<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4705" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="HP High Pressure SRL (Company)">HP Watermakers</a> emerged in 1995 as a branch of the Zucco family's manufacturing company specialising in the production of high-pressure parts for watermakers. With a &nbsp;production facility on the outskirts of Milan, &nbsp;everything from the design to the final factory testing takes place in-house.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296154/image/large-d12b185c3ecbb1a4a93cd26f5049b415.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296154">One of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4705" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="HP High Pressure SRL (Company)">HP Watermakers</a>’ most recent innovations, the HP Part-Net interface, has transformed the way desalination plants are utilised on board yachts. Even before the introduction of Part-NET, its RP TRONIC pressure regulation system had propelled <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4705" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="HP High Pressure SRL (Company)">HP Watermakers</a> ahead in terms of user-friendliness. But watermakers were still hidden away inside technical spaces or engine rooms. Part-NET shattered this norm by bringing the watermaker onto the multifunction display (MFD), allowing captains to access all functionalities directly on any chartplotter or domotic system.<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/hp-high-pressure-srl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">HP Watermakers</a>' carries out its own research and development to stay at the cutting-edge of technological developments. As a small, nimble family company, it has the agility to swiftly respond to new challenges and ideas. With a technical team with decades of experience in the field, it can turn an idea into a final product within days by employing advanced machinery such as CNC laser-cutting machines, 5-axis turning and milling machines. By producing 85 per cent of the components in-house, HP Watermakers maintains a steady control over the manufacturing process to guarantee high quality.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296152/image/large-2b2ce1274db3599c941e6cc9668398d9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296152">“While the industry faces numerous challenges today, we’ve proactively tackled supply chain distribution by maintaining a substantial stock of materials for the production of hundreds of units,” says Gianna Zucco, co-founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4705" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="HP High Pressure SRL (Company)">HP Watermakers</a>. “The small-scale manufacturing setup requires a high level of stock to facilitate fast deliveries and prevent material shortages that could disrupt production and cash flow. To build a solid foundation for the company, our management has consistently reinvested its profits into securing a stable and sustainable supply chain.”Approximately 95 percent of production is destined for the yacht and superyacht industry, amounting to around 400 units per year and the company is among the few watermaker companies worldwide that manufacture a significant portion of their own components. Moreover, since 2019 it has helped pioneer the production of the only MFD-interfaced watermaker available on the market, garnering acclaim from end-users in the process. Recently, a new addition to its product lineup was revealed: the most compact 500 lt/h unit on the market. Built on the frame of a 120 lt/h unit, it consumes just 3KW/h.Looking ahead, the company anticipates significant developments in the sector as people spend longer stretches of time aboard their yachts, necessitating the autonomous generation of energy and water as basic necessities. “In this scenario, our strategic positioning as a supplier becomes crucial as we strive to guarantee the always-on production of fresh water on board,” says Zucco.Digitalisation has emerged as a vital component of the company’s operations. In 2017, it introduced its BiBi® system, enabling remote control of the unit via the internet. Over 200 yachts currently utilise this service, allowing HP service technicians to identify and prevent issues by remotely accessing the units. By diagnosing problems and dispatching the appropriate parts before the issue escalates, BiBi® has proven to be a powerful asset in ensuring problem-free cruising. Moreover, installing BiBi® comes with a four-year warranty.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296153/image/large-6c2bc856c2e49600b1e30e01de2ddfdd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296153">To ensure comprehensive service and support for the global fleet of yachts, the company operates four offices and stores worldwide, located in Fort Lauderdale, Dubai, Cape Town and Male. It has also established a sales and service network spanning 53 countries, which allows the team to swiftly address the needs of clientele across the globe.&nbsp;“As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4705" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="HP High Pressure SRL (Company)">HP Watermakers</a> continues to pioneer advancements in the water desalination sector, we are focused on pushing the boundaries of innovation,” concludes Zucco. “By leveraging cutting-edge technology, expanding our global presence and prioritising customer satisfaction, we are poised to shape the future of watermakers for the yachting industry.”&nbsp;Into to the detailsProducing more than 300 units per year, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4705" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="HP High Pressure SRL (Company)">HP Watermakers</a> had a turnover in 2022 of €3 million, with a prediction for 2023 to exceed this turnover.

