The brief was to create a timeless jewel with soft and sinous lines, using classic tones but modern details. The spaces of Florentia are vast and uncompromising, record breaking in category and culminate in the VIP cabin located on the top deck, with a spectacular panoramic view and private terrace with cosy sundecks.

Florentia’s outdoor spaces, studied in the smallest detail, are all focused on comfort and soft shapes. Entirely made of aluminium, made to measure as if they were part of the structure of the boat, they have all been designed to integrate perfectly and organically with the external line and overcome any trends.

On the main deck, there is a relaxing seating area with rear uprights that act as shading when the sun is low. At the center is sculptural table that acts as a visual ‘hearth’, a focal point around with the seats with organic shapes revolve. From a stylistic point of view, the challenge was to give lightness to the important volumes; given that Florentia is 52 metres with 4 decks and unique of its kind.  Large windows lie along the entire side of the boat, as well as sliding windows aft and bow, guarantee light and air to the interiors, reaching their peak in the owner’s balcony on the main deck.

The interior design of Florentia is inspired by the shapes of nature, the sea, and the waves – combined with the touch of technology and research of functionality. The soft lines of the architectural mold continue in the environment, with neutral colours and precious materials to create a unique and refined boat with an atmosphere of peace and relaxation. The setting of the interior space is that of a home, where the spaces are generous and moving inside is comfortable, the opposite of series yacht.
