Latest Azimut superyacht boasts a sophisticate and airy inner space, designed by m2atelier
The Italian design studio, m2atelier, has unveiled their latest masterpiece - the Azimut Grande Trideck yacht. This stunning vessel, part of the mighty Azimut/Benetti Group, embodies the concept of 'barefoot luxury', emphasizing informal sophistication, simplicity, tactility, and an authentic, relaxed lifestyle on board.
Light as Architecture
At the heart of m2atelier's design philosophy is the belief that light should be treated as a "silent force", connecting and defining spaces. This is achieved through large windows and concealed lighting, making light itself part of the architecture. The Main Salon features the Unveiling Wall, a system of vertical slats that conceal the audio-visual system and glide open with a cinematic flourish when the screen is required.
Invisible Boundaries
The use of invisible doors and layered glass partitions maintains openness while providing privacy. These design elements create a seamless flow across spaces without sacrificing intimacy. Every corner of the Azimut Grande Trideck yacht is thoughtfully designed, ensuring that light, space, and privacy are harmoniously balanced.
Custom-Designed Furniture
The interior of the yacht is adorned with custom-designed furniture that follows m2atelier’s Integral Design approach. This ensures that every element contributes harmoniously to the whole interior environment, creating a coherent and minimalist style through clean geometries, fine craftsmanship, and bespoke furniture.
Flexible Spaces
The Sky Lounge, for instance, is a flexible space that can shift between lounge, dining, and media room configurations. Outdoor spaces also extend the sense of barefoot luxury with shaded terraces, private patios, a beach club, and a recessed pool on the foredeck for casual comfort.
A New Direction for Azimut's Grande Series
The Azimut Grande Trideck yacht represents a comprehensive interior identity refresh for Azimut’s Grande series. This new direction focuses on authenticity and understated elegance rather than typical superyacht extravagance. The studio’s founders, Marco Bonelli and Marijana Radovic, bring experience in residential, nautical, and aviation design, which informs their functional yet refined approach.
Key Features
- The yacht, 38m long, offers accommodation and accoutrements to match, including seating for 12 persons, a pool, and expansive owner's accommodation.
- The foredeck features a recessed pool.
- Light becomes architecture on the Azimut Grande Trideck yacht, bringing form to space, revealing textures, and adding emotional depth to the onboard experience.
- The yacht's outdoor spaces include an upper-level Sky Lounge that converts from a shaded space into an indoor dining area, a private patio, upper deck terrace, and beach club.
- Throughout the accommodation, m2atelier has made use of invisible doors that open up the various compartments when privacy isn't required.
- The yacht's interior color scheme falls just the right side of beige.
- The yacht's design features clever touches that use the intersection of the ceiling and walls to extend the sense of space through multiple layers of materials, hidden lighting, and different materials.
Conclusion
The Azimut Grande Trideck yacht, designed by m2atelier, offers a refreshing departure from the gilded cliches, overstuffed sofas, and awful objets d'art that are common in high-end nautical design. Instead, it provides a chic townhouse or contemporary Cotswolds retreat feel, where every bespoke element is finely considered, from the window-side chaise in the owner's suite to the hidden lighting that brings the yacht's interiors to life. This is a yacht that embodies the spirit of 'barefoot luxury' - a testament to m2atelier's design philosophy and their commitment to creating spaces that are as beautiful as they are functional.
