Pulina Exclusive Interiors

First announced in early 2018 with a teaser line drawing that hinted at a sporty exterior, elongated bow and dramatic sheer, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7207" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RIO62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN2022">RIO</a> was destined to be something unique for the Italian shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a>. Featuring exterior design and interior architecture from Frank Laupman of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega Architects</a>, the yacht, which was delivered in May last year, is an evolution of a design trait Laupman has been playing with for years. With interiors from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> in collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4774" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pulina Exclusive Interiors (Company)">Pulina Exclusive Interiors</a>, the yacht’s interior volumes are characterised by bright, light and beachy tones, bathed in light from the floor-to-ceiling windows which wrap around the superyacht’s decks. Here we take a closer look at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7207" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rio62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN2022">Rio</a>, a fully custom superyacht which changed hands shortly before its completion and therefore one which shows a shipyard and designers ability to adapt to an entirely new set of desires in next to no time.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235402/image/large-e1a16ff327fc3ed9381a37796d345aff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235402">One of the most characteristic features of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7207" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RIO62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN2022">RIO</a> is her extremely long bow and dramatic leaning profile that elongates the vessel and gives her the presence of standing high in the water. To accentuate this specification of the first owner, Laupman and his team deviated from the expected and pulled the mast head away from the centre and toward the aft of the vessel. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235415/image/large-9bf91717d387ece5d9fc255d9f4304b1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235415">Developing the yacht from these initial lines, Laupman and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> opted for a large amount of glass, with the aforementioned floor-to-ceiling windows exaggerated further by the low bulwarks on all sides. Utilising a trait from an inspiration series created by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega</a> for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> following the launch of the 73-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2749" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yalla73.0m (239'6&quot;)CRN2014">Yalla</a> in 2014, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7207" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RIO62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN2022">RIO</a> incorporates a characteristic arch to the aft, sweeping from the superstructure of the owner’s deck to the transom. A dynamic tool, the arch not only unifies the hull and main deck, but also makes the entire superstructure appear smaller and more tapered than it really is, giving the entire vessel the sense of leaning direction. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235409/image/large-c8e29ca83611d51d65894fede12aedf1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235409">Laupman explained, “The risk with an arch in this position is that it could intrude into your view from the aft deck, which is why the arches are hollow, allowing the eye to pass through them, while still retaining this interesting disruption of the hull line that creates a unique and special appearance.” With echoes of this distinctive arch visible in other <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega</a> designs, a dramatic example being the 65-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3676" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Illusion65.0m (213'3&quot;)Heesen Yachts2013">Galactica Star</a>, now Illusion, it is clear to see how the motif has evolved over the years; on Rio this results in a more upright and angular feature. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235436/image/large-4bdbd06be6d583bc5f606c0f8b9e98f7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235436"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235435/image/large-ff6fd4dad7ebd2954231e6c94bd4a872.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235435">Offering an elegant support for the owner’s deck aft, the archway has allowed Laupman to pull the overhang further aft and elongate it without visually impeding on the profile of the superyacht. This owner’s deck aft is home, as is custom now, to a large dining table, lounge chairs and sunbeds, while the foredeck features a private owner’s Jacuzzi and lounge area with an awning and table, utilising that elongated bow.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235434/image/large-5060b2bc586ee9d020bf646e3e509343.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235434">While the uppermost aft deck area is dedicated to the guests, the main access point is an external stairwell which leads from the owner’s deck. This is because the internal volumes are dedicated to the technical management of the yacht, with the interiors home to the emergency generator, captain’s cabin, first officers cabin, pantry and wheelhouse.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235413/image/large-fbd242d3e73f9226f8aa0b95cf67fd5c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235413">Laupman has unified the design of this technical deck with the entire form of the vessel with the use of a number of clever motifs. The wing stations on either side of the vessel have been defined as separate forms which protrude from the superstructure at graphic angles and catch the light. Laupman explained, “the wing stations are a hard form with a sideways angle which are integrated with the visors over the windows that accentuate the entire feeling of the yacht ‘tumbling home’.” These lines are then balanced by another, gentler arch at the aft of the upper deck glazing, which adds yet another dynamic touch to the yacht’s exterior profile.