and had a wide-reaching influence. Alberto Burri (1915-1995) is renowned for utilising a host of everyday materials, such as burlap and plastic, transforming them via use of burns and lacerations into dynamic works on paper, canvas and celotex.
At Art Basel Miami, Mazzoleni presented a selection of exemplary works from his Cellotex and Combustione series, including Cellotex 1982. Defying the customary
Agostino Bonalumi, Rosso, 1985, Mazzoleni
use of celotex as an industrial material, Burri created a large oeuvre of works where variations in composition, colour, volume, form and texture were meticulously and systematically researched. By discarding the traditional approach to painting and utilising raw artistic expression, Burri altered the way in which artists subsequently worked around the world. Throughout his career, Burri participated
Alighiero Boetti, Aerei, 1983, Mazzoleni
Alberto Burri, Cellotex, 1982, Mazzoleni
in a succession of solo and group exhibitions at some of the most prestigious museums of the world including, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Rome, the Tate in London and the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris. Agostino Bonalumi (1935-2013)also shared an interest in sculpting painting into the third dimension. He explored the plasticity of the canvas with his ‘Painting-Objects’, by experimenting with vinyl tempera across a riveted structure in his extroflexions, creating a rhythmic tension between form and light. On display were key works from the 50’s and 60s. mazzoleniart.com

SUPERYACHT DIGEST PARTNERS WITH TOM VAN OOSSANEN FOR AN ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHIC PROJECT BASED ON YACHTING EMOTIONS. THE FIVE SHOTS HERE PUBLISHED ARE PART OF AN ART GALLERY WHICH SUPERYACHT DIGEST MANAGES IN EXCLUSIVITY FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
O
ur passion for the photography of Tom Van Oossanen continues. The young photographer, increasingly requested by the important shipyards of NorthEurope, for the creation of photographic services with his particular perspective. As already described in the September issue of Superyacht Digest, where we have given ample space to "Tom's vision", his images are documentary reportage and creative compositions. In every shot there is a sentiment expressed through the light. The beauty of his shots lies in the contrasts, that seem to be the fil rouge of most of his work. Black or white, great proportions compared to small details or natural vs city landscapes. These five images here published derive from an accurate selection from his own portfolio, and are chosen as first five images, part of a Collection of 10, created for an artistic project managed by Superyacht Digest in exclusivity. The Superyacht Digest Art Gallery, Collection "Tom Van Oossanen" will include 10 works by the end of 2019.
These five images are printed in a Limited Edition of 3, signed by the Author and available for sale upon request: info@superyachtdigest.com

EXPLORING THE BNOW 68 AND OASIS 135', REDMAN WHITELEY DIXON FOR BENETTI YACHTS. THE UK DESIGN FIRM INTERPRETS A NEW GENERATION OF YACHTS FOR THE ITALIAN SHIPBUILDER.
D
uring another exciting and hectic year for the superyacht industry, one yard worth keeping an eye on in 2018 was Benetti. During late 2017 and 2018, the shipyard joined forces with the British design studio RWD (Redman Whiteley Dixon) to develop several new products, including the BNow class of yachts and a brand new superyacht concept: the Oasis 135.
Indeed, 2018’s Cannes Yachting Festival and Monaco Yacht Show saw two major announcements for the Italian yard: the unveiling of the 40.7-metre
SUPERYACHT DIGEST |
January 2019
Oasis 135 and the news that the first in the yard’s BNow superyacht series, the BNow 50m, had been sold to a repeat client from the Middle East. Furthermore, Benetti also released more details about the largest yacht in the BNow class at Monaco: the BNow 68. Here, we take a closer look at these models from the drawing boards of the Hampshire-based studio, RWD, to find out what makes them stand out in today’s market and what kind of owner we can expect to benefit from owning them in the future.

THE BNOW 68 "The BNow by RWD" class of displacement yachts feature steel hulls and aluminium superstructures and form part of Benetti’s larger Custom Now family. Featuring streamlined exterior lines and a vertical bow, the superyacht is offered in four different sizes: 50 metres, 56 metres, 63 metres and 68 metres, all of which can be fully customised to the tastes of their new owners. The casual yet contemporary interior layout by RWD includes a seamless crossover indoor/outdoor living space complete with panoramic pool lounge which is offered as an extension of the aft deck and beach club; ideal for the owner looking for a contemporary atmosphere, whilst still retaining their comfort and privacy. A high-tech yacht concept in every pore, technological advancements onboard the BNow series include a rotating bar, a fireplace located in the owners’ cabin and, on the 68-metre superyacht, a firepit on the foredeck which transforms into a coffee table.
As a result of this fluid layout, with only a few movements – a disappearing television, a back bar that rotates and reveals its glasses and beverages – the entire feeling of space can change. Wellness areas are also key to the BNow models and they include gyms, spas and beach clubs, alongside various, fullycustomisable lounge areas.

Another potential plus for those looking to own a vessel in the BNow series can be found in their short delivery times. As Giovanni Bizzarri, Head of Azimut Benetti Group R&D explains, “Through computer software simulation we managed to avoid the test tank process which can usually take up to 6 months”. Thanks to this advanced construction technology, all BNow models will be built in less than the standard time expected by the market.
Adrain Chisnell, project manager from RWD for the Benetti projects and Jack Canning, Head of Interior Design at the studio, unveiled more details about the layout of the BNow 68. Both the 63 and 68-metre models offer large, secluded owner apartments, which unusually for yachts of this size, come complete with a fireplace, transforming the master suite into an intimate lounge area. Other distinctively ‘BNow’ elements found on board include the aft swimming pool, the sundeck jacuzzi and the transom terrace.

OASIS 135'
Next to be unveiled at the Cannes Yachting Festival from the drawing boards of RWD was the 40.7-metre superyacht concept Oasis 135’. Designed to offer a new approach to how indoor and outdoor spaces are utilised on board contemporary superyachts, the newest model in Benetti’s Class product line aims to fulfil the desires of an active and refined owner who will enjoy both sport and relaxation at sea by enabling them to be as close to the water as possible.

To achieve this aim, the superyacht beach area features an infinity pool which is only steps away from the sea. Furthermore, the unusual layout of her onboard spaces and her extensive use of natural light emphasise the designers’ intention to establish a clear connection to the outside world. Combining the exterior expertise of RWD with interior design from New York-based design studio Bonetti/ Kozerski, the four-deck displacement superyacht is created with the modern owner squarely in mind.

SUPERYACHT DIGEST |
January 2019
AS ADRIAN CHISNELL, TEAM PRINCIPAL AT RWD EXPLAINS: “WE’VE REVISITED THE CLASSIC CONCEPT OF ONBOARD LIFE. TODAY OWNERS DON’T USE THEIR BOATS IN THE SAME WAY AS IN THE PAST. THIS YACHT REFLECTS A NEW MORE DYNAMIC AND LESS FORMAL LIFESTYLE FOR ACTIVE, CURIOUS OWNERS WHO DON’T SPEND MUCH TIME LYING IN THE SUN BECAUSE THEY PREFER TO EXPLORE AND ENJOY THE PLACES THEY’VE JUST REACHED ON THEIR YACHT.”
The interiors are casual-chic and understated, with an elegant use of colour combinations, materials and decorations throughout. Thanks to the designers’ choice of light coloured leather and rosewood in bright colourways, the overall effect on board is that of a spacious loft which effortlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces.
A large day area replaces the traditional saloon on the main deck, with windows around the entire perimeter bringing guests closer to the natural world. Notably, a truly unique element of the Oasis 135’ is found in the pilothouse, which has been designated as a living space and lounge area, complete with sofas and armchairs adjacent to the workstation.
Guests are housed in two VIP cabins and two twins on the lower deck, with a crew of nine also accommodated for on board. Getting technical, this new displacement yacht - consisting of both a fibreglass hull and superstructure - will have a top speed of 15 knots, and a range of 4,000 nm at 11 knots, with the hull for the first model currently under construction at Benetti’s Viareggio yard. After a truly exciting year for Benetti, and following the sale of the 50m BNow, we must wait and see if an owner decides to snap up either her bigger sister, the BNow 68, or the Oasis 135 superyacht in the months ahead.
As for the master suite, this expansive apartment is located on the main deck and comes complete with a marble bathroom and private balcony.

elcome to the home of Luxury Living Group in Palazzo Orsi Mangelli in the historic centre of Forlì�, a town in Northern Italy with an ancient feel, distinguished by people-friendly architecture, with a medieval, modern and contemporary aspects. It is famous for its artisanal traditions, and is rich in culture and endowed with a unique heritage of entrepreneurship. Here we find Luxury Living Group, The Maison of the world of interior design. The pulsating core of the company founded by Alberto Vignatelli in the early 1960s, is housed in an elegant, noble building dating back to the 17th century. The building was given a new lease of life after extensive restoration works undertaken by the company itself, supported by architect Roberto Pistolesi, and under the supervision of the Superintendent for Cultural Heritage of Ravenna. Walking through the magnificent rooms on two spacious floors, the ground floor (with courtyard and loggia) and the upper floor, we are captivated by the series of rooms that we cross, looking up also to admire the splendor of the beautiful original ceilings. We are surrounded by walls adorned with frescoes, decorations, columns and capitals, arches, Venetian floors and walls covered with restored period fabrics, as well as paintings and antiques. We find, at a glance, all the glamour of classical and contemporary art: here in a charming, timeless, peaceful and sumptuous ambiance, sometimes a little austere but very welcoming, the sumptuous and refined interior collections made by Luxury Living Group for some of the most important international brands, reign supreme.
The collections are the result of a perfect combination of exquisite Italian craftsmanship and technological innovation and are conceived, developed and produced to the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. The Luxury Living Group lifestyle embodies elegance and creativity, shaping exclusive settings with distinctive charm, where luxury and style are in perfect harmony.

