Amid an era of economic uncertainty, Italy’s nautical sector is bucking the economic trend, presenting an opportunity for design firms across the board.
The husband-and-wife duo Roberto Palomba and Ludovica Serafini tested the waters this yacht-show season with a promising collaboration with Permare, an Italian shipyard founded in Sanremo in 1973. Together they unfurled the latest Amer Yacht F100 Glass Cabin, which, much to the design studio’s surprise, won them the World Yacht Trophies 2023 Semi-Custom award at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
Palomba Serafini is just one of many companies tapping into a trend fueling the yachting world’s performance on a global scale. From the displaced oligarchs living on floating palaces to the techies setting sail on Bauhaus-inspired lofts — individuals across the board are spending more and more time away from land, industry leaders say.
She said it wouldn’t be the first time the nautical world made history with the design world, pointing out that visionaries like Italian designeronce developed furnishings and interiors for the ill-fated Andrea Doria transatlantic vessel, and visionaries of today like architect Renzo Piano designed the Crown Princess cruise ship, which was built by the Italian company Fincantieri in 1990.
