Award-winning French yacht designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/53" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Philippe Briand Ltd. (Company)">Philippe Briand</a> has unveiled the first renderings of his new 60-metre sailing yacht concept Kaze. Inspired by the Japanese word for wind, Kaze harnesses wind power for her propulsion to create a hybrid sailing yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261397/image/large-f1bd2456822632f67a925c01142b670f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261397">The ketch yacht, Kaze is able to accommodate different sailing programs with three different versions of rigs available, ranging from classic to the highest tech. Her design allows her to combine modern technology with timeless principles, alongside a Panamax rig design for easy access under the Bridge of the Americas on the Panama Canal.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261375/image/large-58f9f56f0a0f0badfab3c6fd6ce13657.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261375">“There are so many good reasons to choose ketch rig over that of a towering sloop,” said Briand. “While we can design and engineer large sloops to cope with the massive rig loads, they still make unwieldy and intimidating boats to sail. Where’s the pleasure, the joy, the accessibility? If you want a yacht to be comfortable for living and sailing, it makes sense to start from a ketch design, for a 499 GT." <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261376/image/large-0f2865d9d3be337dacdbfb1050086406.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261376">Kaze features a bespoke interior that embodies the needs and desires of the owner, by Italy-based design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4308" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="FM Architettura (Company)">FM Architettura</a>. “When I imagined and designed the interiors of Kaze, I wanted to achieve an ideal purity and a &nbsp;connection to nature, without taking away the feeling of being on a sailing boat and nowhere else,” explained Francesca Muzio of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4308" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="FM Architettura (Company)">FM Architettura</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261380/image/large-55d2cdbdc981145d99127be8e2cbb316.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261380">“I wanted the aura of sportiness whilst also creating a comfortable and snug environment. A space where the owner and guests can feel at home and not be afraid to use it. As well as, a space for relaxing and admiring the beautiful views.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261394/image/large-15ad4c480fa17bf800ec37dd7cdb6b35.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261394">The 499 GT sailing yacht has a large focus on luxurious living, with her interior design displaying elements of a motor yacht, with the additional feature of being close to the sea.

The mast is also surrounded by glass and creates a magical view on the sails.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261399/image/large-81464eb048447df6befc2c602cb4af50.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261399"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261379/image/large-0e5896ca86232dc5f837d053d3cac144.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261379">Kaze boasts a 68 square-metre sundeck with a swimming pool aft, and foldable wings to expand her exterior space.

The carbon fibre used to build the masts has been inserted into her bespoke furniture, both indoor and outdoor while her large windows can also be lowered to allow for a natural breeze while onboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261386/image/large-712c0a6f2dbe51de5fdad1bf35d4e699.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261386">Kaze uses the wind as her main propulsion source, allowing guests to cruise in tranquillity with the sound of the ocean against the yacht. The use of wind, even for her batteries, provides a quieter atmosphere, powered entirely by nature and helps to build on the philosophy of a greener future.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261388/image/large-bf164b52b403106637d3c3da6d661e69.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261388">Kaze is already beyond the concept stage, with technical input from a range of key experts including <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2447" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Southern Spars (Company)">Southern Spars</a> on the specifications for the three rig options.

The innovative trimaran concept features a wave-piercing hull with inspiration taken from the original Star Trek USS Enterprise starship.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261497/image/large-a194af772f8d5166bcec31d1aa6cc7fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261497">Enterprise was designed in full by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6867" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="M51 Concepts (Company)">M51 Concepts</a> after designer Anthony Glasson spent time onboard the 84.04-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4342" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Echo Yachts (Company)">Echo</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3575" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="White Rabbit61.4m (201'5&quot;)North West Bay Yachts Pty Ltd2005">White Rabbit</a>.

