Design Special THE ALCHEMY OF CREATING THE PERFECT MAGICAL ONBOARD AMBIENCE
is the universal mantra these days. Everything is driven by that one simple word. Because one of the main aims of design is to improve on the present. Whether it is “From a spoon to a city ” as Italian designer Ernesto Nathan Rogers said in 1952 or the other way around, the meeting of design and function means that every single thing, large or small, should be crafted to make our life easier and, sometimes, more comfortable too. Yachting is based on this axiom. In fact, it is a veritable crossroads where influences from many different areas meet: yacht design and terrestrial architecture talk to one another, watch each other and influence each other to make dreams come true and life altogether more pleasant. Yachts are huge ‘objects’ in which the concepts of architecture and design are brilliantly sublimated. So in this special we are offering space to ideas from the designers, furniture and accessories brands, yards and their ceaseless cross-fertilisations that guarantee design is not just about functionality but also about making our hearts flutter. Just like art! Désirée Sormani Manging Director

questions to Nicola Coropulis CEO Poltrona Frau Poltrona Frau’s collections include classic and contemporary pieces... The company has its roots in a noble past. We are carrying on an Italian furniture tradition that has gone through many evolutions and spanned various eras. Being contemporary but also offering solutions that have a leitmotif that connects them with our history is the best way of passing on our skills and keeping them alive. Reissuing historic Italian design pieces, such as Gianfranco Frattini’s, is an organic part of that project. What are the most popular pieces? We are much associated with the Vanity Fair armchair, which we gave a modern twist last year to mark its 90th anniversary. But the real door-opener on all our markets is the Chester sofa which has been in the Poltrona Frau collection since the company was founded, in 1912. Our new icon is the Archibald, an armchair designed by Jean-Marie Massaud in 2009. Our collaboration with Massaud marked a move away from the Poltrona Frau stereotype of a company that only produced classic furnishings. We continued that transition with designer Roberto Lazzeroni: his Ginger and Montera chairs are very popular. Their mix of leather, wood and suede ensure they can easily be used on yachts. How do you adapt your furnishings for onboard use? Our Residential, Interiors in Motion and Custom Interiors Divisions all work in synergy. After an initial analysis of the design, we define both ad hoc pieces and collection pieces which can be adapted whilst still retaining their identity. The nautical business that has become even more significant during the pandemic. Ferretti’s CEO Alberto Galassi talks about yachts as private islands that recreate a sense of safety and exclusivity for their owners. What are the most popular colour families in the ColorSphere® palette? The most popular are neutrals. We launched ColorSphere® last year to provide interchangeable colours that had a more emotional appeal than the dated ones from the 1980s which were based on a more scientific approach to colour that was typical of 20th century thinking. Leather is Poltrona Frau’s signature materials. But is there any room for fabric or textiles in this “Leathership”? Nowadays, 20% of our range is fabric and 80% in leather and suede. We are beginning a partnership with the Loro Piana’s Interiors division also. We will be introducing their fabrics - a 100% cashmere, a 100% wool and a cashmere-wool mix, all as natural as our own skin – to upholster our products. They will be in the Milan store from April but there will also be a fully interactive online platform. For the first time this year, that will focus on three senses: sight, touch and smell.

questions to Giulia Molteni Molteni Group Head of Marketing and Communication Has your furnishing philosophy changed over the past 10/20 years? Furnishing in general has undergone an important rethink involving all areas, from kitchen to lounge and bedroom. The emphasis is on comfortable, multifunctional objects. Living spaces have become a safe haven, sheltering us from an outside world full of uncertainty and change. Our offer is in this sense complete, with day systems, sliding doors and hideaway elements at the core of the new demands of contemporary living. How much do innovative technology and materials help in your production? Innovative technology and materials lie the heart of the Molteni Group’s strategy. Sustainability is a priority for the entire group and is based first of all on a concept of 100% Made in Italy. The company is adopting the requirements of the UN-approved Agenda 2030 for sustainable development. This year we’ve already taken the important step of eliminating polystyrene from our packaging, and we’ve invested in modern machinery that enables us to use only fully recyclable cardboard. What are the current trends in furnishing the lounge? The experience of living the home only as a place for rest and relaxation is bound to change. New priorities like home working will become part of our everyday life. The challenge will be to find the right balance among the various domestic environments, combining aesthetics and functionality. Configuring increasingly smart, dynamic spaces will be a crucial requirement. Does that mean multifunctional spaces? The interplay of home and office is at the centre of the Molteni Group’s projects. One example is the TDU, a project by UniFor design Studio Klass for both environments, and the residential world of Molteni&C and Dada provides an opportunity to rethink products designed for versatile domestic spaces that can adapt their function and shape to different contexts. How important is the idea of personalising your products according to client needs? The Octave sofa by Vincent Van Duysen is an example of the opportunities for personalisation offered by a seating item. It’s a modular system with rigorous lines, comprising elements that can be put together to create a variety of compositions. The Molteni Group’s production can be considered tailor made, defined by a cutting-edge industrial culture combined with an artisanal knowledge of time-honoured techniques, a profound knowledge of materials and a passion for research, experimentation and innovation.

