tactile, veined quality of the marble from the owner’s own quarry, the
occasional woven basket and in the wood. The brushed oak floorboards
have an exaggerated grain that is noticeable under bare feet.
The main salon provides more than 500 square feet of living space.
Comfortable low seating in neutral fawn colors is brought to life with
splashes of color from Missoni Home cushions. Further forward the tones
darken, with the black wood of the dining table and Mirto chairs by B&B
Italia, a reinvention of the classic director’s chair featuring dark brown
leather and black painted aluminum. In the slated wood panel overhead
is the striking Light Forest fitting by Danish company &Tradition. It
crawls across the ceiling, ending in drips of copper-skinned lampshades
that represent flowers. Elsewhere other pieces, such as the Hexx table
lamp by Diesel with Foscarini and Tom Dixon’s Base floor light in brass,
reveal Kazmirci’s appetite for future design classics. Brass tones are dotted
all over, such as in the door handles, and the color resonates with the
bronze tinted mirrors.
The master cabin towards the bow might at first be mistaken for
the owner’s suite. It’s a full beam, generously proportioned space
decorated in a dominant palette of grays, laced with thin seams of
copper above the low leather-clad headboard. Here, and throughout
the yacht, pearlescent textured wall coatings in muted violet have
been provided by Clarke & Clarke. Taking the floating glass staircase
down a flight, you come to the main accommodation area. In perfect
symmetry are two twin cabins and two
doubles. On the upper deck is the
wheelhouse and the large, secluded owner’s
cabin. The walkaround bed enjoys views on
three sides and the headboard provides easy
access controls for lighting, blinds,
temperature and music control.
Marla does not want for sociable outdoor
spaces, with her 650 square feet sundeck
with sunpads, fitted bar, secondary helm
station and dining table for 12. On the main
deck, another large dining table sits in shade
but further aft are more sunpads and to the
bow is generous, sun-drenched seating. The
beach club added substantially to the yacht’s
allure for her owner. “It’s a fantastic feeling
to be on a 32 meter yacht and be able to get
just 20 centimeters [less than eight inches]
higher than sea level. I look forward to
spending plenty of time there,” he says.
An extremely sociable individual, he
imagines at some point clearing the tenders
from the almost 600 square feet of aft deck
to create a dance floor – with music
controlled by iPad, naturally.B