Initially serving as an assistant to the sales director, I concentrated on the company’s operations in Viareggio, the hub for constructing large yachts in the Italian maritime industry. Unexpectedly, my commitment to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut|Benetti Group</a> has endured, driven by the perfect synergy and structure within the company.What are some of your significant moments and achievements during your time with&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut|Benetti Group</a>?After 27 years with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut|Benetti Group</a>, there have been numerous significant moments and achievements. A challenging period which tested our resilience was during the initial stages of the pandemic lockdown. As clients reached out to cancel contracts due to uncertainties surrounding the pandemic and the ensuing economic crisis, we faced a critical decision-making juncture.In response to the crisis, Dr. Vitelli proposed a restructuring plan, suggesting that I take on the role of CEO for the entire company. At the time, I was solely with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a>, and in 2020, I officially assumed the role of CEO for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut|Benetti Group</a>, a position that had not previously existed, as both <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> had their separate CEOs. Despite the initial uncertainties, this decision proved to be transformative. In 2023 our turnover has grown to an impressive €1.2 billion from 700 million when I took over.&nbsp;Can you sustain this kind of growth?I was among the few at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/121" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cannes Yachting Festival - 2022">Cannes Yachting Festival</a> back in 2022 to anticipate an impending slowdown. Despite external challenges, I believe <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut|Benetti Group</a> is well-positioned to sustain steady growth. Our current fiscal season runs from September 2023 to August 2024, and we are optimistic about achieving a growth rate of at least 10 percent during this period.As we find ourselves in the Middle East, could you share your earliest recollection or first significant memory of this region?My first memory dates back to 1997 in Dubai. Back then, the landscape was incomparable to the vibrant metropolis we see today, it was mostly desert and people talked about having a vision to build skyscrapers and marinas. The transformation has been remarkable. It was around this time that we delivered the first 30.48-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a> Jumbo in Dubai, marking a significant milestone. Additionally, I participated in the International Boat Show.&nbsp;How important is the Gulf region for the&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut|Benetti Group</a>?The Gulf region holds immense importance for the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut|Benetti Group</a>. It has played a crucial role with its significance growing even more for our future endeavours. We have consistently developed markets for both the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> brands across the Arabian Gulf, maintaining a steadfast presence year after year. We have a strategic presence in Kuwait and successful sales in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Additionally, we recognise the importance of the Egypt area, particularly concerning the Red Sea. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut|Benetti group</a> still plans on continuing investing in the region as approximately 20 percent of our substantial backlog, which is among the best in the market, originates from this thriving area. Following the Saudi Arabian Public Investment group's acquisition of a 33% stake in April 2023, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut|Benetti Group</a> emphasised the potential for long-term strategic business opportunities, particularly in the Middle East. Could you elaborate on the specific opportunities this investment presents for the group in the region?With the Saudi Arabian Public Investment group acquiring a 33 percent stake in April 2023, we've welcomed them as professional and committed shareholders, qualities essential in our industry. As a private, non-listed company, we've had various funds express interest over the years. The Vitelli family, discerning in their choice, found PIF to be the ideal partner for several reasons, including their proven track record in preserving the companies they invest in and their strategic location in this vital region.Furthermore, I can affirm that significant developments are currently underway in the region, they are actively taking place. Reflecting on past experiences, I predicted Dubai's growth before 2000, and as anticipated, it unfolded over time. This foresight extends to the Gulf Region, and we are confident that similar positive developments will occur.There many discussions centred on emerging propulsion systems, cutting-edge technologies, and sustainability initiatives aimed at enhancing our environmental efficiency. Undoubtedly, your company is actively involved in these advancements. Looking ahead, where do you envision your position in the industry five years from now? Can we anticipate the introduction of net-zero emission boats from your company?I'd like to emphasise the need for concrete action and offer some constructive criticism to our industry, specifically the manufacturers. The term 'sustainability' is often overused, and there is a danger of it becoming a mere buzzword. As someone once pointed out, when technology becomes boring, it becomes widely adopted. Currently, everyone talks about sustainability, pushing the responsibility forward without tangible actions. In reality, we must focus on concrete measures, avoiding 'greenwashing.'