Best Interior Design Motor Yachts 500GT and Above, Boat International Design & Innovation Awards 2019
The Boat International Design & Innovation Awards 2019, held in January at the prestigious Alexander Girardi Hall, brought together industry leaders, yacht builders, and enthusiasts to celebrate outstanding achievements in the world of yachting. The Best Interior Design Motor Yachts 500GT and Above category showcased an outstanding selection of models that captured the industry's finest achievements. The title was claimed by M'Brace, with several other notable finalists, including entries from Turquoise Yachts, Amels, Oceanco, and Tankoa Yachts. The event was both ticketed and invitation-only, ensuring an exclusive and celebratory atmosphere to honour the year’s most notable yachts.
Winner
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.