The gap between these two spaces is further bridged by her forward lounge that opens up onto the outdoor deck area with alfresco dining and a hot tub.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261493/image/large-8d98bb2073ccf57b3c80babf832340d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261493">Enterprise offers accommodation for up to 12 guests in eight suites comprising of a large full-beam owners’ stateroom and seven remaining guest staterooms offering a flexible accommodation layout.Read: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/56543" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Introducing Swell: The 77m superyacht concept with a jellyfish aquarium (2022-12-09 13:45:00 +0100)">Introducing Swell: The 77m superyacht concept with a jellyfish aquarium<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261487/image/large-d608493dded210c74152307cc5ab7c45.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261487"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261495/image/large-49fdde0ad3d13575c880151dd2c496ae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261495"></a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261492/image/large-d3deee90c2bd473185e132822d1d5c76.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261492">Some of the key features onboard Enterprise include her aft courtyard with a full gym and day lounge with a glass partition for a climate-controlled environment and 180 degree views.

This space can be configured to suit the owner’s requirements with the option of a helicopter hanger or tender garage. There is also easy access for toys and tenders with large aft facing doors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261484/image/large-24ed7308be09a50f9cd3f20772492623.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261484">The central hull of Enterprise will be used for guest and crew accommodation while the outer hulls are designed for shop machinery.

Domus Cat uses the skydeck as the prime structure for the crossbeams to allow for an increased area structure.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261291/image/large-2905d1f88a2e6def5b9ba38b1e7925fc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261291">As a result of these changes, Domus Cat has a larger beam than most catamarans and also opens up a huge space for her owners and guests. The increased beam also equates to more interior volume and deck space, with her main deck on one level with a large aft deck and two side balconies.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261292/image/large-d2d76f570e6fcc63febdd6cae8261682.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261292">Her interior is divided into key areas, with a cinema lounge and dining area connected to her two VIP staterooms. An internal wheelhouse is located on the centreline with access to the spacious deck above, while stairs provide access to the accommodations in the hulls.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261293/image/large-17bb65b82e4c66781aaf9526878181c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261293">The portside hull houses her crew, with 44 square-metres of accommodation, storage, and crew services. The starboard side hull is home to additional guest staterooms, services, and technical storage areas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261289/image/large-1850797bae4c532ad9df9f1527ddf287.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261289">The upper deck of Domus Cat features outboard shaped helm station and seating areas, as well as a forward deckhouse with a Jacuzzi and plenty of space for guests to relax. She is also equipped with solar panels and atriums covered with solar-panelled louvres<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261294/image/large-2fb464f6b2935591439d79e3e7b14301.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261294">The lightweight structure of Domus Cat allows for a key focus on performance, while her catamaran design provides more stability at anchor. Domus Cat is designed to sail at very low heel angles and is designed with solar power, hydro regeneration, and fuel cells, which her designers say creates an ‘unlimited range’ with ‘zero emissions.’<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261287/image/large-75b539f1fbb2f879669cb498b86d9fd4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261287">An optimised system of solar power and battery storage, allows Domus Cat to cruise during daylight hours and then transfer over to her battery system at night.

Tommaso Spadolini (Company)">Tommaso Spadolini</a> has unveiled the first renderings for a new 48.5-metre superyacht concept.

Tommaso Spadolini (Company)">Tommaso Spadolini</a>. “We were expressly asked for a semi-vertical bow and other specific choices such as large free areas in her flybridge.

She also has another 7-metre saloon on her upper deck. “Obviously, at this stage we haven't considered any furniture arrangements,” continued <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Arch.

Additional exterior features showcase a larger pool aft for guests to use; this will sit above the deep bathing platform, which dramatically extends when the two bulwarks are folded down, creating twin balconies just above the sea. This has been likened to a private beach resort by the Turkish shipyard and is a notable revelation.&nbsp;Internally, the interior space will feature a unique owner’s suite with a private patio cocooning the owner's exclusive deck, which is highlighted as “the pearl of these yachts, particularly onboard the 42-metre and 50-metre” , says <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4304" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Vallebona (Company)">Luca Vallebona.</a> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260643/image/large-7e2f3e63d9eb7c2cf86c86d2cb0a183d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260643">This private space expanding the owner’s suite will be adorned with soothing plants and receives natural light from above and from the side.