questions to Verena Varaschin Marketing & Communications Director You say that your philosophy centres around Outdoor Therapy. Could you tell us what that is exactly please? Outdoor Therapy is our core business. Having spent more than five decades making, designing outdoor furniture means we are very aware of our skills in this specific area. They are the fruit of careful, constant engagement with the way the interior market is evolving. Outdoor Therapy also refers to a relaxing lifestyle in contact with nature, preferably 365 days a year. An authentic immersion in wellbeing, in rediscovering a sense of harmony with both ourselves and our surroundings. It is a philosophy that combines poetry and practicality, but is also an ambassador for superior quality with a strictly controlled supply chain. What does being sustainable mean for you? Firstly, committing to the environment, something we do by adopting virtuous production processes and using woods from plantations managed to strict standards. But it is also a concept that needs to be extended more broadly: it is a return to the person, to our fundamental needs and desires. Hence our social commitments in addition to paying special attention to the people working with us. What makes your projects so perfect for onboard living? I would begin by saying that the fact that they are designed for the outdoors means they are already very suitable for nautical settings: for example, we focus on resistance to atmospheric agents and on the sturdiness of the construction. The style factor is equally important: our elegantly minimal aesthetic is never overpowering but always distinctive. What materials are the best for onboard use? The ones we use for weaving, aluminium, PVC, and water-repellent and UV-resistant fabrics. Many of the materials we use have IMO certification, a guarantee of quality, safety and reliability. They are also guaranteed suitable for use in the marine environment with the likes of the C5M coating, which is resistant to corrosive agents such as sea mist and chorine. Which of your collections do you feel best for onboard living? Definitely Emma, which crosses over with contemporary styles. It spans a range of solutions that suit any mood. Emma Cross, which takes the Emma’s main characteristics in a new aesthetic direction, is inspired by the corolla of a flower with a fabric weave featuring central embroidery. Then there is Victor, a collection that includes tables with aluminium structures, sun beds and chairs with an aluminium or teak structure, seats and backrests. I would also recommend Belt, a collection made up of occasional tables, armchairs, poufs and a sofa that is extraordinarily modular.

HYDRO TEC Masculine lines and strong details reflecting maritime tradition characterise Bow Sprit. In line with current trends it is a one of a new generation of explorer yachts, safe islands for all the world’s seas, inspired by Sergio Cutolo’s vision for the Vittoria Yacht yard’s entry into the pleasure sailing market by Désirée Sormani
Bow Sprit is a classic explorer with a crow’s nest, bowsprit and huge stern, a multi-purpose area to be used as desired (like on the 40-metre Aurelia by Cantiere delle Marche). Bow Sprit is one of the latest creations by Sergio Cutolo, who over 25 years ago founded Hydro Tec. Before launching his studio, which is now in Ovada, Piedmont province, Sergio Cutolo worked with the engineer Alcide Sculati and at the Baglietto and Rodriquez yards
T
here’s excitement in the air at Hydro Tec as we will soon see a variety of new craft take to the water, all by Sergio Cutolo. They are of different sizes, from the 38-metre by Rosetti yachts to the four 35/40-metre builds in delivery by the Cantiere delle Marche, where another four are under construction, up to a 45
and 50 metre by Palumbo Yachts, plus the refit of the 70-metre craft under way at the Dunya Yachts yard in Turkey. Hydro Tec, an integrated design studio founded by Sergio Cutolo that’s now passed the twenty-five year milestone can be very satisfied with the way things are going, despite the difficulties posed by the pandemic. “Owners, in fact, are increasingly eager to experience the sea and set off on their safe islands to explore different places”, says Sergio Cutolo. “Explorer yachts in particular offer the opportunity to seek isolation and remain for long periods at sea, as they have plenty of space for fuel, water and food, and can also carry a variety of toys and tenders, providing owners and guests with entertainment without having to look for it ashore”. And when it comes to Explorers, Cutolo is well ahead of the pack. “These are the most sought-after type, especially if their stern is open to the sea, like on the 40-metre Aurelia by Cantiere delle Marche. It’s the ideal place to stow toys or a helicopter, host a swimming pool or transform into a spacious beach area. I see the yacht concept developing in this direction,
24
In the case of Bow Spirit, Hydro Tec’s integrated design also created interiors that are perfectly in tune with the exteriors. Given a fresh elegance combined with a very clear appeal to maritime traditions, the interiors are bright and feature a palette of light colours. Rounded exterior elements are evoked in the interior by curved teak creating a stylistic coherence and harmony
especially in the segment of more manageable yachts of no more than 500 GT, because they’re easier to handle and can be delivered without having to wait too long”. For Victoria Yachts’ entry into the pleasure sailing sector (the yard has a long tradition in the commercial and military markets) Hydro Tec, which was called in to interpret the lines of the first vessel, which will be constructed on spec (as well as a series smaller models) has chosen to follow this path while also taking a rather special approach with this yacht. “Initiating a collaboration with a yard is always an exciting moment but it also demands taking the yard’s distinctive identity into account, so we created Bow Sprit, a yacht of just over 50 metres, with rather masculine lines, a large, safe hull and two special features – a 360-degree crow’s nest and the bowsprit that gives the yacht its name, two locations providing wonderful views of the world all around”, says Cutolo with satisfaction. The aft area is a versatile area owners can configure according to their requirements. This vast 250 square metre expanse develops inside and out and includes the interior lounge, a bright space like a veranda with light flooding in through four full-height windows, an alfresco lounge that’s perfect for summer use. Then there are two pools with panoramic glass panels on the sundeck and stern to create special effects with the lights to become two wonderful on-board attractions.