luxury distinguishes the Bentley Home range, with its sought-after youthful design characteristic of the English car maker, while the dynamic compositions and typically Italian feel of Trussardi Casa mirror the style of the Maison del Levriero. The elegant and timeless style that identify the sophisticated collections of the Heritage Collection and Paul Mathieu for Luxury Living Collections, stand alongside the high class lifestyle of the Bugatti Home collections, with technological features in typical Bugatti style, and the recent Ritz Paris Home Collection, which convey the unique and sophisticated style of the iconic Ritz Paris. The latest addition to the group will be the Baccarat La Maison, with its official launch taking place in January at Maison & Objet in Paris.
"MY FATHER, THE FIRST INFLUENCER IN THE STORY OF THE LUXURY HOME DESIGN SECTOR"
Raffaella Vignatelli, President of Luxury Living Group
THE BRAND OF BRANDS
Raffaella Vignatelli's first-hand account of the story of Luxury Living Group reveals that it started with a meeting in 1987 between Alberto Vignatelli, an adventurous entrepreneur, a "Dreamer", a courageous man, undoubtably ambitious, with a tough and decisive character, and Anna Fendi. From this the concept of the first brand, FENDI Casa, was born, which in the following years gave life to the Luxury Living Group, “The Brand of Brands”. It quickly proved to be a successful concept, a revolutionary vision that took Fendi’s style from the catwalk to new levels. Whilst maintaining the fashion house’s design style Alberto Vignatelli initially designed cushions, then sofas, beds, tables, other furniture and luxury accessories. Brilliant, progressive, visionary, a trailblazer of fashion

and a creator of styles - to use a modern expression "a farsighted trendsetter of interior design". "The first great influencer in the world of luxury furniture", in the words of his daughter Raffaella Vignatelli, who worked with her father for thirty years during the expansion of the company. A man clearly inspired and inspiring, who has certainly contributed to the success of Made in Italy who, above all, launched an innovative business model in the world of interior design. It was unique and successful, hard to imitate, and it today has a turnover of about 120 million Euros. His idea was to transport, or rather interpret and transfer the DNA of fashion houses into exclusive and refined furnishing collections, destined for a global market, taking charge of design, production and development, 52

In 2018 the brand celebrated its 30th anniversary during the Salone Internazionale del Mobile. 30 years of an intense and fruitful relationship, symbolic of elegance, excellence in craftsmanship and continuous experimentation, which over time has defined the FENDI codes of living.
together with manufacturing risk, and he was the sole player, despite some attempts by other brands to use the same approach.
Now a year after the sudden death of her father, Raffaella Vignatelli, together with Daniele Vignatelli and Olga Vignatelli, continues his work. She describes her father's character as follows: "A man who sailed at the helm of his company without respite, not afraid of the unpredictability of the seas. He was perfectly well aware of the risks, and he was just as sure of finding his way home when it was no longer possible to continue". Alberto Vignatelli was an insatiable lover of sailing on his Oyster 72 (S/Y Albertone 3) where he was always at the helm, and on which he spent all his precious free time with his family. A passion that gave rise to his best lifelong friendships. "A place so 53
dear to him that the photograph he wanted for his last farewell pictures him at sea," reveals Raffaella Vignatelli.
The metaphor of life on a sailing boat, with which she describes her father - with some evident emotion - allows us to glimpse some of their family intimacy, and this is an gift for our readers. Storms are part of adventures at sea as well as of business ventures, and it also hints at the sometimes complex journeys that all companies have to face. "But my father knew how to fall and how to pick himself up and rise again. He loved yachts which, unlike motor boats, will always get you back home.�

INTERVIEW
Q: TODAY YOU ARE BRINGING TOGETHER AND TAKING FORWARD A SIGNIFICANT ENTREPRENEURIAL INHERITANCE. WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE AS REGARDS THE DIFFERENT BRANDS OF THE GROUP, AND WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES FOR THE VARIOUS MARKETS? A: "We are shaping up the next moves for each brand in line with the strategic vision set by my father: maintaining the separate identities, style and mission of each brand is a must. As for the markets, today we no longer refer to them geographically: there is no Chinese market, for example, there are Chinese customers. So we talk about cultures, populations and people who travel, and who are also getting used to buying in countries that are not those from where they have originated. It is important to keep

a very open mind when establishing relationships; the market has a strong cultural dimension. We are considering buying other brands to include in our portfolio, so the question we are asking ourselves is whether we need more and if so, what exactly. We are certainly interested in investing, but it is not easy to make this choice, for several reasons. We have done appraisals of globally known brands, which are the focus of mass marketing, luxury products of course, but aimed at a less elitist audience. We are in the brainstorming phase: we must study the style of the brand, its detail, its language, to be able to transfer them and adapt them to an interior collection. Moving from a fashion collection to a furniture range is complex, we need to interpret the messages of the brand and its most recent range. After each new fashion show, we study all the garments, 54

We also devote the same time and attention to the automobile industry, we have the Bugatti and Bentley home collections. The worlds of fashion and cars are different, but both are rich in specific concepts that embody the philosophy of the brand, and therefore the product. We work together with their design departments to gain a thorough understanding of their language and to transfer it into the world of interior design". Q: SEVERAL BRANDS, A GROUP AND AT THE HEART A FAMILY. FROM THE VISION OF A SINGLE PERSON TODAY WE HAVE MOVED ON TO THE VISION OF A GROUP OF THREE, HOW HAS THE COMPANY ADJUSTED TO THIS NEW STRUCTURE?

A: "The loss of my father was unexpected, you are never prepared for such a difficult moment. We immediately gave ourselves very clear roles so that we didn't get involved in the same issues, we organized ourselves and gave ourselves roles based on what we were already used to, and based on our skills. Daniele Vignatelli oversees the management and the business administration areas, with a significant sales and marketing responsibility and a passion for digital communication. Olga Vignatelli is engaged in sales and marketing in a role dedicated to public relations and individual customer relations. And then l take care of everything else".

Raffaella Vignatelli is the creative soul of the group, whose main role is Art Director - as well as being Chairman she develops product ranges, oversees the coordination of styles and, like her father, shows the same DNA and passion for researching new trends: "to perceive the future needs of the market, always progressing together with the team, never alone", as she herself explains. "My father was a great influencer, the first in the field of luxury furniture design�. Q: DO YOU REMEMBER A PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT NEGOTIATION?
A: "Last April we unveiled our most recent partnership, and we are now ready to launch the Baccarat home range. We are very pleased with what we have achieved. For us Baccarat had classic messages and we were proposing

to present it using this style. Instead, we were presented with a more contemporary model which the parent company had in mind, made of futuristic chrome finishes suitable for ultra-modern settings. Our job is also to bring two approaches together and find the right compromise. That's how the Baccarat La Maison collection was conceived, a timeless style with classic tones and tastes that adapt perfectly to any type of setting, or style of interior decor. For us, the Baccarat La Maison collection was our first experience with a brand that symbolises the home without being a part of the furniture. The parent company's request made absolutely sense, it is a product that by its nature is made to be chosen by everyone, to be suitable for any type of setting, it can' t be just classic, it must be versatile". 56
Drawing inspiration from Baccarat’s history, Baccarat La Maison collection is a natural extension of the Baccarat universe and offers statement furniture and home accessories with a timeless style, at the highest standards of the art of living industry. The new collection, that will be introduced to the trade in early 2019, is created by Luxury Living Group and Baccarat, with the contribution of some of the most important interior designers from all over the world. In line with the rich tradition of Italian design and craftsmanship in the furniture field, the home collection will be manufactured in Italy and distributed worldwide by Luxury Living Group, while the production of the crystal pieces will stay with the artisans of Baccarat, exercising the same craftsmanship transmitted from generation to generation for over 250 years.
Q: LET'S TALK ABOUT CRAFTSMANSHIP, A KEY ASPECT OF YOUR CORE VALUES. WHAT LIES BEHIND THIS CONCEPT TODAY? A: "A whole world is hidden within this word. It means the continuous search for uniqueness. The desire to create absolute beauty. Our country is unique, capable of creating the very best, whether it is crafting stone, glass, iron or fabric. Through our research, we establish relationships with the best Italian craftsmen and help to make Italy known throughout the world. Ours is an artisanal industrial group and an industrial artisan business. Craftsmen process the raw materials and produce the very best results possible. Even for us, who deal with highly customized bespoke projects, working with raw materials is a constant surprise. 57
For some of the processes, such as those that take place in the upholstery department, digital support can help the craftsman, but when it comes to carpentry, certain levels of excellence and refinement can only be achieved by manual work. This know-how gives us a great deal of reward and makes us difficult to imitate".

SILVER FOX
THE TRUTH OF A STORY LIES IN THE DETAILS

BAGLIETTO 48M T-Line
Naval Architecture and Engineering: Baglietto Spa Exteriors: F. Paszkowski - Interiors: Baglietto Spa
SILVER FOX IS AN EXPRESSION OF CONTEMPORARY TASTE, WHERE TRADITION IS MIXED WITH THE UNEXPECTED TO CREATE A YACHT WITH AN EXUBERANT PERSONALITY.
L
aunched last summer and built on-spec by Baglietto, the Italian yard based in La Spezia, the 48m hull #10228 was introduced to the market at the 2018 boat show season and successfully sold on the eve of the Cannes Yachting Festival. This second hull in the T-Line series is a yacht built in steel and aluminium under 500 GT and, compared to her sister ship M/Y Andiamo, she includes many upgraded spaces. With sleek exteriors by Francesco Paszkowski Design, the modern and luxurious interiors come from the drawing boards of Baglietto Interior Design.
SUPERYACHT DIGEST |
January 2019
Embodying the Baglietto philosophy, Silver Fox - this is the name chosen by her new owner - is a yacht that both continues the yard's tradition - for example the large sundeck conceived as an open space is a Baglietto trademark - with the addition of some new and innovative solutions. This makes this new construction totally unique: the big windows fostering a perfect harmony between indoor and outdoor areas and a new layout for the beach club. As for the elegant, contemporary interiors, they were developed for a very sophisticated owner. The vessel boasts over 350sqm of luxurious space inside, allowing ample room for many new features. The exterior spaces are vast, with the sundeck alone sprawling across 140sqm of al fresco space, including dining space, a sunbathing area, and an infinity pool. The upper deck also includes a second al fresco dining area. The interiors include four guest cabins on the lower deck in addition to the master suite on the main deck.
The galley – expressly designed for fine dining – includes a central aisle with direct access to the walk-in cold rooms. Inspired by transatlantic cruises, special attention has been given to the storage areas, including a luggage room. 62
Two 3512 C DITA-SCAC Caterpillar engines allow the ship to reach a comfortable top speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots. In addition, Silver Fox is in the highest class of the Lloyds Register of Shipping.
The prompt sale of this new build is the result of the yard's substantial commercial effort in European and American markets, driven towards the end of last year and also demonstrates the high quality of the 48-metre displacement project, developed on a very stable and efficient hull. This vessel perfectly combines ample interior volumes and outdoor areas with an elegant but sporty line. Baglietto is currently building a third sistership, available for sale and delivery in 2020. In addition, the shipyard is also constructing four new motor yachts: a displacement 55-metre T-Line in steel and aluminium to be delivered in 2019, a 43-metre Fast Line and two vessels of 40 metres and 54 metres with delivery in 2020.

