LUXE et al are delighted to announce that PFA & Partners have been shortlisted for an Interior Design – Power Yacht Award in The International Yacht and Aviation Awards 2016.
For this project, there were many customisations required by the expert shipowner, who will spend more than 120 days a year on board with his family. Great attention has been paid to the crew quarters that are furnished following the same theme as the VIP areas, for a total of four cabins on board. In the main deck we find the living room which is particularly large, thanks to the fact that the yacht is 7.70 meters wide, and which connects to the dining area with kitchen.
The kitchen is an informal area, also for the shipowners. It is incredible in size, comparable to kitchens in yachts of 45/48 meters long. In the lounge of the main deck you can feel space and light, particularly abundant in this environment thanks to large windows, which are decorated, and full-length curtains like in a normal luxury house.
On the upper deck we find the hall, designed primarily for entertainment and equipped with a large “L” shaped sofa and handmade chairs. At the bow we see the great handmade helm, characterised by a curved dashboard that follows the line of the windows, with three comfortable pilot armchairs. Aft there is a sofa, to enjoy the broad view you get from this location of the ship, during the navigation experience. Another very interesting feature is the presence of a radio room adjacent to the bridge, which is absolutely unusual for boats this size.
Pierluigi Floris – PFA & Partners chose refined combinations: the walnut wood and the panelled walls, with either fabric or leather covers. The result is a boat with a classic maritime mood, obtained through the style for the combination of colours and fabrics and through quality materials, processed by skilled craftsmen who have perfected the boat like a tailored suit. All of these components evoke the Italian design which informed the entire interior design scheme.
