Superyachts remain dedicated to providing utter relaxation for guests onboard. While beach clubs, saunas and Jacuzzis may initially come to mind, many superyachts boast idyllic library rooms, allowing guests the opportunity to unwind amid a peaceful sanctuary of books. SuperYacht Times takes a closer look at some of the most noteworthy libraries onboard superyachts.Founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7278" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artonsuperyachts (Company)">Art On Superyachts</a>, Pandora Mather-Lees commented on the importance of keeping books onboard yachts, "Historical books are valuable artefacts in themselves and represent an important part of our cultural heritage. &nbsp; Conservation is vital and the books should have a curator who keeps an eye on them", she continued, "When keeping and displaying books onboard, an inventory should be kept of anything valuable with notes as to its condition."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228970/image/large-59020dc6dcfe6ca6eaf3c5e11b07167e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228970"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228962/image/large-5460737fe44953667cd3e8ab6ba16ade.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228962"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/270" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Octopus126.2m (414'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2003">Octopus</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>&nbsp;| 126.2-metres | 2003The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> explorer yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/270" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Octopus126.2m (414'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2003">Octopus</a> is one of the most distinguishable superyachts in the world and was under the ownership of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen up until his untimely passing in 2018.

While the studio operates in the global market, its expertise is deeply rooted in Italian culture, known for its expression of beauty and pursuit of harmony. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280410/image/large-41a5118706ffc655e38a593ab59c7ed8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280410">How did you become one of the first women involved in yacht design, and what sparked your passion for this particular field?My journey to become an interior yacht designer began during the early stages of my career, when I worked at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luigi Sturchio (Company)">Sturchio Architects and Designers</a>. Handling responsibilities that included attending boat shows and nurturing relationships with shipyards, I found myself deeply drawn to this industry. After a successful collaboration on the two <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a> motor yachts, the 52-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amore Mio 252.0m (170'7&quot;)Abeking & Rasmussen1997">Amore Mio 2</a> and the 52.09-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/917" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vera52.09m (170'11&quot;)Abeking & Rasmussen1999">Vera</a> (previously named as Sea Jewel and Airwaves), I made the decision to set up my own design studio in Rome in the early 2000s. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280411/image/large-f7f376d158564de6b1fec85e490ed65f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280411">During those years, the landscape of yacht design was vastly different. As one of the few women venturing into this predominantly male-dominated sphere, I was usually the sole female attendee in shipyard meetings, and faced a scarcity of reference models to draw inspiration from. Yet this position allowed me to forge my own identity and explore my creative vision freely. Over the years, the industry demographics have undergone a remarkable transformation, becoming more inclusive and diverse.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luigi Sturchio (Company)">Luigi Sturchio</a> was a pioneering figure in innovating the world of yacht interior design and he played a crucial role in influencing my career as an interior designer. During that period, the industry primarily utilised mahogany and cherry woods, accompanied by fabrics featuring white and blue stripes, embracing a colour palette that evoked the essence of the sea. Drawing from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luigi Sturchio (Company)">Sturchio's</a> example, I developed my distinct personality as a designer, ultimately leading to iconic projects like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2301" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Stella Maris72.1m (236'7&quot;)VSY2013">Stella Maris</a>, which revolutionised the perception of yacht interior design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213165/image/large-63f2109c57501d0d15da5336e6ac5876.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213165">You have had the opportunity to work on numerous prestigious projects.