CONTRASTS AND IRREGULARITY The clear colours of the Italian walnut, perfectly combined with touches of gold and bronze, create a sophisticated and warm atmosphere, lightened by the Canaletto nut pattern used for the floors in the living areas. Light-shaded carpet and creamcoloured leather with irregular cuts of inlaid wood on the walls have been chosen for the accommodation areas. The interiors of Silver Fox reveal the bold character of the boat: all details and decorative elements on board are combined to create a series of contrasts.
THE GEOMETRIC, ALMOST HYPNOTIC DESIGN OF THE STAIRCASE, ADORNED BY GOLDEN ELEMENTS, IS PERFECTLY MATCHED WITH THE USE OF GLASS. Light tones contrast with the dark wood floor, while the soft and round shades of the sofa, chairs and table, as well as the angles of the walls and certain pieces of furniture, are in sharp contrast with the straight lines, resulting in a ‘cut-out’ effect. These straight lines return in the coverings of the walls, along the staircase, in the furniture and in the lamp and carpets. The shapes of some artistic elements also appear in contrast: round and geometric shapes alternate in a continued dialogue along all of the decks. The dividing panel on the main deck is one of the key elements in the interpretation of the interior design, together with the combination of lines characterizing the staircase that connects the main deck to the lower deck.

UNCOMPLICATED AND RELAXING LOOK A STUNNING YACHT OF RARE BEAUTY, COMBINING CLASSIC HULL LINES WITH A POWERFUL MODERN RIG AND A CLEAN, CONTEMPORARY CHIC ABOVE AND BELOW DECKS.
A
quarius is an harmonious build, result of the exceptional cooperation between the experienced owner's team, Dykstra Naval Architects and interior design Mark Whiteley Design. This magnificent 56m ketch - built by Royal Huisman together with Rondal and an outstanding team of rig specialists - is the representation of what, generally speaking, is reffered to as "modern classic".
Godfrey "Goddy" Cray, the owners’ representative, reports that the clients desired "a modern classical yacht with a clean, uncomplicated look. Not a pirate ship but a modern, fashionable and chic looking yacht with performance, reliability and quality – a sailor’s yacht.” Since they intended to use the boat for family enjoyment, this should have favourable sea keeping characteristics for worldwide cruising comfort and regatta performance, without compromise. The brief evolved from there. Erik Wassen, senior Dykstra designer, said: “These are adventurous owners, committed to serious world cruising and exploration with their family and guests, rather than just the well-trodden MedCaribbean circuit. They certainly wanted a beautiful yacht but the elements of security, good sea-keeping and comfort unquestionably dominated our thinking”. As experienced sailors, the owners were equally clear about performance requirements and the implications for the rig and sail management system.
And as a strong foundation for the performance, reliability and lifestyle they expected of Aquarius, the owners consistently emphasised the word "simplicity". This meant no superfluous systems or experiments, just the best modern technology platform already proven under hard sea miles.

To develop the rig package, Royal Huisman worked in close collaboration with a highly experienced specialist team comprising Doyle Sails NZ, Dykstra Naval Architects, rigging producers Carbo-Link, the owners’ very knowledgeable project manager Godfrey ‘Goddy’ Cray and the shipyard’s sister company Rondal.
This concerted approach led to the emergence of a designled sail plan, carefully crafted to deliver the owners’ requirements, with sail crossovers, integration of the sail and boom package, ease of use and low maintenance factors all pushing the design process forward. A great deal of consideration was also given to the specification of the sail management system and associated deck hardware in order to maximise efficiency and reliability, while minimising deck clutter. From almost any angle, the perfectly judged sheer and long overhangs of Aquarius’ slender hull, crowned by its majestic rig, provoke admiring comments. The black topsides, subtly enhanced by oval portlights, fairleads and a silver cove stripe that finishes in a flourish aft, gleam a discreet yet shimmering black as they flawlessly reflect the ripples on the water.
Aquarius is a successful fusion of classic and modern design references. The hull lines and traditional deckhouses evoke classical purity yet the clean, spare execution and modern detailing on deck could be equally at home on a far more contemporary yacht.
The deck features two low-profile teak clad deckhouses and a sheltered crew companionway forward. A middeck lounge area, with sun canopy above, is easily set up when at anchor. Immediately aft of the glass-rimmed main deckhouse and salon, the main cockpit provides the perfect social hub on deck while also offering direct access to the interior. Superb attention to detail is again evident in the design and execution of the folding, rotating and elevating cockpit tables that can serve as individual, low-level coffee tables or elevated and integrated to seat a party of ten, or provide an intimate breakfast setting for just two. Aft of the main cockpit and the twin helm stations, the mizzen mast signposts the approach to the owners’ private deckhouse and cockpit – and to the luxurious owners’ suite below, which is flooded by natural light provided from a circular skylight around the mizzen mast.
Deck equipment is kept to the minimum required but always with an eye to form as well as to function. Great flexibility for the various sail combinations and points of sailing is achieved by the use of Equiplite blocks with soft loop connections. Easily and swiftly moved between a wide range of available flush deck fittings, these advanced lightweight blocks incorporate chips providing load readouts and replacement planning alerts. The deck cleats are a truly stylish composition of curving, polished steel and crafted teak. Sail management is powered by high-speed winches with line speeds of up to 110 meters per minute. The Harken winches on deck are complemented by Rondal reel winches in deck lockers with electrically-driven variable speed feeders. These feeders have been developed for high speed operation, contributing to overall safety and reliability. Overhead, the immaculate, gleaming Wisper/Kingston grey-painted rig features style-to-order Rondal furling booms. The lower profile of the outer shells of the booms is a bespoke design, carefully conceived and crafted to echo the sheer of the topsides below. 77

Aquarius’ owners expressed their maximum satisfaction to the shipyard and the design team, for having created exactly what they wanted. In an interview they declared that "So far, Aquarius has proven to be an exciting sailboat, and she sails gracefully and powerfully. We have yet to test her under all conditions, but her performance to date has been excellent. Her layout has also exceeded our expectations, with ample opportunities for both privacy and socializing. We wouldn’t change a thing. She is a ship for everyone. There are plenty of things to do, many areas to find comfort and excitement, and she is an enjoyable yacht for all aboard. We are very excited to see what she can do under racing conditions, and confident she will be an impressive racing boat".
powerful rig and sail plan, her performance, power and capability are not something to underestimate – without anticipation, one can be surprised at her power. However, her systems, handling and control all aid to make her handle with relative ease. One thing that is immediately striking about Aquarius is the size and height of her mizzen mast with her high roach sails; as such the force potential of the mizzen cannot be underestimated". One of the biggest challenges in designing Aquarius was how to optimise amenities, comfort, performance and seakeeping in a relatively low volume hull, as explains senior designer Erik Wassen of Dykstra Naval Architects. "We have prioritised these aspects over regatta competitiveness. The owner is keen to try racing but not at the expense of Aquarius’ absolute fitness for long distance cruising and exploration. However, we always kept it in mind that we wanted to create a light, easily driven boat. The space planning on every sailing superyacht, irrespective of its length, produces headaches. And when you have a slender hull with long overhangs the challenges are that much greater than for a wider-beamed contemporary yacht of the same length with a high freeboard and little or no overhangs. Storage space is the biggest problem – spares, provisions, deck cushions and awnings, ship’s toys, lines and fenders, the list is endless but the space is finite.
"AQUARIUS REALLY EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. WE WOULDN’T CHANGE A THING". (Aquarius' Owners)
Also James Turner, Captain of Aquarius, added some comments about the build. "I was fortunate enough to be a part of the build and able to have some influence on the fit-out; nevertheless I will try not to be biased but instead answer this and further questions objectively. First and foremost, it is her striking aesthetic: her long elegant sheer, low, bold deckhouses and significant rig plan all stylishly combined with modern features that pair traditional with contemporary very well. From an operational perspective it is the layout of controls/screens and functions of the helm area and deckhouse. At the heart of Aquarius’ design and build was the desire of building a very capable sailing boat for family cruising to regatta racing: her power, handling and turn of speed to combine seamlessly. As James Turner explains, also in terms of manoeuvrability, there has not been any compromise. "Handling ease is often a compromise to performance and vice versa. However, in Aquarius’ case I believe her designers did exceptionally well to maximise both. With her very
It was an intensive task to apply the slide rule to every dimension throughout with the aim of saving even a few millimetres here and there but the effort has been well worth it: we have the boat we wanted. The full scale mockups were especially helpful in this respect, as well as in ensuring the layout and ‘feel’ worked as well as intended".
Mark Whiteley has designed a classic modern interior based on the owners’ preference for brush-painted white panelling and deckheads, with contrasting mahogany joinery for walls and flooring. The overall ambiance should be calm and elegant, providing a "New England feel of relaxed elegance". The selected mahogany is crown cut Swietenia, chosen for its nuanced warm tones to complement furnishing fabrics in equally subtle shades of ivory and cream. The magnificent deck salon immediately gives a powerful impression of the light, airy and subtly nuanced combination of fabrics, paint and furnishings that sets the tone throughout the interior. The sense of natural light streaming through the panoramic windows and reflected off the surrounding seascape is overwhelming. This is another example of how well the classic / modern fusion works: original classic yachts never had more than small portholes facing forwards. But modern glass technology allows for all the benefits of a large forward-facing window without any compromise to security.
screen, an exceptional sound system concealed in the walls, and luxurious informal seating.
A fully equipped gymnasium with exercise bike, treadmill, rowing machine and flat bench for lifting dumbbells completes the design-offer that makes this yacht a special experience.
Special focus has been given to the design and fitting out of the extensive and superbly appointed owners’ suite. Entering this spacious suite from the corridor, you are pervaded by the natural light that floods in from an oval skylight on the centreline surrounding the mizzen mast.
A ‘NEW ENGLAND FEEL OF RELAXED ELEGANCE’
The two coffee tables near the large and luxurious cream sofa can be easily converted to create an impressive dining table for eight.
The aft staircase provides access to the main owners’ and guests’ accommodation area, with double guest cabins either side of the corridor and the owners’ suite aft. The forward staircase descends, on the port side, to a lower salon equipped with a very large hi-res cinema
The owners’ sized bed on the starboard side benefits from yet more natural light, from two portlights alongside, and faces aft for a view upstairs to the secluded private deckhouse and cockpit area above. The suite also features a study with two-person desk, and an open walk-in wardrobe.
“A lot has happened since the owners approved the first round of interior designs,” says Mark Whiteley. “We’ve spent months drawing and optimising details for every room, encouraged by ideas from the owners as well as the shipyard.” While 3-D animation was considered in the design stage, it was decided to rely on the infallible method of building full-scale mock-ups of the suite, to really experience the look and feel of the layout. An extraordinary level of attention to detail is evident in the design of door furniture, lighting and systems armatures, chamfered door and wall panelling, right down to neat docking solutions for water carafes and personal items to ensure their security at sea.