The balustrades have been designed to be transparent to cultivate an all-encompassing connection with the outdoor landscape. The large exterior decks culminate in the aft deck beach, with an embedded infinity pool comprised of descending steps that guide to the water's edge. The beam-wide swim platform offers access to the water and acts as a mooring spot for private limo tenders and water toys. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259940/image/large-bddcaac50382832729818f48af82ae2f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259940"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259942/image/large-d93fe35852ec428d8c633331f87c10a4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259942">

With the vessel’s initial concept coming from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/30" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="De Voogt Naval Architects (Company)">Studio de Voogt</a>, Slice is designed to “turn the inside out and the outside in” according to the studio’s Lead Designer, Chris Bottoms, and Head of Design Tanno Weeda.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259380/image/large-1a74f27c3ec677b8f948c63ac98d7ff9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259380"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243243/image/large-9f557eb974a11319f679dcf467a4135a.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243243"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259382/image/large-fb549f17f6dad19aa3bf5b5c45d006a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259382"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> requested Dutch designer Marco van Ham avoid teak entirely. Instead, Van Ham and his team showcased a variety of materials, such as backlit marbles and onyx, liquid metals, silver lead, shagreen, straw marquetry, and pyrite, with juxtapositions of shiny and matte surfaces. Her interior oozes serenity, adorned with a neutral palette and decorated with natural fabrics and low-level furniture throughout. Her long hallways and stacked living spaces further punctuate the intentional nature to interconnect the expansive views intentionally employed to avoid obscuring views. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243242/image/large-bc0539177a2463c43b79c6d0b0adeb0d.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243242"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259383/image/large-e0ab209d408b2f04b346e24fac17da65.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259383"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259384/image/large-a5e513b2c72eab0b5289b6c75503d330.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259384">Slice is engineered with an expansive glass strip running entirely from bow to stern, allowing for natural light to overflow across multiple decks. At the bottom of the glass strip is the heart of the yacht, which lies the monumental 70-square-metre atrium at the main deck level. The cascading circular balconies open a wide range of opportunities for lighting features and immersive art installations.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259386/image/large-49b7af3c120bac27a4902f9e8b628b37.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259386"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259387/image/large-04eb0c64f71a571ae15d6e8ff3d6276e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259387">Measuring at 85 metres with an impressive beam of 14 metres, Slice can accommodate up to 20 guests, alongside a crew of up to 24, to ensure the guests have a comfortable cruise. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259389/image/large-bc82a3e4ec25764c3ef43c37f6c111b4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259389"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259392/image/large-b37d80cf02542387a67623f58ca3eb62.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259392"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259394/image/large-893bba9a28e1c4b5a1eb26e4c85b2896.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259394">Outside, Slice boasts a 10-metre multi-level pool on the aft deck. However, this isn’t just a regular pool - this was carefully designed using data science to place hidden dampers to reduce “slosh” for guests. Additionally, the design team developed their own specific ultra-high modulus material, inspired by Formula 1’s research into high tensile carbon fibre.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243249/image/large-3f7fd1a9c6edebe884051ba5b8976a6c.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243249"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259390/image/large-2e9c9973a016228f2c8f3e26b9de0e15.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259390"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> set about guaranteeing maximum privacy for guests, creating an open and private aft pool and sundecks with sea views that are out of sight, so passers-by and deliverymen cannot peek inside while moored in port. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> accomplished this by implementing a fully engineered passerelle and watertight forward entrance so it can be moored bow-in. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259388/image/large-e35f3568bbc18ece1289004a9320b9ae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259388"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243244/image/large-5f452298e35880eb47eb37002dd1e4b3.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243244">In terms of performance, Slice can reach a top speed of 16 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 11 knots. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> is keen to take a more sustainable route, leaving the potential owners the option for Slice’s propulsion to be powered by four dual-fuel generators, which have been modified to run on both methanol and non-fossil diesel (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil - HVO), with the generated power delivered to two Azimuthing pods. In addition, one of the generators could also be replaced with methanol fuel cells, allowing for silent cruising.

