Meet Zuretti , a top French design studio from Nice, that specializes in establishing the most amazing and fabulous settings within residences or luxury yachts . As every project is unique, their dedicated team considers every interior design project very carefully. From the schematic design phase to the construction supervision, they make sure the clients are heard and understood. Today, Luxury Yachts is about to introduce this top French interior design studio that’s so prestigious amongst the yacht industry.

Credits by Zuretti

Everything began when the superyacht designer François Zuretti started his career in 1975 with Triad Condas. This was a Paris-based Lebanese company that specialized in the architecture and interior design of Middle Eastern palaces, Royal residences and parliaments. With that experience, François learned the concept of ostentatious luxury and what it meant.

François found the passion for yacht design world through the help of George Nicholson in 1987, and since then he has been designing superyacht interiors with some famous projects completed along the way. In 2001, Zuretti moved his studio from Geneva to the French Riviera and is now based in Nice. Besides the residential projects, the designer has also completed over ten projects that include luxury yachts .

Zuretti worked on the luxury interior design of legendary superyacht Eco, alongside designer Martin Francis, and followed that with MY Shamwari in Viareggio that led to a long-standing collaboration with the Azimut Benetti group. Other completed custom superyacht designs include Princess Mariana, Pestifer I and II, Lady Christina, Amadeus, Apoise and Imagination.

Focusing on custom yacht interiors , Zuretti Interior Designers have worked with leading shipyards including Lürssen, Feadship and Royal Van Lent, and Oceanco. Zuretti has also won ShowBoats awards for several projects over two decades including for  Eco ,  Ambrosia II ,  Lady Lola ,  Linda Lou, and  Ambrosia III .

As you can see, there’s a major inspiration for the royal palaces in each set provided by the amazing luxury yachts. The contemporary and classic concept style is one of the Zuretti ‘s design trademarks.

Zuretti Interior Design

François Zuretti, a trailblazer in the world of luxury yacht interior design, started his career in 1975 at Triad Condas, a Parisian company focused on architecture and interior design for Middle Eastern palaces. Over a decade later, he pivoted his career towards the yachting industry and founded Zuretti Interior Design in 1987. The firm has grown substantially since its inception, cementing its status as an industry leader with a team of nearly 50 employees, including Managing Director Sébastien Gey. They collaborate with high-profile shipyards such as Lurssen, Feadship, Royal Denship, and Oceanco, enhancing their worldwide reputation and impressive portfolio.

Zuretti Interior Design is deeply rooted in a philosophy that emphasizes meticulous attention to detail, believing that “there are no trifles in design.” The firm blends its Italian heritage with a modern flair to create elegant, luxurious spaces. The key specialization is custom-designed superyachts, but their skill set extends to private residences, apartments, and offices. The company keeps pace with industry changes and client preferences, demonstrated by its evolution from designing yachts with hidden interiors to now creating ones that have a seamless connection with the natural environment. Their newer designs often feature full-length windows and open balconies, providing a harmonious balance between the vessel’s interior and the sea. Sustainability is another growing concern; recent client discussions reveal a preference for materials sourced responsibly, from fabrics to marble.

Zuretti’s portfolio is punctuated by landmark projects that serve as testimonies to their design prowess. The firm has won numerous ShowBoats awards for their projects like Ambrosia II, Lady Lola, and Linda Lou. Beyond yachts, Zuretti’s reach has also extended to prestigious establishments like La Mamounia Hotel in Marrakech. Notably, their designs are not just limited to projects with unlimited budgets and grand scales. With the advent of advanced technology and materials, François Zuretti sees a future where smaller yachts may gain popularity, offering the same level of luxury but with a more intimate atmosphere. Whether catering to the most opulent tastes or meeting the demands for sustainability and intimacy, Zuretti Interior Design continues to set the standard in a continually evolving industry.

Matthieu Zuretti on creating the world’s most luxurious yachts

The socio-economic impact of the pandemic has sparked the need for many of us to reconnect with nature. For some, this has created the drive to embark on a nomadic life. For there is nothing more soothing or inspiring than spending the days sailing the seas and drifting off to the calming sound of waves.