CODECASA C122
THE SUCCESFULL STORY OF THE VINTAGE SERIES HULL C122 IS ALMOST READY TO BE DELIVERED. BUILT ON SPEC BY THE ITALIAN SHIPYARD CODECASA, AFTER THE GREAT SUCCESS OF THE PREVIOUS YACHTS BELONGING TO THE SAME VINTAGE SERIES (42M M/Y MAGARI, 43M M/Y GIO CHI THE AND THE 50M M/Y GAZZELLA), THIS NEW CONSTRUCTION IS DESIGNED BY THE IN-HOUSE DESIGN TEAM AND WILL BE SOON IN THE WATER TO LIVE STORIES OF EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES.
N
o name has still been given to this new yacht, it is waiting for its new owners. But once it will be sold and leave to discover the world, the Codacasa 43 Full Beam, alias Hull C122 - will be the perfect yacht for all the guests who will have the privilege to spend their time aboard. The yacht is able to ensure a safe and comfortable navigation in any weather conditions, with internal volumes just below 500 GRT, remarkable exterior spaces, clean and elegant exterior lines, reasonable consumptions and very high quality standards.
The strong points of this project, compared to the 42 meters version, are the full beam layout of the Owner’s Suite located on the Main Deck forward, the location of the Captain’s Cabin on the Upper Deck at direct contact with the bridge and the installation of a Jacuzzi tub on the Sun Deck.

We visited the yard and could discovered the interiors with great attention: at first time, once you step on board, what you perceive is an atmosphere embellished by details in gold tones, which give the spaces a precise character, dynamic and inspired by optimism. A vibrant energy pervades the cabins, from the main deck to the sleeping area. But if you pay attention, yellow and gold tones are just a decorative choice - easily replaceable in case you prefer a different colour range, since the main fitting along the three decks is in light white colours.
With its timeless line, launched in 2011, this C122 shows all its elegance throughout all spaces, designed with large windows to let natural light shine into the living areas, creating an airy and luminous atmosphere. The exteriors, spacious and designed down to the smallest detail, ensure comfort and total privacy to all the guests.

Main deck
Every piece of furniture chosen for the outdoor areas has been made according to the specific design team's drawings, with armchairs and sofas in teak and resin wood, then lacquered in the same colour as the deckhouse, hull and eternal ceilings. Grey is the main colour chosen for the external areas, enbellished with some details in metal integrated both in the structure of the yacht and in the furniture; as far as the fabrics, yellow and white are the colours with the main decorative function of creating geometries and contrasts within all the spaces.
On the sundeck the Jacuzzi elegantly appears at bow, elegantly integrated in the floor in teak, surrounded by a wide sunbathing area, elevated by three steps above the rest of the deck, which gives this area a central role in the interpreation of the whole design. The TV can be rotated so to be visible from different corners on the deck, from bow to aft. Here another vital sunbathing area is just waiting for its guests for moments of pure relax. Differently from the previous sisterships, C122 is equipped with a rollbar which makes the sundeck more livable.

As to the interiors, the Made in Italy style is perfectly combined with the oriental charm of the little tables, as well as with the other pieces of furniture, inspired by the scenographic decorativism - the dÊcor for dÊcor’s sake - which was typical in the first decades of the past century, and which contributes to create a mix of sophisticated tastes, making the yacht's design look and feeling truly contemporary. White is the dominant colour chosen for the elaborated wood panelling while the wide volumes dedicated to the furniture are purposely directed to the highest level of comfort, for which all Codecasa yachts of the Vintage Series are well renowned. On the main deck the living area is furnished with madeto-measure sofas for up to 9 guests, one bar corner and dining area with a seating capacity for 12. The main salon's flooring is all in whitened oak, which gives the space much more light and lightness. The two-sided pop-up TV screen, integrated in the dividing panel, can be viewed both from the conversation and from the dining area. The elegant play of colours between yellow, ivory and different tones of grey repeat both on the fabrics and on the carpets, which have been custom-made according to specific drawings. In the main salon the storage furniture is by Marioni, the chairs of the dining area are from the collection of Poltrona Frau, while the fabrics are by Chivasso, Jab Jim Thompson and Robert Allen. The galley is situated adjacent to the dining area. It is functional and comfortable to work in, it is fully equipped with Miele and Gaggenau appliances.
The foyer leading to the main deck features Calacatta marble flooring, Marfin cream colour, quartzite and honey onyx. It has been designed to resemble a carpet which leads to the owner's area. The same design is repeated in the foyers of the other two decks.

As the best-in-class descended in September on the Western Mediterranean for another edition of the Monaco Yacht Show, anticipation swelled for the fleet of new launches that promised to deliver technological advances wrapped in other-worldly designs; where rare materials, artisanal techniques and custom furnishings epitomise exclusive luxury.
2018 didn’t disappoint with some of the brightest talents in the industry delivering a sumptuous array of design highlights. Among them, the Rome-based Lazzarini Pickering studio onboard Rossinavi’s M/Y Flying Dagger.
I
f he was an entry in encyclopedias, the description would sound like this "With Sergio Cutolo the world of yachting has had the first model of hybrid boat. His Columbus 40 Sport Hybrid has been the first boat certified by Rina as Hybrid Class". It was the year 2014 when this primacy characterized his career. Since it was established in 1995, his naval engineering and architecture studio, Hydro Tec, has designed almost 100 boats. He is one of the best renown names of the Made in Italy yachting and again, he is going to achieve a further primacy. The 80m megayacht currently under construction at Columbus Yachts - whose delivery date is scheduled in summer 2019, is today the largest boat ever built in Italy completely designed by an external studio, from the naval engineering to the architecture and exteriors. This solid, reputable backgroud allows the firm and to the Cutolo's hand to take full possession of his worktable and draw with awareness and maturity a forward-looking concept of 100 meters in lenght and named Crossbow.

The fully-custom motor yacht was delivered to a private owner in April 2018, making her way to Monaco’s endof-season showcase for her world premiere. While there were many yachts longer than 49.90m on the docks of the postage-stamp principality in September, Flying Dagger was at no point overshadowed. Quite the opposite. With what the shipyard describes as a ‘robust silhouette,’ in the lead-up to the show she was one of the most anticipated launches, while over the four days the yacht attracted a busy flow of VIP guests, industry players and media, keen to glimpse her sleek lines and modern interiors for themselves. Her fully-aluminium exterior, distinguished by her silver superstructure and gleaming navy hull, was designed by Venice’s Team for Design, led by Enrico Gobbi. The naval architects are long-time collaborators with the Italian shipyard and their tri-deck configuration includes a large sundeck with a woven, metallic canopy that provides protection from the sun when needed.

Inside, Flying Dagger bears the Italian-meets-Australian feel that is a trademark of Rome’s Lazzarini Pickering Architetti, with effortless style and a glass-centric luminosity. Her minimalist interior design – characterised by light, metallic tones - seamlessly flows into her exterior areas, thanks to skylights and features including three oversized glass floorto-ceiling doors in the main saloon which, when opened, create an additional alfresco dining space. Light is the central theme in this design process: in the full-beam master suite, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors are the gateway to a private master terrace. But to look beyond the design elements is to discover a versatile yacht designed for some serious world cruising with a range of 3300 nautical miles and a shallow draft which allows for Caribbean island-hopping. Flying Dagger delivers what her name suggests, with top speeds of 31 knots and cruising speeds of 24 knots. Built to fly, with Kamewa waterjet propulsion, careful incorporation of latest developments in noise and vibration reduction means her performance reflects that of a full displacement yacht. All in all, nothing short of another grand design from Rossinavi.

AMER YACHTS | AMER 94 TWIN
A YACHT ON A MISSION LIGHTER BY THE WEIGHT OF FOUR ELEPHANTS, THE BRAND NEW AMER 94 TWIN IS EQUIPPED WITH A SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGICAL INSTRUMENT TO PROTECT MARINE WILDLIFE. THE SYSTEM CAN ALSO REMIND CAPTAINS TO CRUISE BELOW 15 KNOTS IN MARINE SANCTUARIES AND AREAS RICH WITH WILDLIFE, IN ORDER TO AVOID THE EVER-INCREASING RISK OF COLLISION WITH CETACEANS.
I
t was last October when the Sanremo-based yard, led by the Amerio family, started the construction of the yacht that today has been recognized as the most innovative vessel launched in 2018.
Last autumn, we participated in an event at the Yacht Club in Sanremo, organized by the shipyard in cooperation with Volvo Penta and the Tethys Research Institute. Having just arrived at the train station, we ordered a taxi to the location: "to Amer Yachts, please!" But the driver did not know that place and had never heard of that name. We were very much surprised since the yard is a historical firm in Italy with decades and decades of activity behind it. Then we specified that the Amer-branded yachts are built by Permare Group. At the sound of "Permare", the driver immediately reacted with a big smile. "Of course, Permare!", he said. "I know them well. Everybody here knows the family. I did not know they build with that brand". Before we plunge into the story of the boat, I first want to make an observation about what it is that makes the Italian country so renowned among the rest of the world. It is the passion of the small enterprises, not the ones with big, impressivesounding names, but the ones led by a family and a group of dedicated workers, who with
great willpower and the spirit of research, try to go that little bit further, challenging themselves every time. It doesn't take much, apparently. The second observation regards ordinary, village people. Those who live their daily lives according to everyday objects, sunrises and sunsets. In the end, we do not need anything more. That's why the taxi driver did not know about the brand, he just knew the firm. Amer is a brand, after all, Permare is the family.
There is always a little magic around the story of a new Amer. Every project has its specific mission, but they all have the same reason for being in common. Every Amer derives from the desire to create a product and is able to endorse a clear message, around which the product is built. So, why are we talking about a mission? Because upon every launch, Barbara Amerio, at the head of the family company Permare-Amer Yachts, always uses the same expression: "We've got it again this time! We wanted to build a new, innovative, real revolutionary boat, to explore new boundaries, we did not know if we would succeed, but we did!".
The Amer 94 Twin won the category "Environmental Initiative" at the Boat Builder Awards in 2018.

