The fact that her name is Attitude ended up having several meanings for all of the team members. From our point of view, besides the personal meaning that the word already evoked to the owner, it also ended up having a strong meaning for the whole team and the project. This vessel started its construction in the middle of the pandemic, and as almost every other thing (if not everything) in this historical period in time, it represented a challenge in many ways. In our case to start with, the project was located far from us which meant not being able to visit the site as much as the designers would usually do. At the same time, the designers had a multidisciplinary team based in different parts of the world with whom the designers were forced to meet and work virtually for the first half of the project. So of course these, together with many other situations, created a particular scenario and a new type of challenge for many of us, and always the key to successfully move forward with the project was the attitude with which the designers approached things. As the owner’s interior architects, the designers always seek to interpret and represent their needs and wishes from the beginning. With DOM 133, this was an easy start as the designers basically had a white canvas and full openness from Baglietto to do so. Nonetheless, the task of fully understanding the project and aligning the owner’s requests with the vessel’s structure and shipyard guidelines (without being able to see the project from the start because of the pandemic) was challenging. However, the designers must say that the essence of the project and the people who were part of it made this feeling almost seamless. the designers were always excited to bring to life the owner’s wishes at the same time that the shipyard was excited to commit to the construction and deadlines of the vessel, and this was something always present and highly valuable.

The essence of the project – the art of living, has always been our passion. It is no secret that with the pandemic everyone re-discovered the way the designers live and moreover how the designers co-live, thus giving a new meaning and appreciation for space, comfort and family time. This became one of our main guidelines: MY Attitude would have to be able to host a family which intends to spend longer-than-usual periods of time onboard, around different types of destinations and with a family that will change throughout time (exe. children will grow up, new types of guests we’ll be welcome on board, new interests will be developed, etc). For this, the designers tried to pay special attention to the materials and ambiance the spaces on board provided, so all these changes would be equally comfortable and livable onboard today, as well as in the future. Another aspect that has always been our starting point which has become more popular nowadays- was making it feel truly like home; where the boundaries from in and out are seamless, versatile spaces with flexible purposes and where you feel a good connection with your surroundings. Thankfully Baglietto was always there to facilitate this, like the UD aft door that fully opens, or the MD aft deck that can be used for sunbathing and swimming, but can also host an intimate “alfresco” evening reunion with friends. Finally, it is worth mentioning that our holistic approach where the designers contribute all the way to the last stage by completing the spaces with special features like a piece of art or even a cozy and tasteful bed arrangement, was always supported and developed in close collaboration with the family. This to us brings an extra and highly appreciated value, because it facilitates to truly tailor each of our projects to their user, making it truly unique and one of its kind, just like MY Attitude is.

MD Salon: magnificent Sophie Mallebranche metal mesh glass panels, paired with a custom Viabizzuno chandelier. The salon’s full height windows are framed with custom slatted Oak wood millwork with a Stephane Parmentier wall art piece. Central staircase: the wall panels are all in Edelman shagreen leather, with custom artwork by Edith Beurskens. UD Salon: retro illuminated Ivory onyx niche with almost-like floating shelves, showcasing handpicked accessories from Italian artists such as the Murano vases by Massimo Micheluzzi. A light feature sculpture by Fontanarte highlights the starboard side window bench, were you can comfortably sit for some “work from home”, a snack or a backgammon match. The custom made parquet, mimicking the exterior teak, enhances the connection from the interior to the exterior space created mainly by the veranda doors which open fully by stacking on the outer part of the port side stairs. As a result, a beautiful in-out one space is created where several activities can be carried out whilst enjoying the company of a large group of people in the same space. Sun Deck: All the features in this deck are “dressed” with a sculpture like approach. The portside bar together with the pool’s bar, are ensembled in a geometric play of wood and stone, simulating a sculptural approach with clean lines and minimalism. This provides a calm feeling to enjoy this outdoor space, whilst at the same time it feels unique and tailored to user’s needs. Other materials: Glass applied in various ways. Stopsol mirror glass to hide TV’s, tinted and fume glass to create lightness amongst the wood, tinted mirror to deepen the size of spaces, etc. Studioart embossed leather. Ivory onyx, Cote d’azur, black emperador and grigio orobico marbles applied in bathrooms nightstands and cabinet tops.
