Interiors
The Interior Design Brief for deVosdeVries design was to create “something different”and contemporary, but with a casual and welcoming feel, using the excellent skills of Nautor’s craftsmen. The direction determined by the initial design proposals resulted in a light grey, stained oak finish with a brushed treatment throughout, maintaining a link with the base material Nautor often uses for their interiors. This has been complemented with contemporary raised paneling on the upper sections of the bulkheads, using a crown-cut veneer with bookmatched grain patterns. The carefully selected veneers are small works of art in themselves and are repeated on the cabin and wardrobe doors.
Contrast is provided by the dark, crown-cut wenge floors, fitted with a distinctive cross plank detail. This gives the interior a slightly industrial undertone. The interior has many details that make it extra special, ranging from the beautifully crafted, rounded corner details, to the handrail recesses and table finishes. Neutral soft furnishings in a selection of grey tones finish it all off and create a link with the grey colour scheme of the deck hardware. The interior created is fully functional with all the required comfort and amenities constructed using lightweight foam and carbon cores in order to meet the strict weight requirements. Michiel de Vos deVosdeVries design said “We at deVosdeVries design were extremely proud to be able to design this interior and work with Nautor, a shipyard with such a great history of building excellent sailing yachts.
