SOMEWHERE B.YOND THE SEA

May 23, 2023

A SYBARITIC SYMBIOSIS EMERGES FROM THE CONVERGENCE OF ITALIAN FURNITURE POWERHOUSE GIORGETTI AND LUXURY YACHT BUILDER BENETTI, CONCEIVING A NAUTICAL RETREAT SUBMERGED IN AN UNMISTAKABLY LIBERATING YET SOPHISTICATED SPLENDOUR. 

Sailing through the high seas is the new Benetti B.Yond 37M yacht, the first low emission model from the Azimut|Benetti Group – making it the greenest one too – thanks to the state-of-the-art Siemens Energy propulsion and power supply system. A testament to the glory of steel and aluminium, it is designed for sustainable, long-range cruising in the utmost comfort. The white steel hull expresses its elegant temperament, distinguished by the painted stainless-steel profiles which include an unconventional teak-covered head band. 

This revolutionary concept, signed by architect Stefano Righini, cultivates an exceptional sense of on-board liveability for voyages of any length through the inclusion of a fourth deck. Apart from offering the prime opportunity to bear witness to an even more breath-taking panoramic view, this extension grants an extremely flexible layout to meet all the shipowner’s needs. Curated by Benetti architect Mauro Izzo, the interiors revel in an open and spacious concept to augment the possibilities of customisation for a sincerely personalised outcome, akin to a second home. In walks high-end furniture label Giorgetti, taking the lead on all the customised indoor and outdoor furnishings of the B.Yond 37M.

A refined yet welcoming ambiance is composed through sought-after materials in which natural colours prevail, enhanced by hints of deep blue in the fabrics and complements that starkly stand out against the optical white of the walls – concocting a melodious blend of tones, reminiscent of the sea and sand. The large hull windows brighten up every facet of the yacht with natural light and permit uninhibited admiration of nature’s immersive spectacle, reinforcing the magnetically boundless aspect of the waters. 

Giorgetti’s sophisticated language runs through all the decks, conveying the brand’s ability to design complete spaces and projects with finesse. Dedicated to guests, the main deck in between the VIP cabins is marked as a relaxation area defined by the organically classy shape of the cream Tamino sofa; this is accompanied by the sculptural Ripple armchairs and marble-cum–crystal glass topped Amiral coffee table on one side, and the loopy Norah and classic Ode chairs on the other.

The upper deck, the hub of on-board socialising, presents a lounge spot in the outdoor area at the stern, where the protagonist is the modular Apsara seating system, illustrated by a base with afrormosia wooden slats. It is escorted by homonymous tables and clean structured armchairs. In the bow, the open-air relaxation area showcases a pleasant play in geometry via the Loop armchairs and Apsara low tables. 

Heading towards the indoor living space, featured are the lines of the plush sofa and armchairs which mesh design details from different eras with industrial and contemporary architecture; this is paired with the Galet glass-top coffee table. On the opposite side, the striped backrests of the Aura armchairs twin well with the vertical wooden panels at the bar area, creating a soothing visual compliment. 

Making a strong impact in the dining room is the metallic suspension light in the formation of an upscale barbed wire. It illuminates the 10-seater dining table, constructed with a solid base of cast bronze and sleek marble top, paired with barrel backlike armchairs. Collectively, these contrast the intricately linear patterned rug.

Over on the bridge deck, the master cabin is home to a writing desk, replete with details apparent in the juxtaposition of right-angle lines and flexible shapes. It is coupled with the iconic Progetti armchair of which its hue is in perfect alignment with the abstract rug dipped in a spectrum of blues. A small but noteworthy highlight here is the Otto pouffe, secretly concealing an extractable swivel table in painted steel. Exclusively used by the shipowner, the veranda at the stern emphasises the nautical lifestyle further using the sinuously shaped Gea sun loungers. 

Finishing off with the sun deck, the Break table and Aldia chairs in the dining area share a modern perforated design with its rectangular gaps to befit the sunny climate. Imbuing a playful touch is the ultra-contemporary Clop leather rocking horse, while the vases, trays and lamps from the Atmosphere collection complete Giorgetti’s elegant seafaring vision. 

A breath of fresh air and a good dose of Vitamin Sea awaits at this maritime mobile manor, wrapped in soothing selections which not only reflect the colour palette and shipowner’s individuality to a tee but also the effortlessly nonchalant attitude of the aquatic elements upon an idyllic escapade.