&nbsp;For instance, there are short-term solutions like biodiesel, with which we've partnered with Eni to provide HVO in Italy. Despite logistical challenges, we manage the distribution through our yard, supporting our clients. A year ago, we took the initiative to include emission levels in our range, based on consumption. We urged other manufacturers to join us, displaying this information on our yachts during shows. Regrettably, we remain the sole participant in this effort. However, this is not about self-decoration; our documentation is certified by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1452" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lloyd's Register (Company)">Lloyds</a> for international approval. I appreciate the opportunity to invite others to join this endeavour, as providing direct information to the final owner is crucial. Contrary to the belief that external pressure should drive change, we are taking proactive steps.&nbsp;We are also investing in hull shape and lighter materials, including cork, which is more sustainable. Instead of just using the term 'sustainable,' let's focus on tangible actions. Our industry needs to move beyond discussions and embrace facts and numbers. We are proud to share that we achieved a 20 percent reduction in consumption for our <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a> range compared to previous models. These are not just promises but actual achievements, numbers that reflect our commitment to sustainability.Considering your order book which is the highest it has ever been, does the prospect of managing such a substantial workload concern you from a production standpoint?Not at all, we are efficiently managing our production workload. Our processes are becoming more streamlined, and the integration under the same company umbrella is proving advantageous. To illustrate, from the arrival of a 50-metre hull at the yards to the launch of the super yacht, the timeframe is now less than 11 months. This achievement is noteworthy, as it used to be the target for our 30-metre yachts a decade ago. Instead of expanding our yards, incurring additional costs and potential inefficiencies, we are focused on reducing lead times.How do you differentiate between the yachts built under the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> brands? Is the categorisation based on factors such as speed and displacement?The core business for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> revolves around displacement yachts, and we recently announced plans to introduce a 45-metre steel yacht due to the high demand for steel vessels. We are expanding our offerings beyond our existing B.Yond series, like the 37-metre, which will transition to a 40-metre version, and a 55-metre as well as the 45-metre Motopanfilo.&nbsp;Reflecting on past statements, I recall being asked about venturing into larger sizes during the launch of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/1081" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut 100 Jumbo30.48m (100'0&quot;)">Azimut</a> tri-deck. At that time, I firmly expressed that it would never happen. However, I can now say that we are working on an <a data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/1081" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut 100 Jumbo30.48m (100'0&quot;)">Azimut</a> 40-metres plus.What are your thoughts on the current pricing trends in the yacht industry? Have you encountered clients expressing concerns about the increasing costs?We've had clients express concerns about yacht prices throughout the year. Some who were accustomed to paying a certain amount found the increases challenging, leading a few to reconsider purchasing. The industry's push to expand its client base over the last few years has been a double-edged sword. It's positive for growth, but it presents challenges and threats.&nbsp;Expanding the clientele allowed for increased pricing due to a surge in demand. However, this was also influenced by factors such as material shortages, component delays, and speculations by some suppliers. While prices may seem exorbitant when compared to three or four years ago, it's essential to note that these increases aren't purely reflective of profit margins due to shifts in the supply chain.Interestingly, some newcomers to the yachting world may initially underestimate the ongoing costs, such as maintenance, management, and crew expenses. Over time, they realise the investment's full implications.&nbsp;Despite the challenges, a positive shift has been observed as people are spending more time onboard. This trend has become especially pronounced in recent years, transforming the yacht-buying experience into an emotional factor. We've witnessed clients who, over the years, started with a smaller yacht for occasional use and have now transitioned to larger vessels, spending more time with family onboard. This change in behaviour is significant and contributes to the industry's resilience. The emotional factor in the boat-buying process ensures a lasting connection with our clients, aligning with our group's strategy to maintain and grow within the family.

The final segment of the Gulf Superyacht Summit featured an interview conducted by Merijn de Waard with Marco Valle, the CEO of Azimut|Benetti Group.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4774" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pulina Exclusive Interiors (Company)">Alessandro Pulina</a> has a wealth of experience garnered from working with established Italian shipyards, including <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a>.

