30 YACHTS & YACHTING
Sculptural architecture is a feature of all Pershing GTX80 ’ s interiors , showcasing seamless interconnection between the lounge and the cockpit , which is also illuminated by lighting integrated in the ceiling . The division of the lacquered ceiling panels with metallic silver paint creates an interplay of intersecting diagonal LED lights , ensuring uniform light diffusion across the entire deck – from exterior to interior – with a pared-down design that focuses on multiple angles .
The highly customised interior decoration is epitomised by the master cabin , which is clad from top to bottom in cloud-effect sky blue leather panelling , applied with different spacings and widths , in the ultimate expression of the style concept underpinning this new project .
The colour pairings have been chosen to point up contrasts , with the leather sofas in pale but warm colour tones combined with colder steel-effect metallic lacquer , just as the sky blue leather in the cabins is juxtaposed with the warmer feel of the theme wood . All the bathroom
areas have metallic lacquered panels on the walls and feature sculptural furniture in a sky blue similar to the leather in the cabins . The spacious , comfortable cabins guarantee maximum privacy for guests with respect to the crew quarters , which are accessed from the outdoor cockpit area through a door under the staircase leading up to the flybridge , hiding it from view .
In perfect Pershing style , this new project speaks the language of technology , not only in terms of the engineering , but also as a stylistic hallmark enhanced by the materials chosen for this extremely comfortable environment . The various settings use materials featuring tones that are evocative of steel , water and electricity . Each material is also powerfully threedimensional : from metallic lacquers to sky blue leather , all the surfaces are enhanced by finishings that are never repetitive and colour tones that often change depending on the point of view .
The raised helm station in the bow has 360-degree visibility , thanks in part to the huge windshield with no central pillar and the extensive use of continuous glazing . A sunroof above the windshield can be opened for natural ventilation .