With more of us seeking to move our lives closer to the water’s edge, creating the perfect night’s sleep at sea is a challenge most designers dream about. But finding the tactile balance between form and functionality on board is no small feat. From selecting the right materials that are durable and weather-resistant, to designing in a constraint of awkward corridors and low-ceilings. The task of creating an environment that delights and dazzles in what is essentially a moving vehicle is something only a few design experts have been able to perfect.

As one of the most distinguished names in superyacht design, the Zuretti Design studio brings decades of experience to maritime living. Having designed some of the world’s most breath taking yachts, the studio understands the nuances of creating the perfect night’s sleep at sea. Recently, we spoke with Matthieu Zuretti, board member and procurement director at Zuretti Design Studio , who shared with us the elements he considers when designing superyachts .

Savoir: How did your journey with yachts begin?

Matthieu Zuretti: From an early age, I was captivated by my father’s work on yachts. My father, Francois Zuretti founded the studio in 1987 in Geneva, before moving to Nice to be closer to the yachting world of the French Riviera. My interest and passion for yachts began with a fascination for naval design and engineering. The combination of aesthetic beauty, technical innovation and practical functionality of yachts captivated my attention.

What are the key differences between designing residential properties and yachts?

The main challenges in the realisation of yachting projects include the management of limited space, technical constraints related to navigation, and the need to integrate navigation-specific systems. Compared to residential projects, weight constraints, resistance to the elements and safety at sea are unique considerations.

What is the most important element that helps you deliver exactly what the client wants? 

Finding the right suppliers is essential. This ensures the quality of materials and equipment used in yacht building, helping to meet customers’ high expectations in terms of performance and style.

The combination of aesthetic beauty, technical innovation and practical functionality of yachts captivated my attention.

How do you approach making the best out of limited spaces in a yacht?

Bespoke is often the ultimate solution for making the most of limited space on a yacht. Every inch of the space can then be maximised to meet the customer’s specific needs, while maintaining comfort and aesthetics.

What impacts and drives your creativity the most? 

For me, creativity is stimulated by constant exploration of design trends, travel, observing nature and the arts. Team collaboration – the exchange of ideas and the diversity of experience – also helps enrich the creative process.

What role does sustainability play in your projects?

Sustainability is increasingly integrated into our projects. We do this through a focus on the use of eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient technologies and designing for maximum energy efficiency.

What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned throughout your career?

Among the key lessons of my career, I learned the importance of adaptability in the face of technical challenges. The need for effective communication with customers, and the constant quest for innovation to stay at the forefront of the industry.

Does sleep play an important role in your life?

Sleep is crucial to maintaining an optimal level of performance. Healthy sleep routines and stress management are top priorities to ensure lasting productivity and creativity.

And lastly, what is one luxury cannot live without? 

The luxury I couldn’t give up is free time for reflection and socializing. Also, the opportunity to travel and discover new horizons. Everyone has their own priorities when it comes to luxury, and it’s essential to find a balance that contributes to personal, family, and professional well-being.

The alchemy of combining comfort and luxury with functionality is something Savoir has championed for over a century. Our latest endeavour, Savoir at Sea, celebrates the unique challenge of crafting the perfect night at sea. Allowing our clients, and designers, to enjoy a lifetime of restorative, quality sleep, wherever their life may take them.

Amadea: On board the 106m Lürssen superyacht complete with a dedicated party deck

Careful attention to even the tiniest feature was key to the creation of 106m Lürssen Amadea . Impressive? Precisely, says Sam Fortescue.

From the outset, Amadea’s owner was determined that his 106-metre Lürssen should be a project to leave others in the shade. “The key to his brief was to make Amadea one of the most detailed vessels ever built: millions of hours spent on creating and assembling… and then finding the smallest snagging points,” says Evgeniy Kochman, founder and CEO of broker Imperial , which acted as the owner’s representative.