This memorable experience not only fuelled my passion for yacht design but led me to choose it as my final course during my studies at the University of Florence. I was very fortunate to meet Guido Spadolini, an innovative architect and visionary who helped me work on my thesis, which focused on the design of a 21-metre fast open yacht.After graduating in Architecture, I enrolled in a unique master’s degree program, established through a partnership with the universities of &nbsp;Florence, Genoa, and Pisa. This master’s course played a pivotal role in my entry into the yachting sector. Immediately following its completion, I secured a position as an interior designer with the shipyard Filippo Picchiotti (FP), owned by one of the members of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Picchiotti (Company)">Picchiotti</a> family, previous owners of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Picchiotti (Company)">Picchiotti</a> brand. There, I collaborated extensively with the exterior designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4575" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Paolo Caliari Design (Company)">Paolo Caliari</a> on the Jaguar brand, a series of &nbsp;yachts ranging from 21 to 27-metres, that were sold in the American and European market. Unfortunately, the shipyard fell into bankruptcy in 2008.After FP, I joined <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> as style manager for their fibreglass projects for approximately 10 years, mostly managing production in Viareggio and Fano. I successfully managed around 500 yacht projects, overseeing the intensive production process. Notable projects included the development of new series yachts such as the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> Crystal, Mediterraneo, Tradition, and the Classic Supreme series. As style manager, I was also responsible for developing the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a> Grande project; we delivered the first unit of the series to a client in Hong Kong. &nbsp;During this period, I extensively travelled worldwide, gaining insights into the yachting industry across different countries. The experience in various shipyards equipped me with the tools and knowledge necessary, allowing me to refine my creative vision. The combination of these experiences eventually inspired me to establish my own design studio in 2014, which is approaching its ten-year anniversary next year.&nbsp;Can you share how the firm has evolved over the years and elaborate on the projects you are currently involved in?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295443/image/large-c1be7d8714fb13fa0bbc24ac320dadb4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295443">Over the years, our firm has undergone significant growth, expanding to two offices, one located in the heart of Pisa with a team of 15 employees, housed in a beautiful historic building just a short distance from the iconic Tower of Pisa, and another strategically positioned in the art centre of Shanghai. Moreover, I have also been recently appointed as a consultant for the Chinese government in the yachting sector.&nbsp;Our international presence across two continents has played a pivotal role in our ability to undertake multiple yacht projects worldwide, spanning three continents. We've been involved in diverse projects, ranging from Australia, where we collaborated on the 35.25-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/899" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silver Yachts (Company)">Silver Yachts</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8564" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Space Cat35.25m (115'8&quot;)Silver Yachts2022">SpaceCat</a> delivered in 2022, to Italy, working on the 38.2-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5302" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maori Yacht (Company)">Maori</a> motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8464" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="K+38.2m (125'4&quot;)Maori Yacht2022">K+</a> delivered in 2022 and the 2022 62-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7207" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RIO62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN2022">RIO</a>. Moreover, we have also worked with the Chinese shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3780" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pride Mega Yachts (Company)">Pride Mega Yachts</a>, where we contributed to the interior design of the 88.8-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5634" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Illusion Plus88.5m (290'4&quot;)Pride Mega Yachts2018">Illusion Plus</a>. Our most recent project was the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> 40.8-metre motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10454" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mia 240.8m (133'10&quot;)Benetti SpA2023">Mia 2</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295428/image/large-bb47339f799749c0d150a49f1b6733cb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295428">Our studio reflects our increasingly international perspective, with designers hailing from various countries, including China, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia, and, of course, Italy. This diversity in the team aligns with our commitment to effective communication, especially crucial when engaging with clients from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The studio's approach on embracing diverse cultures enhances our ability to connect with a global clientele.Furthermore, we've undergone a recent significant evolution by expanding our scope of work beyond interiors to include exteriors. We are currently involved in a project on both the interior and exterior design of a series of new yachts, covering a range from 15.24 to 36.8-metres in China.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295430/image/large-2cc40d651f5067f77f29922bbe868515.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295430">Could you elaborate on the collaborative process with&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a>&nbsp;regarding the interior design of the 62-metre &nbsp;yacht&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7207" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RIO62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN2022">RIO</a>?The project of designing the interiors of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7207" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RIO62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN2022">RIO</a> was intriguing due to the robust communication and deep understanding between our design team and the client. This dynamic relationship enabled us to capture the client’s vision and generate an interior with a welcoming familial atmosphere and a tropical inspiration. In order to achieve this we gathered a lot of elements inspired by the vibrant colours found in tropical forests, for example. The result was a harmonious blend of colours, carefully orchestrated to avoid a random or disjointed aesthetic.