Reflecting on the design process, Partner and Head of Design at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/908" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hot Lab (Company)">Hot Lab</a>, Enrico Lumini stated, “Our goal, together with the owners, was to create a recognisable, intense style, full of details, but at the same time able to be received by a large audience. Our interpretation of the owners’ wishes was for a modern, almost contemporary style both in the geometries and also the materials, but at the same time full of elements that could recall the interests and activities of the owners. We have also tried to modulate the design in such a way that each deck recalls the same style, but at the same time with different elements that are capable of recalling different moods.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300521/image/large-d77f107712c9cfbe9e919a55d4884e59.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300521"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300523/image/large-51be3b331610e416fc2ab45323bb8a1f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300523"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300527/image/large-c10b51d73a898682e8e91f66b55e9eeb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300527">Entering the main saloon, the space displays its own unique character, showcasing a burgundy colour palette, complete with gold accents. Contemporary curved white sofas surround a circular low-level coffee table, while a large circular carpet fuses the fluid design together. Notably the entrance arch and furniture in the main saloon displays lacquered burgundy furnishings, enhancing the room’s individuality.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300517/image/large-4b9eb95f0a0469a6a8a2179a4c4ed676.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300517"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kasif41.9m (137'6&quot;)Bilgin Yachts2023">Kaşif</a>’s interior concept derived from the owners’ brief and their deep connection to all things marine. Enrico Lumini reflected, “We quickly realised that the preparation and dedication of the two owners – he a captain and she an architect – would require something more than our usual organisational procedure. The entire family is strictly related to the sea and the maritime world, and while the husband oversaw most of the technical matters, his wife collaborated closely with us in creating such a beautiful vessel.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300509/image/large-48fd015df2e9e35a9725c55f4202c80b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300509"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300535/image/large-3286007cf1d52da9d0413db6073c275d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300535">This owners’ adoration for the ocean inspired notable features in the dining area. Illuminated by curved overhead lighting and framed by two large pillars, the circular dining table houses plenty of seating, offering idyllic views of the surroundings. The formal dining area is defined by an eye-catching <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5605" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Paolo Castelli (Company)">Paolo Castelli</a> designed golden lighting feature. The lighting feature was designed to "recall the sea, as with the theme of the yacht, and the piece represents a school of fish swimming together simultaneously,” confirmed Lumini.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300525/image/large-567efc74a68429a9ed101c9d064a1ba7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300525">This ocean motif is evident throughout the yacht’s interior, even in the entrance to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kasif41.9m (137'6&quot;)Bilgin Yachts2023">Kaşif</a>. Stepping onboard, the entrance showcases an abstract three dimensional version of a large fish, adorned in a lacquered purple tone, complete with Pirarucu leather in its inner inserts. In addition, the beach club houses a unique piece of artwork, designed by the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/908" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hot Lab (Company)">Hot Lab</a> team and subsequently created by Alex Turco. Lumini described it as “an art piece created in resin overlapped with teak stripes, cut in such a way to recreate a wave.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300507/image/large-6c0b405e5fb0f7e23d47d35fea4eba68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300507"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300500/image/large-b105b59e53aeba401424f7381edf9896.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300500"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300499/image/large-029c98493fe02f3023e0861f3fee7b20.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300499">Bespoke furniture is scattered throughout the superyacht and has been designed by the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/908" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hot Lab (Company)">Hot Lab</a> studio team with “a gentle, smooth and extremely organic approach,” according to Lumini. The furniture has been customised to fit the owners’ request, while aligning with the interior design theme. Flowing, natural shapes take centre stage onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kasif41.9m (137'6&quot;)Bilgin Yachts2023">Kaşif</a> and this is most evident in the staterooms. Carefully designed illuminated built-in cabinetry enhances the opulence onboard, while marine-inspired art wall hangings inject a unique personality into each space.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300506/image/large-be10438664baa0e613bf3580ba585fda.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300506"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300515/image/large-46a4006dbd76a331207fe56971ca46b9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300515"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300518/image/large-52afc2e320c25e4053b138fc4e084dc3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300518">Moving to the upper deck, Lumini stated, “I think the best piece is for sure the office desk and library designed for the upper saloon – it is masculine and gentle at the same time, perfectly integrated into the general design of the room and yet popping out its own specific beauty.” Showcasing a muted colour palette and marbled-adorned surfaces, the saloon is brought together by the overhead modern, curved lighting feature.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300536/image/large-b91e86fa689a9df063136ea47b6b88e9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300536"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300533/image/large-874a94d12f003171bba889ef06c6783a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300533"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300531/image/large-cbae04010632ac1c0450b170db0e008a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300531"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300530/image/large-12da476b57be635f24e6dd3312170acd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300530">Reflecting on the creation of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kasif41.9m (137'6&quot;)Bilgin Yachts2023">Kaşif</a>, Emrecan Özgün of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Unique Yacht Design (Company)">Unique Yacht Design</a> stated, “our primary goal was to create a yacht that not only pushes the boundaries of maritime performance but also redefines the very concept of exploration on the open sea.” In terms of performance, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kasif41.9m (137'6&quot;)Bilgin Yachts2023">Kaşif</a>&nbsp;features twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1408" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Caterpillar Inc (Company)">Caterpillar</a> engines and can reach a top speed of up to 14.5 knots, she offers her owners a range of over 5,000 nautical miles when cruising.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300490/image/large-690b0383f37bc60ca0ae6f6ef0dbaf4f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300490"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300493/image/large-1800ce34a4a2046810e35aaa0f34e510.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300493"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300498/image/large-1eb4316ce3d90afeae71cb43d599c08f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300498">
