In conversation with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Supernova Design Studio (Company)">Supernova Design</a>: “Today’s clients want spaces that feel personal, warm and connected to the sea rather than purely impressive.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/377379/image/large-2f4235ac63d70aec60f3f85fdb7277c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/377379">For Giulia Grassi, founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Supernova Design Studio (Company)">Supernova Design</a>, which has offices in Lake Como, Monaco and Miami, the path to yacht design began in the marinas of Monaco. Walking &nbsp;with her grandfather, a residential interior designer known for his work with clients such as Elvis Presley, Liberace and members of various royal families. Surrounded by gleaming yachts, those early visits proved formative, inspiring her interest in yacht design. “I asked him to buy me one of the yachts,” she recalls. “He told me, ‘Sweetie, what’s even more rewarding than owning one is to be the designer of it.’”That remark, and her grandfather’s example of being a self-made man, became the catalyst for Giulia’s pursuit of design. After completing her studies, she began her career in Monaco as an intern and eventually rose to head the yachting department at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5440" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sabrina Monte-Carlo (Company)">Sabrina Monte-Carlo</a>. Her time there, she says, gave her solid technical grounding and insight into the expectations of yacht clients.SuperYacht Times sat down with Giulia to discuss her decision to establish <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Supernova Design Studio (Company)">Supernova Design</a>, the refit of the 52-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/268" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Solafide52.0m (170'7&quot;)Benetti SpA1995">Solafide</a>, the studio’s expansion into residential work, and her views on evolving trends in yacht interiors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/377380/image/large-f461764a550db0bdddeeb5b28e350db9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/377380">Founding&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Supernova Design Studio (Company)">Supernova Design Studio</a>Reflecting on her decision to establish <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Supernova Design Studio (Company)">Supernova Design</a> in 2022, Giulia describes it as “a natural step in my journey.” After several years leading the yachting department at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5440" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sabrina Monte-Carlo (Company)">Sabrina Monte-Carlo</a>, she felt it was time to create something of her own. “I wanted to build a studio that reflected my personal vision,” she says, “bringing together a collective of young designers and architects from both the yachting and residential worlds, all sharing the same passion for the sea.”What began as a solo venture soon evolved into a family enterprise and a small team of designers joining as new projects came in.Collaboration, she explains, lies at the heart of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Supernova Design Studio (Company)">Supernova’s</a> identity. Many of the artisans she works with today once collaborated with her grandfather. “They’ve known me since I was a child,” she adds. “It was important to give something back to them, and together we can offer yacht owners pieces that truly reflect their personality and lifestyle.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/377378/image/large-a6475448d6bb9a5ddb89c8125e833d21.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/377378">The refit of&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/268" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Solafide52.0m (170'7&quot;)Benetti SpA1995">Solafide</a><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Supernova Design Studio (Company)">Supernova’s</a> first major project was the interior refit of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/268" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Solafide52.0m (170'7&quot;)Benetti SpA1995">Solafide</a>, a 52-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> built in the 1990s and completed at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4405" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IMS Shipyard (Company)">IMS Shipyard</a> in the South of France. The owner acquired the yacht for family cruising and occasional charter use, with the brief to enhance comfort without compromising her original character.“The aim was to create spaces that could accommodate a large family while preserving the elegance and identity of such a beautiful vessel,” Giulia explains.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/377374/image/large-554a2770696b0c4d629de3da6dafc084.