THE PHILOSOPHY REFLECTED IN THE DESIGN "In designing the new Amer 94, we wanted to create a yacht that is sustainable in many aspects," says Barbara Amerio. "We began the design process a year ago in collaboration with Volvo Penta and other companies. And in that one year, we turned dreams into reality and proved that it is possible to have a sustainable superyacht with today’s technology". The shipyard’s environmentally friendly approach is promoted and reflected in the Amer 94 Twin’s design which features green tones throughout both its exterior and interior.
BUILT TO REDUCE ITS
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Amer Yachts have collaborated with Volvo Penta to create the Amer 94, a superyacht that focuses on sustainability at sea with the use of lightweight, environmentally-friendly materials and highly efficient propulsion which harnesses Volvo Penta’s twin D13-IPS1350.
The selection of the engines and variable speed generators contribute to reduced fuel consumption. Moreover, the deck is covered with cork instead with teak, and other recycled and recyclable fabrics are utilised throughout the vessel. The yard also used a submarine film instead of traditional antifouling (a protective film on the hull that eliminates the yearly cost for antifouling) as well as other special eco-friendly solutions.
THE 100-MILE CHALLENGE Built as an expression of the pioneering spirit of the yard, which made the yacht deserve the Rina Green Plus class notation at the latest Genoa International Boat Show, the Amer 94 Twin was the protagonist of a pioneering experiment along the coast of North West Italy which saw Volvo Penta and Amer Yachts teaming up to demonstrate that the combination of a premium propulsion system and innovative boat design can create superyachts that deliver exceptional fuel efficiency. A controlled 100-mile journey from Viareggio to Sanremo saw the Amer 94 reduce its fuel consumption by up to 45 percent compared to yachts fitted with traditional inboard shaft installation. These remarkable results are due to the craft’s lightweight design and the installation of the efficient and compact Volvo Penta IPS, which together slash the weight of the yacht by 20 tonnes – the weight of four elephants.
NON-STOP NAVIGATION WITHOUT REFUEL
The lower fuel consumption allows owners and guests to cruise for longer. The Amer 94 Twin can cruise at 9 knots from Sanremo to Venice, a distance exceeding 1,600 nautical miles, without refuelling.
INNOVATION IN A PRODUCTION PROCESS
Working with the La Spezia-based company Superfici, Amer Yachts has also introduced its first 3D printed components on the fly deck of the new Amer. The printed helm console is in ABS and PET material and accommodates all high technology instruments and the Volvo Penta joystick.
PRESERVING MARINE WILDLIFE For their Amer 94 superyacht, Amer Yachts have created onboard software which allows those on board boats to send data, including the GPS position, relating to the mammals and fish they see, to the Tethys Research Institute, an Italian organization dedicated to oceanic conservation. The intention behind this is to help their customers recognize the marine wildlife they spot and to share details with the Institute for research purposes. The system also has a speed indicator to remind the captain to cruise below 15 knots when entering the Pelagos Sanctuary, in consideration of the area’s large population of cetaceans.
“We want to help amplify the research of the institute. If we all adopt a respectful attitude to our activities on the water, it will not only help preserve marine wildlife but will also give future generations the pleasure of interacting well with nature", says Barbara Amerio. “This system shows boaters how to behave sympathetically in the presence of animals and will be a great contribution to science. It allows them to become citizen scientists,” explains Sabina Airoldi, Marine Biologist at the Tethys Research Institute.

CUSTOM LINE EXPANDS A SUCCESSFUL RANGE WITH ITS CHARISMATIC FLAGSHIP NAVETTA 42
T
he Ferretti Group’s Navetta 42 was just over two years in the making: the semi-custom superyacht was first announced in February 2016, sold to an Italian client in July 2017, built at the Group’s facilities in Ancona, and launched in June 2018. Bearing the prestigious Custom Line logo, it premiered at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2018 and was also shown off amongst the giants at Monaco Yacht Show 2018.
Custom Line’s latest baby is hardly what you’d call small: the 42 model (at 41.8 metres LOA) is the brand’s biggest launch to date; the first above 300GT. The fuel storage of 37,000 litres means that like the Navetta 37, this model offers a transatlantic range of over 3,000 nautical miles, at a cruising speed of 10 knots – a comfortable ride thanks to three-square-metre fin stabilisers by Naiad Dynamics. This unit’s top speed is a respectable 16 knots. Custom Line offers a choice between four sets of twin engines for the 42. But seaworthy performance is just one of the key touchstones of the project’s philosophy. The Italian term navetta in yachting traditionally means a particular class of bluewater trawler cruiser – strong, safe wave-piercers that weren’t necessarily known for being easy on the eye. Custom Line’s Navetta range expands the definition: these are superbly good-looking, elegant craft. They also prioritise innovation in design, as well as guest comfort in layout, furnishing and facilities. The yard is proud of this latest release as “a showcase for design in motion, sophisticated elegance, and extraordinary performance”.
Interior and exterior styling is customisable, but the first unit was a two-year collaboration between Zuccon International Project, and the Ferretti Group’s Strategic Product Committee, led by engineer Piero Ferrari, of the sports car dynasty.
ISMATIC
Like its near-sister ships, the smaller Navetta 33 and Navetta 37, the Navetta 42 features an elegant above-water profile combined with a characteristic bulbous bow for maximum efficiency in any sea conditions. Visually, long window panels contrast with the cladding to create strong lines inside a bold but classic form: a semi-displacement hull presenting a solid profile, conveying a sense of strength on the water.
Like the previous two models in the Custom Line range, the Navetta 42 is fully customisable when it comes to internal layout and styling. Designers have made use of the boat’s 8.10-metre beam to maximise the generous volume over four decks, for guests and owners to enjoy in ultimate comfort. The impressive room lengths, and ceiling heights of over two metres in interior spaces, really make for ultimate liveability – total privacy for owner and guests, and freedom of movement for the captain and crew. When it comes to furnishings and decorations, the first unit of the Navetta 42’s colours, finishes and materials, as well as its many free-standing solutions and interior furnishings, were chosen in collaboration with Italian architecture and design firm Studio Luca Bombassei.
Main deck, main salon
CLASSIC
Attention to colour harmonies shows in the interior timber choices: this unit has walnut and dark oak interiors, combining with the lacquered ceilings, bronze-toned brushed steel fittings like handles and handrails, and modern mirrorfinish steel for the doors. The main colour tones range from grey to beige, with teal accents that recur in the unique sundeck furniture (from Roda’s latest collection), the upper deck’s lush carpets and cushions, and even the main deck’s formal dining table.

The Navetta 42’s impressive lift is a standout, with configurations available to take guests from the lower deck all the way up to the sundeck – which you’ll discover features four fully customisable areas over a total surface of 92 square metres, including a bar, sunpad and a Jacuzzi with 360-degree views.
Heading down to the upper deck, there is a spacious panoramic saloon, with chairs and sofas by 70-year-old Italian brand Minotti. The drop-down retractable television rotates 180 degrees for viewing from the living area or from the alfresco area. Floor-to-ceiling windows open onto side walkways, leading to a private panoramic terrace on the port side and to the forward area on the starboard. It’s here that we find one of the Navetta 42’s most talked-about features: between the cockpit and the saloon there is a glass door that opens completely to create one continuous cockpit, saloon and outdoor space. The mechanism uses four glass surfaces that slide electrically while rotating on side hinges. The integrated bridge, developed together with Teamitalia, is equipped with five monitors including two touchscreens, an innovative stretched screen display, a virtual keyboard, and a FAR radar. A private captain’s cabin adjoins the bridge.
Owner's studio
ACCESS
The owner’s suite, located on the main deck, stretches to 50 square metres including sitting area, studio space, two walk-in wardrobes and a lavish bathroom with dual WCs. But the star of the space is the innovative pull-out balcony, developed in collaboration with Fratelli Canalicchio and fitted on request, providing horizon access, suspended above the water, all without leaving the privacy of the suite.

Also on the main deck is the 11-metre-long living area which, care of an electric glass door, expands seamlessly to connect the spacious and fully customisable aft cockpit, fitted with an electric canopy. The saloon hosts a formal dining table seating six and a panoramic balcony adjoins on the starboard side.
Versatile layout of the lower deck means a choice of four VIP staterooms (two king and two twin) or five standard ensuite cabins, plus a separate crew area with berths for four to crew members. Aft, there is a large sea-level entertaining space and a beach club that cleverly opens up to fold out over the sea. The sideopening garage keeps tenders and toys out of the way, and boasts an efficient semi-floodable launch and retrieval system. Additionally there is storage and crane for a secondary tender on the foredeck. The Navetta 42 features some seriously advanced soundproofing similar to that seen on the 120 planing model. The engineering team carried out mathematical analyses for each and every noise source and its location on board, to minimise phonic impact.
Upper deck, panoramic salon
To dampen the impact of propulsion engines while underway – and generators at other times – this model offers improved noise isolation between engine room and living space, thanks to a special flexible joint in the transmission lines that absorbs vibrations from the axis line. The teams behind the Navetta 42 were aiming for a family superyacht with a modern, innovative and eclectic ambiance, and a contemporary vibe with furnishing both elegant and practical. It looks like they’ve succeeded in style.

S
hrouded in secrecy, Princess Yacht’s innovative R35 sports yacht was finally unveiled at the 2018 Cannes Yachting Festival. Designed in collaboration with Ben Ainslie Racing (BAR) Technologies and Italian car designer Pininfarina, the result is a seductive combination of sport and style. In World War I, bright geometric designs provided the most unlikely of disguises for the British Royal Navy. The opposite of discreet, the dazzle camouflage that adorned its ships was designed to confuse the enemy, and in doing so prevent them from gauging important details of the vessel, such as its size and speed. One hundred years later in Plymouth, the birthplace of razzle dazzle (as the tactic is also called), students at the Plymouth College of Art were tasked to create a similar design for a revolutionary new class of yacht in construction at Princess Yachts. The successful concept, a brilliant mosaic of colour, proved a master-stroke for the British yacht manufacturer, leaving boating enthusiasts and industry stalwarts impatient to learn more about the R Class. The wait was finally over at Cannes, and, of all the world premieres at the 2018 show, the Princess R35 was arguably the most anticipated. In the stately surrounds of Château de La Napoule, with a stunning panorama of the Bay of Cannes at Mandelieu-laNapoule, Princess had found a fitting venue to unveil its “sexy little model,” as Executive Chairman Antony Sheriff referred to it at the launch. The tone was old versus new, the historic castle a setting to meet a thoroughly modern Princess, a yacht for the future. The evening before, the R35 had been craned in under a cloak of darkness – placed as a centrepiece around which, the following night, music and wine flowed for assembled media and invited VIP guests. As the sun set, the spotlight fell on the star of the show and the world finally met its newest Princess.

POWER AND PERFORMANCE: THE PRINCESS R35 The specs demonstrate just how innovative this performance sports yacht is. Developed with BAR Technologies, the Princess Active Foil System (AFS) gives the R35 top speeds of 50 knots – making it the fastest Princess Yacht ever made all without compromising on comfort or stability. She may be lightning fast, but the R35 is every bit your typical Princess. “She's beautiful. She has all the qualities that make a Princess a Princess. The intelligent layout, the usefulness. This is a boat that you really can use. It's not just another pretty face,” Sheriff said at the launch. The interior seating area can transform into a double berth and there is also a galley and en-suite.
The sleek, fully carbon-fibre hull designed by Pininfarina further enhances the function-meets-beauty nature of the yacht: the “same materials that in a past life we used to construct the Mercedes SLR McLaren,” Sheriff, the exManaging Director of the supercar brand, adds. And she’s powered by V8 engines too.
The first year’s production was sold out before release “What I love about this particular project is that it's this massive injection of sexy and cool in a way that hasn't been explored quite so right in the yachting industry until now,” says Kiran Haslam, Marketing Director at Princess Yachts. He tells Superyacht Digest that the R35 is a yacht for anybody who appreciates design, comfort, and performance. “It’s very hard to design something that comes across with simplicity. It’s very simple to design something that is very complicated”, Haslam continues. “The R35 is a yacht for anybody who understands that; even if they don't see the detail, they feel it”. This, Kiran tells us, is the essence of real luxury.
SUPERYACHT DIGEST |

It’s exactly this feeling that Haslam believes will ensure this is one Princess never short of suitors. “This isn’t a yacht for a customer who already knows Princess, they're going to want that no matter what; rather for somebody who's not considered boating at all, to look at the details and just feel it. To walk in there and go wow this is spectacular and then get on board and try it”.