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235422/image/large-c19dfe91444942dc3920d242dc9e990d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235422">When it comes to her interiors, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7207" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RIO62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN2022">RIO</a> has been carefully configured by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega</a> to emphasise a flowing sense of interior-exterior harmony, while <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4774" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pulina Exclusive Interiors (Company)">Pulina</a> have created an interior styling that brings to life the owner’s wishes for bright spaces and a happy atmosphere. Alessandro Pulina commented, “The concept of the yacht was Tropical Mood, as prevailing upbeat white tones forming a backdrop throughout are set off with lively pops of colour. We wanted to create a sort of colourful and exotic amusement park inside the yacht, with unique art selections and decorations, made to measure with the ever-changing experiences inside the vessel.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235423/image/large-e7e204566d38ecc7fa7fc7b9a42eaadb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235423"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> added, “The preferred woods are American walnut and white lacquered oak in staves, selected respectively for the floors and walls all through the yacht. Crema d’Orcia and Calacatta Vagli Oro marbles were chosen for the bathrooms, chiming with the predominant light hues. The most vivid notes come from other marbles: the blues of the Azul Macauba in the saloons and the mossy Irish Green in the outdoor bars light up the spaces with colour combinations that vaunt a decidedly marine vibe.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235444/image/large-f465bb43e7905145e9f3c680c7c572f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235444"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235445/image/large-7796ccf33d4784b54ae10491edba77ff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235445">Diverging from the standard saloon layout, guests enter from the aft deck sliding doors where they are greeted by a standing bar, the dining table and then the lounge area with a huge TV and integrated stereo system. The bar at the entrance to the interiors creates a sense of conviviality, by greeting guests with a social and welcoming atmosphere and acting as a bridge between the exterior and the dining area. This is then maximised by the bespoke round drum table that can accommodate as many as 12 guests. This opening decision sets the tone for the entire interior, which is truly focused on the entertainment of guests and the creation of unique spaces to enjoy with friends and family.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235442/image/large-0fbd5b301b4deffc937aa0226656e5a4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235442"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235443/image/large-22b3267e48a0cee25fa40d9db67f46cc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235443">With six guest staterooms, including a full beam owner’s suite on the owner’s deck, a full beam master on the main deck and four lower deck staterooms, all with their own ensuite bathrooms. While the owner’s suite and master staterooms align with the bright and beachy style of the main deck and sky lounge, the lower deck staterooms have each been styled in playful tones and prints.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235429/image/large-d4df958ddb0be3944377aa2f4d504559.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235429"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235426/image/large-94b81ba6edc981a33666d4b51550def2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235426">A representative of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> explained, “The owner and his family were directly involved in the styling and design process of the staterooms, in fact each cabin was made to measure to meet personal desires of each guest; one of the owner’s express request was to have bright spaces and a happy atmosphere full of colours for the younger family members especially. For this reason each guest cabin has white lacquered-oak staved walls that are enlivened with dashes of colour. Each stateroom is finished differently, personalised with its own colour scheme – red/brown, green/blue and pastel green – for the wall panels, profiling and furnishings.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235446/image/large-c3c26641f9c4aa122d8e0f97d1e60522.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235446"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235447/image/large-fd2a510963844b87d6d99cfdf10556bc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235447">Alessandro Pulina highlighted some of the fully custom elements to the interior, noting, “An impressive detail would be the presence of 9,000 slats, used to create the walls of the yacht, together with interesting curve elements made by hand. Every wall is characterised by a linear led illumination which highlights all these slats continuously and accentuates the shadows and light. In fact, we wanted to convey dynamism through the combination of dualistic contrasts and expressive colour ranges.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/235408/image/large-c184ac2c699ae87c98e717b3f5af043a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/235408">Like the exterior design, the interior plays with shape and form and the result is a highly unified yacht with flowing interior and exterior spaces.This article was originally published in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/superyacht-times-issue-42" target="_blank">Issue 42 of SuperYacht Times newspaper.</a>&nbsp;To read more stories like this one and to never again miss another issue of the SuperYacht Times newspaper,&nbsp;<a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/report/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank">subscribe here</a>.

