Sanlorenzo

S


anlorenzo has launched the 64Steel, Attila, its biggest-ever model
at 64m in length with a beam of 13m, five decks and a volume
of 1,600GT. Built for an Argentine owner, the yacht features an
exterior by Officina Italian Design and Sanlorenzo Style Division,
and an interior by Francesco Paszkowski Design, which also worked with
Margherita Casprini on furniture and decor.
A distinctive feature is the connection by a double stairway
between the aft area of the main deck, which features a dining
area and pool, and the lower-deck beach club, which has a sauna,
hammam, massage room and gym, and covers 78sqm with the side
platforms open. The design ensures guests aren’t separated as they
enjoy these two key outdoor areas.
Other features include an owner’s deck with a large whirlpool bath
in the bow, four guest cabins and a full-beam VIP suite on the main
deck, the ability to carry two 10m-plus tenders, a maximum internal
beam of 12.5m and a touch-and-go helipad, which can be turned into
a solarium.
Sanlorenzo’s upcoming models include the SD96 featuring exterior
lines by Italy’s Zuccon International Project and an interior by Spanish
architect Patricia Urquiola, the latter designing for a yacht for the
first time. The SD96 will premiere at September’s Cannes Yachting
Festival.
Replacing the SD92, which was launched in 2007 and sold 27
units, the 28m-long SD96 will be the new entry model to the semi-
displacement range, which includes the SD112 (34m) and SD126
(38m).
Sanlorenzo involved the likes of Dordoni Architetti, Antonio
Citterio Patricia Viel (ACPV) and Piero Lissoni – the company’s Art
Director since 2018 – in interiors before asking Urquiola to make her
yachting design debut.
Massimo Perotti, Chairman of Sanlorenzo, said: “I chose Patricia
because I wanted to add a more feminine touch to the interiors in
Sanlorenzo yachts, something which until now had been foreign to the
nautical world. And today she is the most sought-after woman in global
design thanks to her ability to combine beauty and comfort. “
Urquiola’s interior focuses on ‘transformability’, making for a boat
capable of adapting to the needs of those on it. For example, in the

main-deck saloon, a dining table for 10 can be created from a bench in
front of the sofa.
The upper-deck skylounge, with fully opening windows, can be
used as a living room, dining area or cinema due to modular furniture,
while on the lower deck, the living room can be transformed into a VIP
cabin with bathroom through a system of sliding panels.
“Our starting point for this collaboration with Sanlorenzo was the
sea, a great source of inspiration for the whole development of the
concept and therefore the interior of the yacht,” Urquiola said. “The
materials, shapes and colours evoke the marine world, creating a
flowing and elegant space full of natural colours.”
Sanlorenzo is also developing the SL96Asymmetric, which will join
the SL line of planing yachts – ranging from the SL78 to SL118 – and
be the second asymmetric design following the launch of the SL102
at Cannes last year. The SL96Asymmetric is expected to debut at the
next Boot Dusseldorf in January 2020.
As with the SL102, Zuccon International Project is again designing
the exterior and retaining only one side deck, on starboard side, while the
29m-long SL96 will feature an interior by Italian designer Laura Sessa.
The layout for the saloon on the main deck includes a large dining
room with a full-height glazed window to port that faces directly
onto the sea, while to starboard is a living room that opens onto a
balcony. Colours chosen for materials and finishes are those of the
Mediterranean, a distinctive sign of Sessa’s projects.
