YACHTS & YACHTING 131
Finishes throughout are luxurious but considered . “ The materials , finishes , and colours are restricted , giving a sense of continuity to the spaces for this new series – and emphasizing pure daylight as an essential ‘ material ’,” Forakis enthuses . “ Through seamless surfaces , subtle curves , and flowing planes , we wanted to remind people at all times that they are on a ‘ vessel ’ meant to transport them through space and time toward the future .”
The materials and palette include walnut for the walls , teak and holly soles for the main and upper deck interiors , black marquina and satin snowflake marble for the bars and countertops , and a range of textures and materials in off-whites , warm greys and browns punctuated with occasional orange highlights .
It is another part of the holistic design philosophy that creates a sense of luxury and lifestyle that both hides and highlights that fact that you are on a yacht . Designed both for living and for life on the water without compromise , CLX96 marks a bold new step both for CL Yachts and for yachting .