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295423/image/large-17a23d2e28c5834ed5fd6f12aa5f05b7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295423">Moreover, given the yacht's numerous and distinct decks and rooms, we conducted thorough studies on how to manage colours seamlessly and a cohesive experience throughout the many floors in the yacht and create a unified, purposeful design. The collaboration with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> team and the owners was instrumental &nbsp;to this success. A core principle of our design philosophy is recognising the importance of a cooperative approach. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295425/image/large-4eb3bf9959fd0e53947940ae38c8080e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295425"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295427/image/large-478e588b0e66a933f99c84419b6d0a29.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295427">At the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/182" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2023">Monaco Yacht Show</a> you showcased the latest innovations in biotechnological materials for yacht interior design. Could you elaborate on the goals and objectives of the project "Aligned with Sustainability" ?Our initiative 'Aligned with Sustainability,' showcased at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/182" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2023">Monaco Yacht Show 2023</a>, &nbsp;emerged from a noticeable growing client interest in sustainable interior design materials for yachts. However, addressing this demand posed a challenge due to the lack of what I often refer to as 'tools', comprehensive resources and materials to support sustainable projects.In order to address this gap, we initiated research, collaborating with the university Sant'Anna in Pisa. Our aim was to identify companies producing sustainable materials, including biomaterials and bioplastics. The goal was to curate finishing products and materials that, when combined, could contribute to a design that is 100 percent or close to 100 percent sustainable. In the course of our research, we identified a company that develops biomaterials derived from sources like oranges and lemons.&nbsp;This endeavour aligns with a broader movement in the industry where dedicated research and innovation are focused on creating new materials for the future. It's a crucial consideration, as we stand at the threshold of the future, prompting us to think about the well-being of the next generation. Personally, as a parent of three children, I find it imperative to shift our approach from traditional methods to conducting research for a sustainable future.&nbsp;When you are designing a yacht, how do you ensure that the design remains stylish and relevant when the yacht is eventually launched?Addressing the question of maintaining style and relevance in yacht design is undoubtedly one of the most significant challenges a designer faces especially with interior yacht design. The goal is to cultivate a contemporary interior design that emanates a perpetual sense of freshness, resists the pull of passing trends and ensures an enduring appeal that stands the test of time.During my involvement in the design of the third hull of the Crystal series, the 42-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4629" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Soy Amor42.0m (137'10&quot;)Benetti SpA2014">Soy Amour</a>, achieving synchronisation with the owners proved to be a meticulous process. This often entailed multiple revisions to ensure perfect alignment and harmony between the design vision and their preferences. This summer, I had the opportunity to revisit <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4629" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Soy Amor42.0m (137'10&quot;)Benetti SpA2014">Soy Amour</a> after approximately 18 years, and it still radiated a sense of freshness and contemporaneity.&nbsp;The success of this enduring appeal can be attributed to my design approach in eschewing a fixed historical period, and embracing a heritage process that transcends time. Yacht refits are common after seven to eight years, but our aim is to extend the longevity of our designs.&nbsp;If you could purchase your own yacht or advise a client, is there one design feature you feel contributes most towards a luxurious experience onboard?Absolutely, when considering yacht design, our approach is to reimagine life onboard. The market traditionally adheres to standard layouts with a fixed number of cabins and public areas. However, our experience, particularly in designing villas in diverse locations such as China and Abu Dhabi, has revealed a shift in client preferences. Now, it's less about a specific number of guest bedrooms and more about creating versatile spaces that foster communal activities.&nbsp;We're exploring concepts like winter gardens and chill rooms where people can engage in various activities. Clients are seeking modern office spaces on yachts, deviating from the traditional setup. The contemporary onboard office is designed as an experiential space equipped with technology, multiple screens, meeting areas, and a setting conducive for conducting business. Our vision is to revolutionise the yacht experience, moving away from the conventional desire for a set number of cabins to a more dynamic and multifunctional onboard lifestyle.Finally, any exciting projects or developments you would like to unveil?Whilst I can't disclose specifics, I can share that in China we have entered into a collaborative venture with prominent car brands for an innovative yacht project. Additionally, we're also engaged in projects with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7149" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yihong Yachts (Company)">Yihong Yachts</a> as well as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7448" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Eastar yacht (Company)">Eastar Yacht</a>. Closer to home in Italy, we're underway with a refit project for a 55-metre superyacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295421/image/large-7537bf0d751362c5540917a40199ebaf.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295421">
