There is a lot of refit work here in Florida so that’s what I have been doing recently, as well as a collaboration with Exclusive Resort on some residential resort projects. Notably, I have worked on a 50-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> yacht, though I can’t share more details, it was completely original and we incorporated some unique elements that we generally never see on yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291790/image/large-2c102f7b3c5744c0ea0c08a249a29efa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291790">Could you share insights into how your collaboration with&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A. (Company)">Tankoa</a>&nbsp;came about and what the design brief for this new concept was?We spoke a lot about a possible collaboration and how they were willing to launch a new project which would feature unique exterior lines and distinctive interiors. They found a great exterior designer who provides high quality work and asked me if I wanted to be involved in the process. I was enthusiastic about the collaboration because I have always loved <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A. (Company)">Tankoa</a> shipyard and the modern, contemporary, sleek interiors which they normally produce. We had a quick briefing and they informed me about the young client’s design preferences. I tried to create an interior which seamlessly matched the yacht’s profile, bringing the exterior lines and conceptual elements into the interior. The name Stardust conveys how unique the project is, contrasting the darkness of the sky with the brightness of the stars. These elements of dark grey and bright highlights are evident in the yacht’s exterior and I tried to emulate this, creating a one of a kind interior. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291789/image/large-75b096db1790d55128d6b7acf605555d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291789"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291792/image/large-538731170f9250f64c77cf915512abc7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291792">What stylistic inspiration influenced your vision for the interiors of Stardust?The interior design of Stardust is very masculine whilst also remaining elegant and relaxing for guests onboard. In terms of the use of colours and shapes, the design inspiration stems back to the concept of compromise and harmony. The interiors showcase contrasting tones which aren’t too dark but remain modern. The overall goal was to achieve a synergy between the interior and exterior.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291786/image/large-46eea9b2b12004ea4ccae9ee69aed51b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291786">A notable feature onboard the Stardust yacht concept is the inclusion of floor to ceiling windows, how do these align with the overall vision for the yacht’s interior?The inclusion of floor to ceiling windows was crucial to the design of the yacht and I worked closely with the exterior designer to seamlessly integrate them. One of the pivotal spaces onboard Stardust is the beach club area, it strongly conveys the connection between the exterior and the interior. Continuity was key to the beach club’s style, the walls are adorned in high gloss with metal profiles and one of the two doors in the area is hidden. The generous space of the beach club can house a small gym, spa, steam room, seating area and a bar in a type of all-encompassing lounge which is connected to the cockpit through a shared skylight. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291794/image/large-6387b54ee7cb940dd62406394cc70593.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291794"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293672/image/large-d0bc1d6a039435e7c88d0090ca6ebed3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293672">Functionality and elegance often coexist within your yacht designs, what challenges did you face with Stardust when designing practical yet luxurious living spaces?The connection and dialogue with the shipyard during the design process was crucial. We discussed the technical features which would be incorporated into Stardust. Form follows function, in this case both aspects came together because the shipyard asked us to consider functionality during the planning stages. We worked closely with the technical department during the initial phases, considering questions like where do we put the ventilation tank for the engine room? In addition, storage was key and predominantly located in the two staterooms and behind the library in the saloon.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293666/image/large-9f0ed087b4712c4964a85f6d9bf39ab7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293666"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293668/image/large-8f6af90441204681039c6f40c50d0c35.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293668">The upper deck showcases an impressive owner’s suite, with access to a private pool, in what ways has privacy and exclusivity been incorporated into Stardust’s design?In terms of what sets the design of Stardust apart from other yachts, I would have to say the detailed finishes and the unique ceiling. Regarding exclusivity, the partition behind the bed in the master suite echoes residential interior design, whilst maintaining the yacht element. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291796/image/large-082a5d9d1676131f398b3a2da933c75f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291796"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/292669/image/large-427bc3c0640cf4f28c0fdc00180e96fb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/292669"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293663/image/large-9efbdf6b13f644210bddfa03bb99467f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293663">Meticulous attention to detail is a trademark of your design style, which unique intricate design elements have been incorporated into the Stardust concept?We paid attention to the details of the furniture because we wanted the intricate design elements to be unique. The entrance showcases two symmetrical shelved libraries, featuring high gloss finishes, combining vertical and horizontal metal. As I mentioned, storage was an important architectural feature to consider when designing the interiors. The first lounge area displays floor to ceiling windows and houses free standing, floating furniture. We created a very elegant and modern design, showcasing sleek lines, particularly in the forward partition in the main saloon. The saloon displays metallic tones, which aren’t intensely shiny, reminiscent of an industrial style, this creates a cloudy effect which is very fitting for the Stardust concept.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293665/image/large-864ce2a0427d0810ad610eaf2f90c10c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293665"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293661/image/large-4cdd96a1f05430dd3fd0f94360698755.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293661">The rigid lines of the saloon are echoed in the master suite, contrasting a comfortable and chic design with modern and firm features. Notably, a unique wall is situated behind the headboard in the master stateroom, creating the sense of a partition from the port to the starboard side. The fixed lines contrast with the curved, soft furniture within the suite. Forward of the master stateroom is the private pool, this offers guests a calm sanctuary to enjoy, while an exclusive office and ensuite are also situated in the stateroom and will reflect the style of the master suite.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293670/image/large-a272b8c8d242993f3194b765827fdd66.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293670"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293671/image/large-2138be1eb04fdb314d9600312c0a85b4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293671">In what ways have you employed specific shapes and colours to create a sense of serenity onboard?Stardust’s exterior significantly shaped the interior design. I started with the lines, I tried to match the smooth exterior lines with more rounded lines. The lighting was also key as we wanted to create a similar atmosphere to the yacht’s bright exterior, blending the two together. Harmonising the interior colours was a key design element, fusing muted grey and darker tones with high gloss finishings. We also worked with a beige milky colour, reflective of the Milky Way and we wanted to add a touch of light into the carpeting and the precious stone in the dining area, to adhere to the project’s Stardust title. The carpet in the lounge area encapsulates this goal, transforming the darker elements to feature bright accents. These celestial interior design features are part of the reason why Stardust is most effectively presented during the night. The yacht concept derived from the desire to create a dark elegant atmosphere, characterised by elements of brightness, this was achieved through the furniture and lighting.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293664/image/large-b50c81ccfd65c8acbdc055e9025d5367.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293664"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291795/image/large-2860551c8bc4268047d2622b4efdffca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291795">Another distinctive design aspect onboard Stardust is the dark grey mirror. This interior feature blends with Stardust’s signature high gloss finishes, to form a subtle depth. I would also consider the dining table to be a masterpiece. It is crafted from both wood and grey glass and situated above an organic carpet, this pairing stands out in the main saloon which is otherwise characterised by a rigid, geometric design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291797/image/large-6d0327cbcde8ee2c004a8261dc7a5985.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291797"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293669/image/large-9e8f54afa3fa3e0ebae7453812fc6ef1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293669">Looking forward, could you share what lies ahead for you in terms of future yacht designs and concepts?Hopefully by the next article I can be clearer and share more details about my upcoming projects. I am currently waiting for the green light from the shipyard to reveal this next project, it will be a completely different concept from Stardust, something one of a kind which truly represents my firm. The beauty of working with clients is that you can bring their visions to life, whilst experimenting and growing as a designer, allowing you to become very eclectic, this is at the heart of my work.