DOMINATOR ILUMEN
EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED
© Mark Sims
DOMINATOR’S NEW CADET V BOASTS SUMPTUOUS FINISHES AND SOME REMARKABLE FINE ART PIECES IN AN AIRY MINIMALIST LAYOUT, AS BRITTANY COOPER DISCOVERS.
A
n elegant sense of space, lush styling and fine art curation cannot just be tacked on to the end of a new build process, even for a semi-custom line. All these elements must be explored in advance to form a harmonious whole.
A perfect example of this is the two newest offerings from Dominator’s 28-metre semicustom Ilumen range. Zalanka and sister ship Cadet V were premiered by the Austrianowned, Italian-based shipyard at the 2018 Cannes Yachting Festival and Monaco Yacht Show.
Both vessels offer superyacht features in a 28-metre configuration. They embody the philosophy of this bespoke yacht builder, which uses advanced technology and master craftsmanship to produce one-off works of art, comfort and sophistication. Let’s take a closer look at Cadet V, this latest four-cabin version Ilumen. Built to the same standards as the previous four hulls in the
range, but custom-fitted to the experienced owner’s particular requirements, Cadet V has an efficient semi-displacement hull with exterior lines penned by Alberto Mancini. Naval architecture by Navalhead, and she has a top speed of 21 19 knots and a cruising speed of 14 11 knots, as specified by the owner.
Stepping inside, Cadet V is an example of harmonious comfort and style, to a level of luxury quite unexpected on a yacht of this size. It’s clear much consideration went into the selection of fine woods used to dress this yacht, with tones of grey and blue oak from the Lissoni Collection, and blue palisander created especially for the client. This attention to detail extends to the stitching of the sofa and the custom colour and design of the handmade parquet, with tones of Amara ebony, grey and blue oak from the Lissoni Collection, and blue palisander wood created especially for the client. These contrast gorgeously with the white onyx and brown pearl marble with wavy veins that resemble the sea. 127
SUPERYACHT DIGEST |

Details matter: even the stitching of the sofa and the custom colour and design of the handmade chocolate oak parquet have been carried out with care. Cadet V accommodates eight guests across her four cabins, plus a crew quarters sleeping threefour. The owner’s suite on the main deck is unusually spacious for this size yacht, thanks to the sacrificing of a day head and redesigning of the galley and exterior layout. It boasts a private balcony and 270-degree view of the sea. This and the skylight above the owner’s bed, reflect the prioritisation of natural light and contact with nature. Located on the lower deck are a full-beam master and two VIP cabins. The owner’s wish for a family feeling was behind the customisation of the cabins. Each is assigned a distinctive hue from a palette of violet, red and blue tones. Luxurious suede by Foglizzo complements the colour schemes.
One key on a yacht of this size is ensuring areas are multifunctional where possible, to suit cosy, formal or festive occasions. You can see this in the light-filled saloon, where the centre table folds and rotates into a dining table or cocktail table, or can be lowered to serve as an afternoon coffee table. Poltrona Frau custom-designed fauteuils and other pieces on board are movable so the furniture arrangement is entirely fluid. Luca Catino, who designed the interiors, explains his in-depth process of consultation: “The interior design of Cadet V stems from a special meeting with the owner of the boat, in which the concept, lines to follow and colour preferences were defined [...] This close collaboration with the customer has determined choices ranging from colour shades to the functional needs of the boat. Nothing was left to chance”, he adds.

SUPERYACHT DIGEST |

Catino takes particular inspiration from Scandinavian interior design, in which the spaces are enhanced by contrast, and by the cleanness of the simple geometry. For Cadet V, Catino drew on the work of Ukrainian Kiev-based architect Sergey Makhno, where “essential lines and colours make ‘less’ the most powerful direction of the project”.
Also notable is the use of materials of extreme richness and contrast. Precious stones, matching onyx, agate, sit alongside the rare marble. Dark blues and greys butt up against warm shades in fabrics from the latest Hermès and Dedar collections. A defining element of Catino’s work on Cadet V is the client’s strong passion for art – apparent ever since their very first meetings. This is an owner who sees his yacht as an extension of his home life, so it’s safe to assume he is a serious collector.
The resulting oeuvre is a fusion of the pieces of art with the geometries and the functionalities of the spaces. Catino has tried to foreground these unique pieces in each space as much as possible. A sculpture by renowned Lorenzo Quinn, and two impressive pieces by Stefano Curto featuring thousands of his trademark colourful Swarovski crystals, take pride of place in the refined interior. Curto’s bold work adorns the bulkheads in prime positions. “His alchemy-like art mesmerises the senses and converts the ambient into light-infused space dancing with the waves, emotions and colours”, Catino effuses.
In the owner’s cabin Curto’s threedimensional Amniotic Stardust glitters with 164,842 Swarovski crystals in a form that resembles a heart pulsing with red magma.

It is the artist’s take on a memento mori, inspired by a blood-red image from the Hubble Space Telescope showing a star that is about to explode. Equally eye-catching, an enormous piece from his Thetart series was created especially to hang in pride of place in this yacht’s saloon, where its shimmering blues will be admired by the guests over lunch or dinner. “Thetart is a work of geometry that comes from a state of meditation. Each one represents an intense emotion”, Curto shares. The Lorenzo Quinn piece, Love the World, sits on a specially-designed marble coffee table in the saloon. His art conveys a powerful message regarding the importance of love for family and nature: “Just as we protect and care for our home we must care for and protect the home we all live in”, the sculptor explains.
The bathrooms feature handmade mosaics by Sicis, while pearl grey parquet, accentuated by darker ‘comento’ edging, provides a soft canvas for the striking blue agate recessed on the bulkheads of the master cabin and lower deck lobby. “An Ilumen is not off the rack, but made-to-measure”, says Angela Pernsteiner, Dominator Yachts’ CEO. “We collaborate with the best experts in their fields to ensure we are at the cutting edge of engineering and design, so that we can offer yachts that are powerful, thrilling, beautiful and safe beyond what has previously been seen in this segment of the market”. In Cadet V, Dominator has delivered more than just a unique 28-metre yacht in a convenient, practical package. Thanks to a considered collaboration, hull five of the Ilumen range is both floating artwork and gallery in one.

riginally contracted to Mondomarine and with her construction beginning in Savona in early 2015, when the shipyard faced financial difficulties, the 40-metre explorer project was moved to Viareggio for completion at the CBI Navi yard in 2017. Built to RINA class, Stella di Mare features naval architecture and exterior design by HydroTec. Her classic silhouette is enhanced with a contemporary edge and she sports the full displacement steel hull and bulbous bow which you would expect on a long-range explorer vessel. With the family previously owning a Darwin 96’ (built by Cantiere delle Marche), they were looking for a superyacht with increased interior volume and storage space to suit their desire to spend up to four months on board each year - notably for their upcoming trip to the Arctic Circle later this year. With this in 135
mind, comfort and self-sufficiency were key requirements for their next vessel, as well as being able to deliver on the technical side.
Thankfully, technically, Stella di Mare does deliver. With power provided by twin 1000 hp Caterpillar engines, she can achieve a maximum speed of 14 knots and a cruising speed of 10.5 knots, with her generous range of 6,900 nautical miles ideal for an explorer vessel. Another aspect of Stella di Mare which makes her stand out from the crowd can be found in her full-custom interior design. Commissioned by her owners from the drawing boards of the Turin-based studio, Fossati Design Bureau, her design combines timeless Italian style with fresh, contemporary features which complement her bold exterior.

Stepping inside, Stella di Mare can accommodate 14 guests in a master suite on the forward main deck and four cabins on the lower deck. The formal saloon, coming complete with a double 'L' shaped sofa, is connected to the dining area which contains a unique design feature: a bulkhead, custom designed by Fossati in brushed bronze and wenge and featuring a huge circular map of the world by the London-based company, Bellerby & Co, with a large globe by the same company in pride of place in the sky lounge.
The principal wood found in her interior design is warm walnut which is deliberately cut to expose its distinctive flame pattern and densely striped grain, with tinted cherry and wenge inserts used for the flooring. Notably too, rather than the more traditional marble, the owners used a laminated porcelain stoneware called Kerlite for the wet surfaces of the bathrooms and dayheads. 137
To find out more, we sat down with interior designer Umberto Fossati to learn how Stella di Mare’s interior styling took shape. Q: Why do you think the owners of Stella di Mare chose to commission Fossati Design Bureau for the interior design?
A: I think this was because of the way we think about our projects: we don’t just follow a set ‘style’ from the studio which is similar for every project but it is always tailored to the client. We always start by focusing the project on an exact period’s style, thanks to our knowledge of architectural history, and then personalise it with the influence of another period, always keeping the ‘master’ style period clear. I also think we were chosen because of the way we consider the interior architecture before the interior decor and because of our attention to detail.