Monaco-based Imperial has a reputation for, shall we say, exactitude. The very name sends a frisson of fear down the spines of boatbuilders, who recognise that Imperial requires total precision in every element of the yacht, particularly the finish.

Yet despite  Amadea’s  astonishingly detailed finish, she was built quickly by the standards of a yacht of this size. From the first steel cutting, delivery took just 31 months. “That is very fast,” says Michael Breman, sales director at Lürssen. “We were given the opportunity, in order not to waste time, to use engineering solutions previously arrived at.” In other words, the technical innards of the yacht were based on an existing project –  Quantum Blue , launched in 2014. Even so, the captain says they had the time to personalise and polish every detail of the boat before delivery: “The warranty list pretty much didn’t exist,” he tells me over coffee and patisseries from  Amadea ’ s classically trained French pastry chef. That’s partly because a flurry of late upgrades, notably in the galley and owner’s bathroom, added about six months to the build – at the same time taking time pressure off for fixing small problems. And it’s partly that Imperial’s rigour in planning means that there are no question marks left when work begins.

“We are recognised for being ‘inflexible’ and above the expectations of our client,” Kochman tells me. “But this is what success is made of: the partners working with us have to deal with this philosophy, and so far… we can proudly say this vision has been followed by the greatest yards and designers of our industry.”

I board  Amadea  along the passerelle, because she is berthed port-side to in the harbour at Vilanova, Spain. But most visitors will arrive in one of the custom Windy tenders, where their first view will be the teak of the beach club, which is partly overhung by the 10-metre pool on the main deck, overflowing down a glass wall behind the boat’s backlit name. It is an impressive way to make the boat’s acquaintance. “I tried to make it dramatic,” says exterior designer  Espen Øino  of the pool. “Loungers at either side kind of float in space, and look like two wings coming off it.”

Assuming you’ve hurried up from the beach club, eager to get on board, you would have missed the angular base to the transom – just one of a myriad of tiny details Øino dropped in. “You can naturally sit down there and take your shoes off without putting chairs out,” he tells me, before asking, “Did you notice it?” I confess that I did not, and move quickly on to what really did strike me: the large number of small, personal corners where you can relax unobserved. And nowhere more so than at the front of the superstructure, where a wing creates a private nook on each deck, which has been well filled with cushions and loungers.

But here again, I’ve missed something. “It’s a clamshell arrangement,” Øino tells me – a comment that makes more sense when I see the aerial view of this part of the boat, which resembles three overlapping shells cascading down from the four silver satellite domes. And it turns out this feature is something that Øino introduced after personal experience on board yachts. “I visit a lot of these boats and I receive [commercially sensitive] phone calls,” he says. “Sometimes there can be a lack of cosy spaces.”

Unexpectedly for such a large yacht, cosy spaces are not in short supply. Even the main deck saloon – which has clearly been built to impress with its double-height atrium, hand-painted Pleyel grand piano, leather-book-clad walls and full-beam dining table – offers warmth. Much is down to interior designer François Zuretti’s vision, which pairs the grand with the intimate: hand-painted Michelangelo clouds on the ceiling above the dining table; or the dozens of warm organic tones delivered via the backlit whiskies, brandies and rums in clear bottles behind the bars. “The [owner] asked for an authentic classic representation with the integration of classic furniture from the 18th century,” Zuretti tells me. “Alcohol, books and accessories are part of the design.”

But Øino has also been clever with the layout, which offers lots of recesses for seating and magnificent sea views through drop-down bulwarks. “Detailing such as the stainless steel, onyx panels, deck motifs – a lot of work went into it together with the owner,” says Øino. “Normally, the good boats come out of clients that are really engaged with the project.”

