The yacht M'Brace was the winner of the Best Interior Design Motor Yachts 500GT and Above in 2019 at the Boat International Design & Innovation Awards.
The daunting request from knowledgeable owners was for an interior that functions for three generations and displays an eclectic art collection and one-of-a-kind furniture pieces at the same time. The yacht would be used extensively as a mobile second home and so needed varied spaces for different activities. Neutral backgrounds are a backdrop to life and art on board. The use of elaborate statement pieces – bathroom mosaics and a hand-plastered atrium staircase with mother-of-pearl inlays for example – is restrained, with more emphasis on showcasing craftsmanship than opulence. The judges noted the result is an ambience that looks and feels collected rather than imagined from matching mood boards.
