ll our stores were designed using the same

stone, walnut and alligator. Customers kept

saying “I love your shops, I want you to design

my home” so eventually we did. Yachts were the

natural progression.

For us, it’s all about quality. We’ve used the same

signature materials for our yacht interiors, land

interiors and clothing for 20 years because they’re

the best and we will never compromise on that.

Light is life. The more of the outside world you

can see from your home or your yacht the better. It

makes the inside seem so much bigger. I’m not a fan

of standing lamps on yachts though – integrated

lighting is much softer and more modern.

We work with architects and shipyards all over

the world but, of course, we love the Italians most.

The beautiful lines of a Perini Navi make you proud

to be Italian and there’s no backdrop like the

Florentine hills for a spectacular home.

We’ve created everything from a single custom

accessory to full yacht and home interiors. We have

silk looms from the 1700s that we use to create

unique fabrics and everything can be personalized.

Owners always have brilliant ideas for customization.

Spacious homes can handle opulence but trying

to do too much can penalize a yacht interior. I’m not

a minimalist but even on a large yacht dark colors

and heavy furniture can feel claustrophobic.