It holds a unique place in my heart and was truly ahead of its time when we embarked on the project in 2008. She was one of the first yachts that aimed to incorporate and emphasise &nbsp;sustainability, a concept that was not widely explored in yachting at the time. Moreover, the owner gave me considerable freedom to realise my ideas, providing a rare opportunity to apply my vision holistically.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213147/image/large-f8065fa21aa7d1c1028f688e722b5d22.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213147"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213156/image/large-09e0bc9f2c13e6a4bbd0e2029f08eef1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213156"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213157/image/large-cd9bce1c9352c3240c3039a86abfb332.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213157">&nbsp;Regarding the design, our main emphasis revolved around the interaction between light and the seamless blending of exterior and interior spaces. Typically, yachts would have innovative exteriors designed by experts like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/82" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Espen Øino International (Company)">Espen Øino</a>, but the interiors often remained traditional. Collaborating with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/82" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Espen Øino International (Company)">Espen</a>, who is a good friend of mine, on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2301" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Stella Maris72.1m (236'7&quot;)VSY2013">Stella Maris</a> allowed us to break down the boundaries between the two areas and create a harmonious design language that extended from the exterior to the interior, which allowed the interior features to reflect the characteristic expressions found externally. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280401/image/large-274d4a1036c0431a87072f9420369148.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280401">One of the standout features of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2301" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Stella Maris72.1m (236'7&quot;)VSY2013">Stella Maris</a> was her extraordinary glass panels, which I conceptualised as dynamic paintings, constantly transforming and enhancing the interior ambiance. Initially, I explored the idea of using Perspex blinds illuminated with LEDs, but soon realised that this would obstruct the breathtaking views outside. Instead, we ingeniously used the stanchions as light sources, allowing a warm and embracing glow to penetrate from the ceiling, creating a beautifully illuminated interior that perfectly complemented the yacht's surroundings. This innovative use of linear lighting was highly appreciated and has since become a trendsetter in the industry, inspiring the design of many other yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280402/image/large-5f0cb7518211ce6b0bb883526784e78a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280402">Innovation extended to other aspects as well, such as the design of filtering zones between saloons and exterior decks. This ingenious concept offered a dual functionality, allowing these spaces to be shared, interacted with, and even enclosed, creating versatile environments that seamlessly transitioned between indoor and outdoor settings. Moreover, using teak both inside and outside, along with these filtering zones, allowed for enhanced natural airflow, effectively reducing the reliance on air conditioning and adopting a more environmentally friendly approach.Could you provide us with some insights into the latest design trends that have recently emerged in the world of yacht design?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280406/image/large-8677abf169687c9e0c48657de8dee75a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280406"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280405/image/large-a9b6cfa05a28f8903c28cb7bac2219d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280405">I find that designing a yacht with the traditional approach from a few years ago no longer holds much relevance. For me, it’s essential to incorporate new concepts and principles related to sustainability. Since 2018, I've been working on designs that aim to change the onboard lifestyle. Recently, scientific calculations have shown that the impact of propulsion is equal to, if not lower than, that of the hotel load. This realisation justified my feeling that while propulsion relies on technological advancements and innovation, interior designers like me can play a significant role in modifying the onboard lifestyle for clients. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280407/image/large-9ef5230bf594b2f12b393043a604f407.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280407"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280409/image/large-1fb324d295df95fdc22ab183f5905afe.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280409">For me, luxury doesn't necessarily mean excess and extravagance. Instead, its essence embodies beauty and quality, which should align perfectly with sustainability. My objective is to show clients that they do not have to compromise on anything, but can expand their vision and embrace a luxurious lifestyle, while respecting certain criteria of sustainability. This challenge has become my passion, and I am dedicated to pursuing it. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/213144/image/large-c2ffb8fa732a4cb49aebc87728c62abb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/213144">I am very mindful of avoiding outdated standards and paradigms that now seem somewhat anachronistic and out of touch with the times. My focus is now centred on this more meaningful direction, where sustainability and luxury can harmoniously coexist, making yacht design not just aesthetically appealing but also environmentally conscious.Can you share some specific examples of how your collaboration with the&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Water Revolution Foundation (Company)">Water Revolution Foundation</a>&nbsp;has helped promote sustainability within the luxury yacht industry?I have known the founder and vice president, Vienna Eleuteri since the time of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2301" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Stella Maris72.1m (236'7&quot;)VSY2013">Stella Maris</a>.

Moreover, I sincerely hope that I have made significant contributions, especially in the realm of interior aspects.&nbsp;Do you have any valuable insights or advice that you would like to offer to other aspiring young designers?Whenever I conduct classes at the Polytechnic University in Milan, I try to inspire students to challenge themselves and perceive yachts as a functioning organism.