Q: Tell me more about your working relationship with the owners: did they have exacting requirements for the interior design? A: The owners wanted to have a yacht of substance which was not just about appearance; her style is not ‘trendy’ but timeless with a clear imprint of Italian elegance and a touch of formality on the main deck appropriate for the business which they will conduct onboard.
We needed to meet the requirements of the three generations who will live onboard: from a seven-year-old grandchild to a 76-year-old grandfather! The owners requested that we bring onboard some details from one of our previous interior design projects which they really loved: Galileo G - built by Perini Navi in 2011 - such as the ceiling and floor design.
Q: Stella di Mare is not just for show: she is an explorer vessel which will be covering some serious mileage in the years to come, including a trip to the Arctic Circle. How did this factor impact the interior design? A: We had to ensure that we had adequate space for all the technical staff needed onboard for the long range expeditions which she will undertake. We were also aware that, during long trips we could also come across rough seas: the owners were not scared of this but enjoyed testing their explorer in these conditions. Consequently, we included systems to fix things into storage and a safe shutter/door closing system to face this situation. All free standing furniture is fixed on the floor and all of the installations we have done are customised against vibrations. 139
Q: What are the standout interior design features on Stella di Mare? A: In the upper deck interior lounge we’ve included a built-in space on the bulkhead for artwork. It is currently being utilised for the owners’ private collection of antique Venetian prints, but it is already being envisioned that it will be used for a growing collection of post-war period paintings. For the kids’ cabin we designed a custom print integrated on the wardrobe bulkhead with their favourite cartoon characters. We were also careful to check the colour changes of any interior materials (wood, leather and so on) to see what they would look like after stabilisation, so the chosen shades will continue to match in the future.
Q: How do you feel about your work on Stella di Mare now she is in the hands of her owners? A: After delivery, her owners told me, “we already feel as if we have been living on board for a long time [...] we feel completely at home”. Now all they need to do is to enjoy the purpose for which they built her: going on adventures. Stella di Mare was designed without thinking about trends but achieves a timeless style, containing a truly balanced mixture between classic and contemporary shapes.

his is the story of a family run business started 50 years ago in the field of the marine accessories. Since 1968 Guidi has been specialising in the production of bronze, brass, chromeplated, nickel-plated and aluminium accessories, non-stick valves, water intakes, thru-hulls, water strainers and pipe fittings. Based in Grignasco in the North of Italy, the company celebrated its 50th anniversary by organizing an event in line with its philosophy and values: reliability, passion, commitment, quality and innovation have also been the strengths that enabled the company to develop over the years, from its territory to the current global presence in the nautical world, establishing itself as one of the most known and respected “Made in Italy� brands. 141
Art, environment, society, sport and products are the five founding pillars of Guidi’s corporate culture. These themes were at the core of the exhibition-event held in Milan to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the company: the event was organized as an art exhibition, involving all the Italian and International artists, who over the last decade have collaborated with Guidi to express all the company's values, and that now are part of the its art collection. The company works with and supports numerous Italian and foreign artists, accompanying them on a captivating journey in which the nautical industry and Guidi products blend with sculpture, design, photography and art, creating opportunities for striking communicative impact.

Production-wise Guidi is taking particular care of relationships with employees, clients, suppliers and partners: long lasting fidelity, with employees retired after 40 years of work in the company, low personnel turnover and low number of on-the-job injuries are the main evidences of this. Guidi is putting local suppliers first, and is constantly committed to innovation by developing new products, by itself or jointly with other companies, or improving the already existing ones. 143

In summer 2017, the American photographer Jill Mathis went on a series of trips to some of the most important Italian shipyards, in which Guidi products are used every day. The photographic journey is an expedition into the heart of the Made in Italy. The beauty of the design merges with the robust and functional structure of every single product, to create marvellous objects (boats), which give their very best when they start doing what they were designed for: sailing. The photographs of this expedition gave life to the book created for the 50th anniversary of the company.

In social Guidi is partner to numerous local NGOs, that are carrying on many and diverse projects. In sports the company is sponsoring a cycling team and a rally team.
Guidi is also environmentally focused: the company is recycling the water used in the factory and disposes used oil through dedicated systems.
Around 30% of annual energy needs is supplied by solar panels placed on the factory roof, whose daily production is 375 kwh. The company is also supporting 4Ocean and Treedom initiatives.

Among the hallmark features of Guidi is undoubtedly the company’s impressive reliability, a value that in its 50 years in business has made it one of the Italian nautical brands that commands the greatest respect. When designing its products, Guidi takes care to ensure their life cycle is increasingly sustainable. Each product is extremely durable, with excellent quality and function guaranteed, and maintains the physical and mechanical characteristics of the materials it is made of. Products require very little ordinary maintenance while in use. Because of how simple it is to separate the component parts at the disassembly stage, the life span of the materials can be extended beyond the duration of the individual components.

Marco Lodola has taken on the task of creating a work that conveys the intrinsic dynamism of Bruno Guidi’s company in a realm that ventures beyond the present. The artist has pictured a motorboat from the future: a vessel of light that appears to speed across the waves like a powerful electric wake. Symbolically, the artwork by Gilmour represents the past of the company, interpreting the term in its richer and more valuable meaning: the roots, values, wisdom, experience. On the contrary, the artwork by Lodola represents the future, full of unknowns and uncertainties, but also of opportunities and challenges, that encourage us to do more and better and better.

At the end of their useful life, thanks to processes that allow for the creation of secondary raw materials, all the products are almost completely recyclable. Research is being carried out in the company into the life cycle of the products, with a view to identifying any critical phases or problems connected with the environment. The data that emerge from these analyses will be used to make further pertinent improvements, from the design stage through to sale.
Linking up with the question of duration and the passing of time, at the METS 2018 - the trade show for marine accessories (Amsterdam) - Guidi exhibited works from the photographic project “Vanitas. The time, the silence and the ephemeral” by photographer Enrica Pastore. 147
“Vanitas... This is the name given to still life paintings that, with refinement and thin symbols, allude to the theme of the caducity of life, to the ephemeral condition of existence, to the passage of time and to the temporariness of earthly goods. This type of painting emerged in the Dutch Golden Age, which encompasses most of the 17th century", explains the photographer. The “Guidi collection”, formed by a significant number of works by Italian and international artists, includes all 23 images that make up the Vanitas project, which are also collected in a book available at the Rijksmuseum Research Library in Amsterdam, forming a sort of virtual bridge between Italy and the Dutch capital (The photographic project Vanitas is published on superyachtdigest.com).

A new concept, but moreover a new trend
LUXURY MAY BE IN EACH DETAIL BUT, IN YACHTING, IT IS ALSO DEFINED BY POSSIBILITY AND ROSETTI SUPERYACHTS’ 52M SUPPLY VESSEL CONCEPT ISN’T SHORT OF EITHER.
T
he result of the Italian shipyard’s partnership with designer Giovanni Griggio of Phi Design Lab, the latest concept from Rosetti Superyachts (RSY) offers a variety of customisable design solutions which Chairman Fulvio Dodich introduced at its Monaco Yacht Show premiere. “The big living area outside can become a lounge or it is very easily adapted for a touch-andgo helicopter”, he explained at the launch. At 142-sqm in size, the aftdeck is indeed generously sized and is just one aspect of the yacht that can be optimised to exact owner requirements.
The doors of the aft tender garage open on both sides to transform into a stunning full-beam, 80-sqm beach club area, while the option of an open-air cinema also exists for the sundeck. 149
Along with all the expected storage space, the vessel is finished to superyacht standards and features a full-beam master stateroom with a study, walk-in wardrobe and even a private hammam.
“The choice of material is practically infinite”, he said. On the lower deck, an additional four cabins, crew berths, gym, and spa area are located. It’s an impressive feat to achieve such a list of amenities on a yacht below 500 gross tonnage. In fact, the very definition of a supply vessel may be to act as a support to the main yacht, yet with this model, RSY has essentially revealed a primary vessel in its own right. It was a fact not lost on Fulvio Dodich as he spoke of not just “a new concept, but moreover a new trend”.

Inspired by the organic structures of leaves
“WE ARE A FORWARDLOOKING SHIPYARD AND WE LOVE TO WORK WITH DIFFERENT ARCHITECTS TO OFFER DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO THE SAME CATEGORY OF YACHTS”, DODICH SAID. “IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO DEMONSTRATE OUR FLEXIBILITY IN OFFERING DIFFERENT SUPPLY VESSEL CONCEPTS”.
SUPERYACHT DIGEST |
January 2019
Giovanni Griggio is the third designer RSY has collaborated with for supply vessel concepts, a deliberate move by a yacht builder who believes that each firm brings its own imagination to both the design and life on board.
As seen elsewhere at Monaco – most notably on board Oceanco’s M/Y DAR - yacht design is returning to nature and, for this particular project, Giovanni turned to the beauty of leaves. “The bio-mimicry that characterises some of the exterior areas, for example, was inspired by the organic structures of leaves”, he explained. The decoration is repeated throughout the vessel: along the bulwark, in the tender garage/beach club, and as a stainless steel work of art that also serves as the divider between the internal living and dining areas. 150
It’s been quite the launch for RSY: in less than two years, the shipyard has already stirred up the market with supply vessel concepts that transcend tradition. Fulvio Dodich acknowledges that Rosetti Superyachts is drawing upon the heritage and extensive engineering expertise of its parent, Rosetti Marino SpA, to build what is “more or less forbidden to anyone else”, he says. “For us, there is no sailing limitation”. Yet, while at RSY anything is possible for its clients, Dodich has one single target in his sights. “We have the vision to be the excellence in the marine universe”.

This is by nature a stealthy concept, but without a stereotypically stealthy appearance at all. The design is all about light, and was inspired by the architecture of cityscapes – glassy-surfaced skyscrapers that make a statement with their very presence; that at once blend in with the sky and pierce it, changing it in their own image. “Mirage was designed to bind seemingly opposite and contrary forces,” Tracey-Jayne Canavaggio explains. “One is to anchor its presence in the landscape, the other is to disappear by reflecting its surroundings”.
multi-million-dollar, state-of-the-art superyacht that’s not a flashy vehicle of vanity, but designed to blend in with its surroundings. Is that an oxymoron, or an idea whose time has come? Either way, 106-metre luxury superyacht concept Mirage made a splash upon its release on the first day of the Monaco Yacht Show 2018. This is a superyacht that’s all but invisible to the naked eye at distances over 50 metres because of its special reflective glass cladding. The 4,200GT craft is supposed to disappear into the sky and blend into the horizon, making it particularly appealing for the more privacy-conscious billionaires (and particularly daunting, perhaps, for deckhands to maintain).
“We just wanted to make the lines of the yacht float in air”, adds Pieter van Geest. “A similar experience is created by Anish Kapoor’s reflective artwork [The Bean] in Chicago. Most yachts nowadays stand out and break the horizon or the landscape, in a way, we have tried to minimise this effect. To make that happen and still keep the interior volumes we needed to use the mirror effects”.
The Mirage blueprints were developed specially for Fincantieri Yachts over two years by Dutch studio Van Geest Design’s partners, Pieter van Geest and Tracey-Jane Canavaggio. The Eindhoven-Amsterdam-based studio has a reputation for its bold designs, like the 2016 collaboration with Oceanco on 90-metre Moonstone.