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/377374">The scope of work was ambitious, involving the complete redesign of the main and upper decks. “After the drawings were approved, we had just four months to complete the work, and we handled everything in-house with our artisans, from fabrication to installation,” she continues. “Completing the refit on schedule without compromising quality was our absolute priority.”The decision to carry out the refit at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4405" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IMS Shipyard (Company)">IMS</a> came from the owner’s project management team. The shipyard oversaw all technical aspects, including the restoration of the engines, which were removed and reinstalled during the process. “It required close cooperation between us and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4405" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IMS Shipyard (Company)">IMS</a> to keep the timeline on track,” Giulia recalls. “While they focused on the engineering work, we coordinated our interior installation around it to ensure the yacht could be relaunched on time.” The refit later received the Best in Refit award at the 2025 International Superyacht Society Awards during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/273" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show - 2025">Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2025</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/377381/image/large-70cec902c3d0a687539486452ed1423e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/377381">Following the completion of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/268" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Solafide52.0m (170'7&quot;)Benetti SpA1995">Solafide</a>, Supernova soon undertook another project, the refit of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13962" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zaffiro27.0m (88'7&quot;)Canados1974">Zaffiro</a>, a 27-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/560" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Canados (Company)">Canados</a>. “The owners approached me after hearing about our work on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/268" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Solafide52.0m (170'7&quot;)Benetti SpA1995">Solafide</a>,” Giulia says. “It was very much word of mouth.”This time, the brief came from within the same family, who wanted to adapt <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13962" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zaffiro27.0m (88'7&quot;)Canados1974">Zaffiro</a> primarily for charter use. “They told me they needed the yacht prepared for a specific purpose, and we began a close collaboration,” she explains. One of the family members, a professional singer, wished to use the yacht as a setting for small private performances and events, so the sun deck was redesigned as an open, flexible area. “We dismantled all the fixed furniture and restored the teak deck to create a completely free space,” Giulia adds. “That way, it can be configured for concerts, private gatherings or simply to enjoy time with guests.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/377375/image/large-5f9f87464be53fed13de5673a7056bb9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/377375"> Evolving trends in yacht interior designGiulia observes that yacht interiors have undergone a marked transformation in recent years, shifting from displays of opulence to expressions of lifestyle and emotion. “Today’s clients want spaces that feel personal, warm and connected to the sea rather than purely impressive,” she explains. “Interiors from the 1990s were often defined by gold accents and glossy finishes, whereas now we see softer, more organic shapes and natural materials inspired by light and nature.”Sustainability, she adds, is increasingly central to this change. “Many owners today are conscious of their environmental impact and are looking for more energy-efficient systems and timeless design solutions,” Giulia notes. “Among the clients I work with, roughly half place strong emphasis on eco-friendly choices, while others prioritise time and cost. The younger generation tends to be more environmentally focused, but even long-standing yacht owners are beginning to adopt the same attitude."<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Supernova Design Studio (Company)"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/377377/image/large-2b19354e0591cc38966ebe5af9db0b28.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/377377">Supernova’s</a>&nbsp;future directionAs for current work and future direction, Giulia shares that the studio is presently engaged in the refit of a 20-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> built in the 1960s. “Our focus is on restoring her original character while giving her a new lease of life,” she states.Giulia acknowledges that while <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Supernova Design Studio (Company)">Supernova</a> has focused on refit interior projects, the team is also open to new-build opportunities. “Refit projects have defined our identity,” she says. “They require creativity, precision and strong problem-solving skills. We already have a few requests for new builds and see this as a natural progression for the studio. The expertise gained through refit gives us the confidence to approach new construction with the same attention to detail.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/377376/image/large-4def95170ec9e30743f68da552f7a3bc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/377376">