The owner of  Amadea  has taken great care to stay out of the limelight, and yet his influence is everywhere on this yacht. Just look at the vast art deco-style albatross that soars off the bow. “We worked with Willem Lenssinck, an artist from the Netherlands, who built it from stainless steel. It was then welded on to the hull,” says Øino. It weighs a staggering five tonnes. Or take the galley on the top deck. It gleams with copper pots and pans, offers a huge grill area and even a live tank for lobsters. “It’s a guest area really,” says the captain. The idea is that those on board can get involved with their food if they want to. It serves the so-called winter patio – a dining area that will seat up to 24 in a space decked with ferns and painted with lianas.

Water tinkles softly down the slate wall, and indirect light falling through opaque ceiling panels looks like daylight. It feels like a secret Parisian eatery, not the top deck of an ultra-modern yacht. And yet just a few centimetres behind the greenery, the main exhaust runs up to the vents above. Such is the build quality that not a decibel escapes through the multiple layers of insulation.

The deck outside, however, is built to be anything but quiet. Here, 20,000 Watts of built-in speakers, plus lights and even lasers, are very much designed to be heard. For this is the party deck, where a good-sized spa pool flanked by sunbeds can be converted into a stage where bands and DJs plug straight into the ship’s audio system. “We’ve only ever had it up to half volume,” says the captain with a mock grimace, “but you could feel your chest pounding.”

“It’s a party area,” says Øino. “The deck terminations are inverted on this deck and the one below, so the structure lends itself very well to anchoring lights and speakers. The geometry wasn’t accidental.” A storage area to one side reveals equipment including a teppanyaki grill, a rotisserie and a hog-roaster. There’s even a crane available to lower it over the side so it can be taken ashore for a beach party. “This is something completely unique,” says the captain.

Equally unique, to my mind, is the  cinema  on the bridge deck below. The projector and big screen fully retract when not in use, but there is something special about the two main sofas. The captain hits play on the rocket sequence from the 2014 film  Interstellar  and my whole seat begins to move. As we blast through the stratosphere, it tips forward, wobbling like crazy, then suddenly we reach space and there is an eerie stillness. This is D-Box motion control. All that’s missing is a popcorn machine, I reflect, before spotting exactly that behind the bar.

Another key part of this boat’s appeal is the way that space has been divided up. Naturally, there is a private office on the owner’s deck, but it is not huge. Zuretti has given it the glorious feel of a private room in an old-school gentlemen’s club, complete with overstuffed armchair and a hand-painted map of the world on the ceiling. But it is an intimate space. For less personal business, there is a small conference suite on the lower deck by the guest boarding platform (next to the humidor and wine cellar, it turns out).

The owner’s deck has all the features you would expect of such a large yacht: a dressing room, a bathroom with an ornate bath recessed slightly into the floor, a beauty salon and a gym. But by far the biggest space is devoted to the owner’s cosy saloon, bar and dining area. Yes, there are marbles, rare woods, exceptional stone and wood inlay work, but the result is warm and inviting. Step outside on to the huge aft deck, and there is a large circular wooden table to seat eight. Clever design means that extra circular leaves fold out and turn it into a table worthy of King Arthur and his knights, with room for 16. Glass windbreaks can be opened when not required, and there’s a firepit and comfy sofa area.

More evidence of the obsessive detailing comes from the ensign staff here, which would make a decent mast on a classic boat: hidden hydraulics rotate it inboard for polishing and maintenance. And at the other end of the deck, the owner’s cabin opens out on to a private terrace with a mosaic-lined spa pool: as you recline on the stainless-steel bathing rack, observe the glittering light show above your head. All the signs of the zodiac have been included in a panorama of the night sky. “You’d have a heart attack if you could see behind that panel,” Lürssen’s electrical technical officer (ETO) tells me. “There are 2,000 fibre-optic cables and a spinning disc for the twinkling effect.”

Lighting is a subtle presence on board wherever you are. Indirect LED strips outline many items of furniture on deck and are even built into the stainless-steel poles that can be planted in lugs in the deck to support the extensive awnings. Everything, from the entertainment to the curtains and blinds, is controlled via dedicated iPads. “There are 6,500 devices in the interior design,” adds the ETO.