So what has that meant for the interior? The aforementioned asymmetry allowed the designers to have a large dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows looking directly out over the water on one side and a saloon to starboard that opens out on to a balcony. This choice offers more space than a traditional layout (around 10 square metres were clawed back!), lots of bright, natural light and great flexibility of use. The décor and furnishings are also the work of ZIP with Martina Zuccon creating beautifully refined pieces bespoke crafted for the owners, tailored just for them like all Sanlorenzo yachts. “Thanks to a visionary yard and the stimulus it gave us, we got to explore new territory in terms of living spaces and styles.

The snug, intimate forward cockpit can be shaded by a romantic Bedouin tent-style canopy.

questions to Vincenzo Poerio CEO Tankoa Yachts Tankoa Yachts is a young company but it’s well-established in high-end yachting. How is it changing since you are at the helm ? I joined Tankoa in February 2020. Despite the restrictions the pandemic has imposed I’ve tried to improve many aspects of corporate life. I’ve introduced new production processes and made investments in software to make the work more fluid and shorten delivery times. We’ve strengthened the sales team and started work with new designers to offer a wider range of products. In 2020 we presented the Tankoa 45 metre designed by Giorgio Cassetta and this year we’re going to launch other projects by new architects. The work we’re doing is intended to provide continuity to the contracts undertaken and to help Tankoa become a benchmark company in the superyacht world. What are the brand’s strengths, and are you considering expanding the yard?At Tankoa I’ve found a very good team made up of dynamic people with a strong passion for yachting. It’s clear that to achieve the goals we’ve set we have to increase our production capacity, and that’s why we’re evaluating some opportunities to buy out yards or industrial premises. Tankoa specialises in the construction of yachts of 50 metres and above, but now you’re building your first 45-metre model. What led to this decision? So far we’ve constructed five 50-metre yachts, one 72-metre and one 69-metre. The entire range is in the over 50 metre bracket. We were convinced that yachts between 40 and 50 metres constituted a large slice of the market, so we decided to make a 45-metre, the T450. We’re in talks with some potential clients in the hope of closing the deal shortly. T450 is designed by Giorgio Cassetta, a designer you know well as the man behind many Benetti yachts. Can you tell us about this collaboration? I met Giorgio when he was 29, and at Benetti we immediately saw his potential. Now, after designing a number of models, he has consolidated his style. I regard him as a young Italian destined to make a mark in our industry. In this pandemic what are the trends that can be seen developing in terms of size and style? The superyacht market has remained very active and the latest yacht industry figures confirm this trend. Yachts between 40 and 50 metres below 500 gt form the largest and most rewarding market segment. There’s also significant growth in demand for models around 60 metres long, between 800 and 1,000 gt. The stylistic trend is for yachts with ever-larger window areas to create spectacular visuals and with more spacious beach areas to bring owners and guests closer to the sea and enable them to enjoy their “private island”.