One of the coolest yachts to join the superyacht fleet this year has arrived in the Mediterranean this month after the 85-metre motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bold85.0m (278'10&quot;)SilverYachts2019">Bold</a> had been handed over to her owner. Taking on the arduous passage across the Indian Ocean, the yacht's 21-day maiden voyage saw her cover the 8,000-nautical mile distance from Henderson, Western Australia to Cala di Volpe, Italy with only a single fuel stop required.

First look at 85m explorer yacht Bold

An exclusive first look at one of the coolest yachts of 2019 - the 85-metre world explorer yacht Bold.

First Look: SilverYachts’ new 85m fast world explorer yacht BOLD

Having recently delivered a 90-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> yacht, the Monaco-based design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5440" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sabrina Monte-Carlo (Company)">Sabrina Monte-Carlo</a> has become a respected interior design studio. Armed with her long-standing knowledge of fashion and decoration on land, Sabrina Monteleone-Øeino took her knowledge to the open seas, breaking into the yachting industry with an initial focus on outdoor furniture that organically evolved into a company that supplied everything from patio chairs and tables to bathroom towels and teacups.SYT sits down with the designer to find out how <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5440" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sabrina Monte-Carlo (Company)">Sabrina Monte-Carlo</a> developed over time and what we can expect to see for the future of the studio.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/84679/image/large-e049de89f9471c3ada0d78a1fd2ba0ba.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/84679">Before founding your company in 1999, what first got you interested in interior design?I started in the fashion and decoration world many years ago. I ran a shop and I also worked on houses for myself and my friends. One day, I moved to a new apartment and I did everything inside beautifully, but outside was not so nice. So I started searching for outdoor furniture and I found a few different brands I liked. Then I decided to open a shop that sold both furniture and decor.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/84680/image/large-0e9be262e0d34a4dfb6d1a719cf79cda.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/84680">So were you already quite involved in the superyacht world? How did you find coming from a fashion background into superyachts?Everybody was asking me to design something, and then people from the yacht industry started making enquiries. At first, we did a lot of outdoor furniture and tableware, and then I found that clients were asking me for indoor decor too - so now we do absolutely everything! It’s strange because we only started with designing small spaces and then as soon as we did one boat, it seemed we soon moved on to shipyards and superyachts.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/84682/image/large-476c6733597d68a8979be5d480fae2e2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/84682">How did the company grow over time?I wanted to have something like a concept store where you have furniture, outdoor furniture and all the accessories such as beach towels, teacups, coffee cups and champagne glasses. I like to have the full set. When you have a balcony, I like to think that you want your balcony with everything on it, so I started the company with my one assistant. Three months later there were six of us, and six months later we were 20, and now we are 32.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/84681/image/large-cd03f073187049e96964b29ced87aab9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/84681">What characteristics are important for a superyacht design to succeed? How do you incorporate that into your company?We have to be very organised because it will be impossible to complete a big delivery if you are not organised. We also need to be mindful of organisation because the company grew so quickly. We are now 32 females. I work with my sister and my two daughters. My first daughter Manola joined the company three or four years ago and since she arrived we are even more organised with all the modern marketing.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/84675/image/large-c21b19770c72fbdd84375f9aeb968c3e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/84675">How do you select the suppliers and people you work with?&nbsp;Quality. I can’t sell something without quality. I even test it myself first at home. I’m not someone who wants to have absolutely everything. I prefer to have fewer brands, but the best ones. The clients know that we never have any problems with quality when they come to us.As far as my team, everything came naturally. I had an assistant and then the accountant and the designer, and now it’s a big family. Everybody in the company has their own responsibilities, and it’s nice because since everyone is in charge of something they are very familiar with, every person knows how to do their job very well.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/84677/image/large-b12cd546451d5222f0c0574c57422bbb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/84677">Where do you see the company in five years time?If we keep working like we are now, we’ll open a new shop in Italy next year. We will also open an online shop in September for tableware and accessories. I have wanted to be online for three years already, but it’s complicated, and now we are finally ready with all the lawyers and authorisations. What is nice is that we will have all the brands we carry in the shop online so everything is very easy. It’s something I’m really happy about.&nbsp;We have three big yacht projects coming as well. We are delivering four superyachts this year - one already happened in May and there are two coming in the second semester. We also worked on the new 85-metre yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bold85.0m (278'10&quot;)SilverYachts2019">Bold</a> by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/899" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SilverYachts (Company)">SilverYachts</a> that was just <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/silveryachts-superyacht-bold" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">delivered in Australia</a>, and I’m very happy about that because the project is beautiful.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/84684/image/large-9572ecb3d15ccd35ff2a7fc573a50926.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/84684">