The canopy of the sun deck does provide some cover by the entrance to the main saloon, though. There is enough space for an outdoor dining table under the shadow of the sun deck, so guests can wine and dine alfresco regardless of the weather.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215946/image/large-e1662a41162436ca0c8bdbfa5c0e2774.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215946">Another irregular feature of Maori M125 is her forward deck. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5592" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Architettura Marco Ciampa (Company)">Studio Architettura Marco Ciampa</a> installed a large seating arrangement, comprising a C-shaped settee with a large table nestled in the alcove. The forward deck is bolstered by her unique hull shape, which has been cut in a way to provide views from the space.

CRN’s 62m motor yacht Rio sold 

CRN is scheduled to deliver the 62-metre Project C138, otherwise known as RIO, later this year – and she’s been snapped off the market already.

CRN’s 62m superyacht Rio finds owner ahead of launch 

In 2018, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> announced it had signed a contract to build a new 62-metre custom superyacht. Less than a year later the client withdrew when he decided he wanted to build bigger. Re-inventing a one-off project designed around a specific owner is never straightforward and can put the shipyard in a tight spot, but construction has continued with barely a pause and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> is expected to launch her later this year.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/194508/image/large-25008528529b8f83d0a1fbaf02ea491a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/194508">The original owner had commissioned Alessandro Pulina of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4774" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pulina Exclusive Interiors (Company)">Pulina Exclusive Interiors</a> to develop a mostly white interior as a blank canvas or neutral backdrop for a colourful art collection. Those involved in the project likened the highly personal and pristine look to something out of Star Trek.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/194507/image/large-76176e20cf84f17d35f90534b1a7bb33.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/194507">“The shipyard naturally wanted to retain as much as possible of the interior that had already been built but give it broader appeal,” says Pulina. “The challenge was to create something that would attract a wide range of potential buyers without being bland or mundane.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/178653/image/large-ecd221d77fcce6c2e91f712657981e17.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/178653">Together with the shipyard, the designer has pulled off a dramatic transformation and created a chic yet comfortable living concept based on premium materials and natural tones. The principal woods are brushed white pine and pickled oak, which are combined with Crema d’Orcia, Sahara Noir and Calacatta Gold marbles. Bulkheads and facades are broken up by vertical pine slats with an elegant kink where they meet the ceiling and sole, which also serve to disguise the AC outlets. The warm and welcoming ambience could not be more different from the stark original concept.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168590/image/large-76ea49e4a8d2915401f165956fcf052a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168590"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168589/image/large-5c58d4df73d40c49e723de93ab4ceaab.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168589">“We’re interior specialists and I think that shows in the high degree of custom detailing and integration,” says Pulina. “When we selected the marble slabs, for example, we wanted high quality but also samples that had a pattern to their grain that would add richness to the décor.”The yacht’s crisp exterior styling with near-vertical bow by Frank Laupman of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega Architects</a> has remained unchanged. Signature features include the 170 square metres of glass windows, and especially the full-height glazing in the lounges on the main and upper decks. Full-height windows also provide panoramic views from the master stateroom on the owner’s deck over the private foredeck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168582/image/large-03003c8b06942518c55c7aa204bda8a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168582">“The foredeck is the owner’s open-air lounge and can feature a Japanese-style tatami table sunk into the deck like on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2751" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Atlante54.8m (179'9&quot;)CRN Spa2015">Atlante</a>, or a more conventional hot tub says Gabriele Piacenti, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a>’s Senior Project Architect. “Crucially, this private area is out of sight of the wheelhouse on the bridge deck above.” &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168581/image/large-8c72d82fa49b11d8956262d951820c90.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168581">The foredeck covers around 120 square metres and its size is difficult to appreciate until you stand in the bow and look back towards the master stateroom.

Spread across 140-square-metres, the layout includes a sky lounge that can be used as a cinema, theatre, or private study.&nbsp;At the bow, the master suite boasts 180-degree windows and a double bathroom with a grand tub with an outdoor view. With the owner’s privacy assured at all times, the nearby outdoor lounge area can accommodate a spa-pool zone or a dining environment with tatami table - all secluded from view.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168588/image/large-e2729482153a0e789c3951281548a303.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168588"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168581/image/large-8c72d82fa49b11d8956262d951820c90.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168581"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168594/image/large-0dbf80c84da2575b1e06c9e132fc63a1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168594">Luxury relaxationOn the main deck, the comfort and grandeur of the lounge are suited to both dining and relaxing. Surrounded by full-height windows and with a mirrored surface at the bow, the interior space is both illuminated and amplified – an attribute that adds to the yacht’s sophisticated design. Further down, the lower deck is dedicated to wellbeing as guests are invited into the living area that is integrated with the beach club. It is a true oasis of regeneration complete with hammam, massage room, chromotherapy shower and gym.&nbsp;In terms of accommodation, two guests can be treated to the 70-square-metre main-deck VIP cabin, while remaining guests will enjoy another VIP room on the lower-deck and an additional four staterooms on the lower deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168582/image/large-03003c8b06942518c55c7aa204bda8a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168582"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/105188/image/large-4528edd6ccdb85ab09e04cbbf679a230.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/105188"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168589/image/large-5c58d4df73d40c49e723de93ab4ceaab.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168589">Contemporary decorSaid to be an advanced concept in contemporary living, the interior layout is focused on combining comfort and elegance. Exquisite woods, such as white lacquered and brushed pine and oak, are complemented by Crema d’Orcia and Sahara Noir marbles to give a sophisticated juxtaposition throughout.&nbsp;Thanks to the yacht’s wide windows, the colour palette of white tones, warm natural hues and dark accents shimmer in the light. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/169625/image/large-7b6622a2e97bda614fc650642866552b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/169625"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168591/image/large-2b82411ac4f2d2feda37e40b0bc327df.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168591"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168595/image/large-41ba828a881917214f18d8fdb70d6d78.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168595">Sporty personalityThe sportiness expressed in the flowing lines of the hull and the near-vertical bow is what Stefano de Vivo, Chief Commercial Officer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> Executive Board member, describes as “giving new life to the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> design”. The custom design process at the yard works in a way that ensures “there is not one yacht that looks the same as the other”. “We start with a blank sheet and make sure the client’s talent, vision and inspiration are transformed into an initial design. Then, over time, it evolves as it is reworked and refined by our in-house teams,” he adds.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168592/image/large-219c292c766788a47465c37045b563d1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168592"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168583/image/large-1a13f616e83236f042de37660f550f37.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168583" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168585/image/large-5910121f5d3cca40b2bef3bc5a22236f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168585" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">To find out more about the expertise behind <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> custom design, contact the yard directly via the information below.&nbsp;&nbsp;
