Baglietto DOM115 Yacht Interiors Open Up to Outside World

The entry-level model in Baglietto’s DOM series borrows some big ideas from bigger yachts. With delivery of the first hull a few months away, we’re getting a look at the Baglietto DOM115 yacht interiors to see how the concept works.

The first DOM115 yacht entered outfitting last fall. The DOM range—which includes the DOM133—comprises displacement yachts for leisurely, intimate, homey cruising. In fact, “DOM” comes from domus, the Latin word for home. Capable of covering the entire U.S. East Coast and similarly long distances, everything about the design emphasizes enjoying the natural surroundings.

Firstly, Studio Vafiadis, responsible for styling and interior design, penned the main aft-deck glass doors to conceal when fully opened. It’s a far more effective way of turning the main saloon and dining area into an indoor-outdoor area. It additionally unites the alfresco lounge with the interior lounge. Considering an infinity pool lays just beyond the alfresco seating area, nothing obstructs the vistas and therefore the feeling of being immersed in an anchorage.

Secondly, the Baglietto DOM115 yacht interiors can almost entirely open up to the outdoors. On the upper deck, just like the main deck, there’s full-height glass on three sides. The difference, though, is that the glass slides open on each side on the upper level. This particularly calls to mind features much more common to bigger superyachts.

Many megayacht builders and designers currently promote projects in which they say the goal is to create a closer emotional connection to the sea. Studio Vafiadis executes it subtly and cleverly for the Baglietto DOM115 yacht interiors. For instance, beiges, greys, and light blues—all tones from seascapes and landscapes—appear throughout hull number one. Each of these keeps with popular current trends, too, yet isn’t so trendy as to look dated in months or years. Furthermore, the combination creates a warm welcome for the owner and guests (10 people can stay aboard).

Finally, strong architectural elements come together with comforting residential elements. Stefano Vafiadis, head of the design studio, looked to 20^th-century architects for inspiration. Primarily, Italian Rationalism architects of the 1920s and 1930s inspired him. During this period, function dictated appearance, as did subtle elegance. We’ll have to wait until this DOM115 yacht is completed to see these, along with how the studio further incorporated some of Baglietto’s history. For now, the design brings together striped and textured oak, contrasting fabrics, metal finishes, and untreated leathers, among other things.
