When the Meyer Davis studio began imagining the interior for a new Baglietto project, it liked the name’s symbolism. The Vesta56 yacht concept is all about “the quiet strength of home, the comfort of sanctuary, and the enduring presence of spaces designed not just for living, but for feeling truly at home.”
This is according to Gray Davis, the New York-based studio’s co-founder. Vesta is a fitting name because she is the Roman goddess of hearth and home. “Each material, curve, and proportion is imbued with intention to reflect that spirit,” Davis continues. In fact, Baglietto’s design brief for the 184-footer (56-meter) called for big, comfortable places for a family to gather together.
As much as there’s a cosmopolitan aesthetic to the Vesta56 yacht concept interiors, there’s simultaneously a softness. Materials like raffia and leather (the latter in warm and inviting cognac tones) look and feel inviting. Rounded shapes do the trick, too. Travertine marble and anthracite-toned finishes lend polish and luxury, yet in a quiet way. The materials all come together quite effectively in the saloon, dining area, and upper-deck lounge. Of course, they also set the mood ideally in the master suite—the definition of an owners’ sanctuary.
Overall, Will Meyer, the studio’s other co-founder, “The result is a vessel that doesn’t just move—it becomes. It welcomes. With Vesta56, Meyer Davis leaves a lasting mark==not through spectacle, but through sanctuary. A superyacht not just to behold, but to come home to.”
Enrico Gobbi, meanwhile, and his designers from Team for Design received a design brief as well. It was equally important for them to ensure that the Vesta56 yacht concept met Baglietto’s vision. The lines avoid superfluous or distracting styling elements. Just like Meyer Davis, the Italian design team needed to ensure large alfresco spaces and interior volumes could co-exist without interfering with the sleek profile. Note particularly the thin aft-deck overhangs, which somewhat mimic jet wings. The jet comparison is fitting, too, since Gobbi strove for her lines to look like they were in motion.
Although this is a concept design, Baglietto can apply the engineering backbone from similar-sized projects, like a custom 56-meter currently under contract.
