The Viareggio-based shipyard Rossinavi has recently delivered its 52-meter masterpiece Florentia, previously launched during a private ceremony in June.
It is a custom project with exterior design by Rome-based architecture firm Studio Vafiadis whilst Italian architect Carlo Colombo together with his Design Studio A++ looked after the design and styling of the interior areas.
“A yacht characterised by romantic lines for a timeless elegance that features refined interiors and generous spaces. Florentia is a vessel in which functionality and efficiency are a testament to style,” says Federico Rossi, Chief Operating Officer of Rossinavi.
“Florentia is the most representative example of a fully bespoke superyacht made in Italy. This is a boat entirely designed and built around the owner and his needs. We have been challenged with the difficult brief to create a timeless gem where classic features and shapes meet modern details”, says Stefano Vafiadis of Studio Vafiadis.
“Florentia’s interior design is inspired by the shapes of nature and ocean waves combined with technology and continuous research of design functionality. – says Carlo Colombo – The soft lines of the boat’s architecture style pervade the space complementing neutral colours and precious materials contributing to a unique and refined yacht for a peaceful and relaxing experience”.
Rossinavi Florentia: that’s how a masterpiece is done
Similar to a proper home, Florentia’s areas are of generous dimensions allowing the guests to move around easily and comfortably. Also, the ceiling height of the boat’s interiors is of 2.35 m, which is remarkable.
Key areas include a main deck, which welcomes guests on board, an upper deck featuring a multi-functional salon, the fly deck boasting a VIP Suite, and finally a lower deck that accommodates the remaining cabins for the guests and crews. Florentia can welcome up to 12 guests and 11 crew members on board at the same time in navigation.
From the main deck, it is possible to access the salon and dining room, while the owner’s cabin is at bow. The main salon and the dining room are both majestic spaces, formally divided only by a structural bespoke cabinet. The main living area is aft and features structural sofas that extend to the center of the boat while the dining table is forward.
In Florentia, the multi-scenic approach leads to the creation of a symbiotic language, which characterises this special yacht design line.