According to van Geest, the greatest portion of the development period was spent researching the reflective glass, where to source it and exactly how it could be used. The colour-variable mirrored glass selected is developed by a German glass manufacturer, and has never been used on yachts before. All the vertical panels on the yacht will have this dichroic finish. While van Geest maintains Mirage’s mirror effect will work from any distance at all (“Even on deck it will look like the deck above you is floating!”) the 50-metre point is probably the right distance from which to see the entire yacht and the comprehend its effects.
The copious vertical panels of coloured mirrored glass that create the whole illusion of disappearance on the exterior are also used internally for the columns and bulkheads. Many of these rectangular glass panels can slide aside to open up the interior to the sea and sky.
The result is a paradoxical sense of freedom, of exhibition, in multi-functional spaces that can be made totally private, as the reflective glass shields all from prying eyes – and drones. The owner’s deck has a full-beam stateroom and a full-beam spa with graduated electric privacy glass offering views out to sea. Certain surfaces seem to dissolve into nothing, and it’s hard to say what’s real, reflected, or imagined.
The interior colour palette offers shades you’d find in a glacial riverbed: cool pastels, celeste, turquoise. The impression is reinforced by the asymmetrical shapes of the statement furniture: soft organic curves reminiscent of rounded river stones.
ONE IS TO ANCHOR ITS PRESENCE IN THE LANDSCAPE, THE OTHER IS TO DISAPPEAR BY REFLECTING ITS SURROUNDINGS.
153
A NEW BENCHMARK FOR BEAUTY AND LUXURY ON THE SEA The thinking behind revisiting basic primal forms is to evoke a sense of exploration and discovery. In fact, the actual name, Tuhura is derived from the Maori verb meaning "to discover, bring to light, unearth, open up, explore, and investigate".
Other standout features are the outdoor theatre on the sundeck, foldaway cinema, modern amenities, uncluttered minimalist surfaces in multi-functional spaces, and the unimpeded views on the outer decks offered by transparent barriers fore and aft. There is a fold-out beach club amidships, with ladder into the water. And of course, an essential for the privacy-thirsty: a helipad.
attention”, explains van Geest. “Owning a superyacht already makes you stand out. Some yachts are at the pinnacle of opulence. They will dominate the view that others have of the horizon. In a way, Mirage tries to blend in with the surroundings so it will be less dominant and will respect the environment around it for its co-users. This will also reflect on the client: there are people who don’t need or want the live in the spotlight”.
This initial design has six decks and seven cabins, as well as berths for a crew of 29. Although it has been designed to comply with the Large Yacht Code and therefore carry 12 passengers, Fincantieri Yachts reps don’t bat an eyelid at the idea of bumping up guest numbers. After all, its parent company is the largest shipbuilder in Europe, with decades of experience handling enormous commercial and military builds. The company says that upon request Mirage can easily be designed according to the Passenger Yacht Code to accommodate 14 guests – or even up to 36 – with “the highest level of luxury lifestyle standards”.
The shipyard’s stated goal is “Whatever her size, each of our yachts aims to be not just a leap forward in technology, design and aesthetics but a new benchmark for beauty and luxury on the sea”. According to Daniele Fanara, the company’s Senior Vice President Newbuilding Mega Yacht, “The challenge at the heart of every new project is creating something unique as to concept and execution. We believe that Mirage perfectly fits this goal”.
The long and sleek hull cuts the water with a bulbous plumb bow – in harmony with the superstructure’s lines – which also of course maximises waterline length and the speed of the displacement hull. Maximum speed is 19 knots, and at a cruising speed of 14 knots a range of 5,500nm is expected. Specifications list twin 4,600hp diesel engines and bow and stern thrusters.
The team had a particular kind of UHNW client in mind when designing the Mirage, a yacht that has the opposite kind of presence to most superyachts. “Not everybody wants – or needs – to be the centre of 154
Fincantieri Yachts says the project is receiving “certain interest” from the market, and that the advanced design work already carried out will allow for a prompt start on customisation, for a fully bespoke superyacht. The project would take three and a half years to construct at the Fincantieri’s Muggiano shipyard.
Van Geest’s take on this challenge? “We find ourselves not just designing a yacht, but designing and creating experiences”.
I for one hope this idea becomes reality; and for the chance to spot – and then lose – Mirage on the horizon between turquoise waters and cerulean sky.

y experiential journey into the magical world of yacht design continues with Feadship. We have now reached the fifth design session which we had the chance to undertake during the 2018 Monaco Yacht Show. Together with Tanno Weeda, senior designer at Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects, we have now developed all of the interior spaces in detail.
The project provides a very special guest-area layout. This is, in fact, developed across two levels (double-deck: main deck+lower deck), from the centre of the ship towards the bow. There are eight cabins in total which occupy an area of about 50 square meters each, divided into two levels/floors. Each cabin is accessible from level one and slightly above the level of the main deck. Entering each cabin you are welcomed into a lounge furnished with sofas, armchairs and a comfortable and spacious walk-in wardrobe. Each cabin on this floor has a fireplace, a TV and a particularity that distinguishes it from the others: a chessboard, a game table, a globe, a carillon, a collection of books, a piano, a turntable. All these objects are ancient, sought after, precious; true rarities from different parts of the world.

CHALET as cozy as a chic SUPERYACHT DIGEST |
Pam De Glam is a decidedly feminine boat, with highly sophisticated interiors, details and complex ornaments. The contemporary design mixes the colours, fabrics and materials from the most prestigious brands in the luxury furnishing sector. The mosaic is an important element, which occurs in both the exteriors (the swimming pool) and in the interiors (the bathrooms and hammams).
The bathtubs found in the guest cabins have a circular or oval shape, all feature a refined design in wood or marble and are positioned on a raised platform above the bed. The walls are warm, covered with fabric and wood, and enriched with numerous curtains. The fireplace area that furnishes the entrance lounge of each cabin is in line with the style of the cabin. The guest cabins have their own personalities: predominantly contemporary, with small classic, baroque attitudes and a shy kitch accent which is revealed in small details ornately and extravagently decorated armchairs, shaped like a rose, a crown or a heart. The floors of the guest cabins are made of wood with inlays that recall the same - but more complicated - design of the ceilings which are also made of wood.
The stairs (or steps) of the cabins are covered in leather and, along the wall that runs through the staircase, you find decoration that narrates the style, the character and the personality of each cabin. The cabins also have small wooden figures that live inside the rooms, scattered in the most strategic corners and add a touch of fantasy to the design that leaves guests surprised and intrigued.
The large double windows that stretch from the lower floor to the second floor of the cabin are a real natural cinema showcasing the beauty and grandeur of the ocean.

lthough it is a description often heard within the industry, what does it take for a superyacht concept to be truly ‘groundbreaking’ in 2018? Here, we take a detailed look at the 110-metre five-deck superyacht concept, Project Atlas, currently listed for sale with Ocean Independence, to find out what it is that makes a modern superyacht design unique and deserving of the accolade: "groundbreaking".
Coming from the drawing boards of two British studios, Laurent Giles Naval Architects and H2 Yacht Design, the 110-metre Project Atlas embodies pure simplicity in her design, sporting both a futuristic layout and an aesthetic which balances timelessness with a

contemporary edge. With her modern five-deck layout and boundarypushing sleek design, Project Atlas will accommodate up to 30 guests in her luxurious quarters which will, of course, be equipped with all the amenities you would expect for a superyacht of this size and quality, although images of her staterooms are not yet available for viewing.
As exterior designer David Lewis from Laurent Giles commented on his design: “The contemporary five-deck superyacht form is complemented by the sail arrangement, merging volume and elegance”. Indeed, with her sails unfurled, Project Atlas is sure to create a dramatic and Instagram perfect silhouette at sunset which will turn heads wherever in the world she is spotted. 162

As is becoming increasingly clear for any modern superyacht concept, environmental awareness and maximising efficiency are factors which must always be taken into consideration, and the team behind Project Atlas did not disappoint in their effective use of green technology. A modern motor superyacht to the core, Project Atlas harnesses the efficiencies of sail power and will glide effortlessly through the ocean spray using a combination of motor and/or sails.
When it comes to her technical performance, Project Atlas delivers the goods and more. Achieving a cruising speed of 16-18 knots and a maximum speed of 20 knots, this ultra-modern superyacht can also achieve fuel savings of between 40% and 60%. Stability and performance under sail are also guaranteed thanks to fore and aft lifting keels with minimum heeling angles. And, for today’s owner who is always keen to go further in their transoceanic travels, Project Atlas is a true horizon expander, thanks to her potentially unlimited range.
In this manner, Project Atlas feels like a concept created with the desires of today’s superyacht owner at the forefront of her designers’ minds: the desire to travel freely, crossing oceans and horizons with ease; to enjoy stability and highperformance on the water; to benefit from the latest in fuel efficiency and green technology, and, above all, to make the most of all that the superyacht lifestyle can offer, carried along by a superyacht exemplifying both style and comfort which marries motor yacht volume with the elegance of a sailing yacht.
It is, therefore, a boundary-pushing superyacht concept which can deliver on all of the above, as well as demonstrating a unique design. As Project Atlas’ sales broker, Timothy Quinlan, describes it, “This is a truly unique concept to challenge today's superyacht conventions”.
To find out more, we sat down with Timothy Quinlan from Ocean Independence to get to the bottom of what it is that makes Project Atlas such a trailblazing design concept.

Q: What kind of owner can you see benefitting the most from owning Project Atlas? A: The very large superyacht market is an area of growth. At this moment in time, there’s only a handful of yachts over 100m and 5,000 GRT in the world. We see owners at this level having a growing concern over worldwide eco-welfare, so rather than simply burning tonnes of fossil fuels on a motor yacht at this size, the ability to sail to both save fuel and have zero emissions is a real issue relating to global warming. Obviously, a vessel of this type cannot be wholly “green” due to the carbon footprint generated to build it, but she does provide an owner with a high level of green credentials, which we believe is an important aspect of superyacht ownership for the future. Q: You commented before that Project Atlas is a truly 'unique concept' which challenges 'today's superyacht conventions.' Can you explain a little more about makes her unique?
A: If you consider all the yachts over 100m on the water today, they are all motor yachts. The word “unique” is used a lot in the world of superyachts, and there is no doubt with sometimes unlimited budgets, “unique vessels” are built.
However, Project Atlas’ modern propulsion system together with the fact you can sail her does indeed make her unique. The design itself is not just a hybrid in terms of green energy but the look of the yacht and the volume provided gives her accommodation that is perhaps closer to a motor yacht than a traditional sailing yacht. Q: Why is this the ideal time to bring Project Atlas onto the waters?
A: Of course, a project of this magnitude is likely to take over five years to finalise for design and build, so we really have to look at an owner with a vision for what is going to be required in five or six years’ time. There is no doubt that we have the technology to build Project Atlas now, but inevitably during her build process, there will be changes to be made as technology evolves further during this period. But, the basic principles of a low carbon footprint, very large yacht lie within the Project Atlas DNA, and with clients involved in high tech industries, this is a unique opportunity to build a yacht that will showcase new technologies in the future. Whilst she cannot be future-proofed, now is the time to start the process and, with the Laurent Giles flexible approach to planning, changes to the powertrain and even to her sail control systems can be accommodated during the first few years of build. We firmly believe that Project Atlas will be a trailblazer, opening a new avenue for large hybrid yachts.