No expense has been spared in equipping  Amadea . For instance, her helipad, which can accommodate a craft of up to 3.5-tonnes take-off weight (an Agusta 109 or an EC135), features a glide path indicator. Resembling for all the world a dormant party light on the foredeck, this is far beyond class requirements. And when it comes to the full-beam tender garage, the captain can’t help lingering. There’s the mandatory limo tender, a Pascoe beach lander, but the real attraction is the cabrio sports boat, known on board as the “boss boat”. With styling that echoes the mothership, the two custom Windys are works of art in their own right – something that Espen Øino is also keen to point out. “You are going to mention them in the article, right?” he wants to know. “People don’t realise that we designed those as well.”

After four hours on board, I’m still discovering details as I reluctantly retrace my steps down the passerelle to the waiting taxi. None of it has happened by accident. “Imperial’s managing style is very thorough, attentive to details,” says Zuretti, who had worked with them only on smaller boats in the past. “Suppliers also need to step up and reach quality requirements.” Øino agrees. “They are very thorough in the way they go about things. Sometimes that means more work for us, but at the end it’s all useful; all good. As these boats get bigger and bigger, the investment is considerable. One cannot go light-heartedly into such a project.”

And yet it’s clear that he enjoyed the experience – there is fun in the design. “In general, creativity and corporate structure don’t always go very well. It went very well on Amadea . I really felt in symbiosis with the owner. It was like a game of ping-pong getting faster and faster with more pace.” And it looks like everyone won.

Rock Me Amadea

Among the many elements of  Amadea’s  immaculate interior, the hand-painted Pleyel piano stands out. This Paris piano builder has been in business since 1807, founded by a talented Austrian musician who adopted French nationality. Over two centuries, the brand has been embraced by artists from Chopin and Ravel to Daniil Trifonov and Vanessa Mosell today. Pleyel no longer manufactures pianos, but it still accepts occasional custom orders, such as this Directoire baby grand. Measuring 1.9m x 1.5m, the piano’s soundboard and ribs are built of solid spruce from Italy’s Fiemme Valley. Pleyel’s famous metal frame revolutionised sound quality in the 19th century, and it is still in use today, albeit computer-optimised now. It features a Renner action and a Laukhuff keyboard in spruce. All the hardware, from pedals to hinges, is in 24kt gold. The vines and flowers hand-painted on to the body of the instrument were completed by master painter Pierre-François Battisti. All told, the piano took 18 months and thousands of hours to build.

Description

Fran’_ois Zuretti began his passion for luxury decoration in 1975 with a Lebanese company based in Paris named Triad Condas. This company focused on architecture and interiors of Middle Eastern palaces. Zuretti then worked for 9 years as project manager in charge of interiors of Royal residences and parliament. There his partner was Andre Paccard, an architect and designer of King of Morocco.

In 1987, George Nicholson introduced him to the yachting world. Zuretti designed the interiors of M/Y Eco beside Martin Francis. Then he continued with M/Y Shamwari in Viareggio. This project was his first step with Benetti Shipyards, and later on they continued collaborating together in many projects. Zuretti also established a long standing friendship with Paolo Vitelli.

Owners from all around the world have trusted in the brand to create an incredible yacht interior. Zuretti also collaborates with the most important shipyards of Germany and Holland.

In 2001, the studio moved from Geneva to the French Riviera which is closer to the main yachting event such as Monaco Yacht Show, Cannes Festival International de la Plaisance among other. They have recently move to a a big and spacious studio in an Art Deco building in the centre of Nice, near Promenade des Anglais.

Zuretti considers every project special and a challenge. Fran’_ois Zuretti listens to every project and tries to understand the client. It's his goal to immerse into the clients world & culture and be a part of their professional and social gatherings.

See Mark Zuckerberg’s glossy new $300M, 287-foot superyacht ‘Launchpad’

All aboard S.S. Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly gifted himself a $300 million megayacht, dubbed “Launchpad,” ahead of his 40th birthday.

The staggering 387-foot-long vessel was seen floating at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after arriving at its berth earlier this week, The Sun reported Thursday.

