It is rare to meet a yacht owner who is so passionate about his yacht and so available! So we have interviewed the owner of MY 360° and asked him about the new interior decor of the yacht revealed last week...
- Who are the artists who helped you with the design?
The 360 yacht retrofit was designed by two California designers, Yvonne Colacion of Colacion Studios and Kathy Troutfetter of Laidlaw Schultz architects.
- What was the inspiration of the interior design?
The classic sweeping lines on the vessel’s exterior was the inspiration for the interior’s modernistic interpretation of art deco design. Colacion Studio and Laidlaw Schultz architects focused on creating an elegant, energetic environment, reminiscent of the 1920's, but with all the amenities expected by today's yachter. The interior is rich in texture and detail, recalling the art deco era with a modern twist, uplifting the spirit and soothing the soul. Colacion Studio and Laidlaw Schultz architects worked with ISA Yachts on the retro fit of the classic yacht pulling from international resources from France, Italy, Japan, Germany, Thailand , as well as the United States for this modern deco interior.
- What was the aim when designing the interior of MY 360°?
Meeting a large while sophisticated design appeal... This luxury yacht offers guests a diversity of socializing and entertainment spaces. Breath taking panoramic views from the Main Salon and Observation deck are further defined by the usage of wenge blinds acting as picture frames for magnificent ocean views. In the Main Salon, while exploring the details of the two decorative screens influenced by the great art deco designer Edgar Brandt, guests are enticed to experience the ocean views once again. This richness of details and finishes continues to engage the guest with ebony accents, fine silk velvets at the sofa and a rich and lush silk and wool carpet throughout the Main Salon. On the Observation Deck the 360 surprises the guest with an uplifting leopard custom wool rug which is both sophisticated and playful. For video entertainment viewing guests are invited into a large seating arrangement grounded by a fireplace opposite a Hollywood inspired art deco sofa and four large comfortable deco lounge chairs, richly detailed with wood accent.
- And does the dream carry on with the guest's accommodations ?
Diversity and surprise inspired the design of each guest cabins. Each room was approached as a unique experience; the Owner’s Suite is bold, rich in art deco influence with it's large ebony headboard, writing desk, rich bedding materials and large seating area. The 360's VIP suite is certainly art deco with a modern twist in it's precise usage of ebony above the headboard, it's large scale decorative mirror and inviting deco lounge chair provided by the great reproduction art deco house, Anne Hauck. The smaller guest cabins are both uniquely different, the starboard cabin offering an uplifting light and elegant experience with its expansive usage of mirror above a delicately carved adjoining headboard. While the port side guest cabin is bold and soothing, this clean bold approach is extended through the forward double cabin.
