Furnishing the sea - Design on board
The expansion and general growth of the shipbuilding business has provided opportunities for groups to further expand their activities by integrating sustainability into their design. The need to protect the environment is inspiring manufacturers, beginning to affect customers, and influencing the world of finance, which is increasingly unwilling to invest in high-carbon entities. So there is room to experiment with new applications on board.
Design & sustainability on board.
The last boat show has brought novelty and changes in this area: it has forced groups to create a safe place where freedom and privacy are guaranteed, a new way of living life aboard.
In recent years, the common goal of the nautical groups, has been to create projects sewn to the desires of the final customers. Floating dwellings where indoor and outdoor spaces navigate towards a direct contact with the surrounding nature in search of new experiences and sensations like feeling cradled by the sea.
Living on the waves.
Flexible and transformable spaces that are best adapted to different weather conditions and different scenarios of daily life on the boat. The acoustic aspect becomes more and more the focus of interest of the owner, the absence of noise or vibration encourages the continuous search for contact with the natural environment and the sea.
These needs are also found in the choice of furniture.
Much similar to lofts on the water, the boats break free from the concept of fixed furniture to free up available space and accommodate sophisticated but visually light furnishings on board, which have come from the catalogs of well-known design companies like Poltrona Frau, Flexform, Paola Lenti and Tribù
Just as every single element on the yacht that has been studied down to the smallest detail, so every single piece of furniture has to win its place for functionality, durability, and pleasing to the eye. Furniture that creates contemporary and cozy atmospheres, in which luxury is read in the refinement of details, in the research of materials, in the sophisticated elegance of finishes and fabrics in light tones, coffee and cream, and weaves reminiscent of nature. Fabrics soft to the touch but substantial enough to withstand sea water and salty breezes.
A proposal for furniture in which elegance is combined with functionality and durability, guaranteed by the use of materials such as aluminum, woods like teak or iroko, and hand-woven rope wefts, used for their properties and resistance to the action of atmospheric agents.