The multi-layered luxury ship’s sleek exterior was designed by Espen Øino International and boasts a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, according to SuperYacht Times.

Reportedly ranking as the 45th largest yacht in the world, the interiors are just as aesthetically pleasing and reportedly executed by Zuretti Interior Design company, a France-based company specializing in unique and custom yacht design.

The breathtakingly beautiful floater stands out with a navy blue theme matching an American flag perched proudly on its wood-paneled stern.

There are several outdoor areas where the social media maven will be able to relax with his family and the indoor levels feature glass paneling allowing for tons of natural light.

There also appears to be a helipad perfect for whenever the Facebook co-founder wants to travel to his vessel by air.

The Feadship-built yacht, built in 2022, can comfortably fit 24 guests aboard, requires a crew of 48, and is said to cost $30 million a year for upkeep and usage, according to Superyachtfan.com .

Boatworld insiders have been buzzing with speculation that Zuckerberg is the owner of the newly minted mega-cruise ever since it made its main voyage from the Netherlands last week.

The tech titan was spotted touring the Russian-commissioned megayacht in early March, though the impressive boat didn’t arrive stateside until this week due to sanctions, according to The Sun.

The website reported that Zuckerberg purchased the pricey yacht – along with its own $30 million partner boat — most likely as an early 40th birthday present to himself.

The boat reportedly traveled to Florida after being granted special permission to be imported just weeks ahead of Zuckerberg’s birthday on May 14.

Zuckerberg’s yacht is just 30 feet shorter than the length of fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos’ 417-foot megayacht Koru, which the Amazon boss snagged for a whopping $500 million.

Zuckerberg’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Ecco lo yacht di Bernard Arnault, ecologico e ricchissimo d'arte

L'uomo più ricco del mondo e amministratore delegato di LVHM non ha certo badato a spese.

Symphony, l'assurdo yacht di Bernard Arnault

Chi è il proprietario del Symphony?

Arnault, francese classe 1949, è l'amministratore delegato del principale Polo del lusso a livello globale: LVMH . Il gruppo comprende brand come Loro Piana, Vuitton , Sephora, Bulgari e Pinarello . Solo per citarne alcuni. Da qui, insomma, viene il suo enorme patrimonio personale che ammonta a oltre 200 miliardi di euro .

Quanto vale lo yacht di Bernard Arnault

Se consideriamo la ricchezza di Arnault allora lo yacht Symphony, del valore stimato di circa 150 milioni di dollari , è poca cosa. Ipoteticamente, se Arnault decidesse di spendere il suo intero patrimonio in yacht come questo, potrebbe comprarne ben 1300 yacht come questo . E avere così un'intera flotta.

Symphony è a dir poco spettacolare già a vederlo dall'esterno: un enorme scafo in acciaio con una forma slanciata ed elegantissima , un colore che alterna il blu e il bianco, una grande piscina esterna sul ponte inferiore a poppa, un beach club, spazi esterni immensi con addirittura scivoli e altri giochi d'acqua che trasformano lo yacht in un parco giochi.

Non solo, sul Symphony c'è anche un ponte privato per il proprietario e interni di puro lusso, con spazi ampi e un'importante collezione d'arte (Arnault è noto per essere un collezionista di spicco).

Come scrive il sito SuperYachtfan il Symphony ha pochissimi paragoni nel mondo . Parliamo di una specie di palazzo di lusso galleggiante, con interni progettati da Zuretti Interior Design e - in assoluto - il progetto di Feadship dalle dimensioni più importanti.

Uno yacht ecosostenibile?

Oltre agli interni, l'arte, i grandi ponti in legno e le piscine lo yacht Symphony ha un'altra caratteristica: l'ecosostenibilità . Parliamo, infatti, di un' imbarcazione ibrida . Il motore principale funziona insieme a una serie di batterie la cui energia è accumulata elettricamente. Circa il 30% del movimento dello yacht è alimentato da energia pulita , e non da carburante fossile.