Mulder announces sale of two in-build Mulder ThirtySix motor yachts

Mulder Shipyard has announced the sale of two in-build Mulder ThirtySix motor yachts last year.

Francois Zuretti is one of the elder statesmen of yacht design. In a rare interview opportunity, SuperYacht Times was invited to visit his home and studio in the south of France.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/251947/image/large-a36ab6a395be1d60a171671d61215df0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/251947">Modest, unassuming and a little shy, Francois Zuretti may be one the most prolific and distinguished names in the world of superyacht design, but he likes to keep a low profile. In fact, our recent video profile of the French interior designer was the first of its kind, period. Not that he is in need of the publicity, having worked with all the top shipyards on some of the largest superyachts afloat.Zuretti began his design career in the mid-‘70s with&nbsp;Triad Condas, a Paris-based company specialising in the interior design of Middle Eastern palaces, which led to him working for the King of Morocco. He set up his own studio in 1987, first in Geneva before moving to Nice to be closer to his yachting clients on the French Riviera. Interestingly, he chose not to relocate to Monaco, not least because he wanted his company to retain its distinctly French identity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/207091/image/large-d9a7f07880c0f54ee7b05372ceeb1db7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/207091"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/13573/image/large-0c51f21446e9cbaee949065f50e04469.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/13573">Zuretti’s first yacht interior was for Eco (now <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/901" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zeus74.5m (244'5&quot;)Blohm & Voss GmbH1991">Zeus</a>), the iconic 75-metre motor yacht designed by Martin Francis and delivered by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Blohm & Voss GmbH (Company)">Blohm + Voss</a> in 1991.

Zuretti’s personal tastes could not be more different and are best reflected in his own home, which he designed himself. Decidedly modernist and rational, the stunning building is set into the hills between Cap-d'Ail and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/174091/image/large-ad1b7760b6be3a55da0ed04ceb3dfb13.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/174091">“Tastes have changed over the past 20 years, but the market has changed more,” says Zuretti from a sitting room with stunning views of the coast through floor-to-ceiling windows. “New clients have brought new developments. Before my clients had a stronger relationship with the sea, the boats were smaller and people were closer to the water. Life aboard a 45-metre yacht is centred around the sea, but on a 150-metre superyacht you need other activities like spas and cinemas. We’re working on a project at the moment that has a full-size tennis court, for example. I’m not sure it’s all good for the yachting business, but it has certainly helped to develop new materials and concepts.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/223388/image/large-074e023730e2605abe0ba60d1240f0b7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/223388">Zuretti started out with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> but quickly moved on to work with the leading north European shipyards, including <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lurssen</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a>.

A civil architect and designer, but also a naval architect and passionate sailor, it is Sebastien’s job to manage a team that has up to a dozen superyacht and residential projects on the go at any one time.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261469/image/large-f07ee8303e98a7c24f4cbff8ad5e5c31.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261469">“To offer the best quality you need the best team,” says Sebastien. “We have very talented designers, architects and project managers. We create all our own renderings in-house, and we have the best people for that as well. Managing all these people and bringing them together to realise projects for our clients is challenging, but a talent we need to have as a company is to find the right people and build a good team.”The residential and yacht design teams worked in separate offices, but a few years ago it was decided to bring them together to encourage the exchange of skills and ideas (Zuretti explains, only half-jokingly, that the move also avoided petty in-house rivalries as the yacht designers were prone to think of themselves as a cut above their residential design colleagues). Since the beginning, however, the company has remained true to its name and avoided the temptation to expand into designing yacht exteriors. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261468/image/large-0a0c6af22bd2981b49240226df114d60.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261468">“The temptation is always there, of course,” says Sebastien, “but we are most successful when we work with the best exterior designers. We try to be the best for the interiors, so the combination means we can create the best project for our clients.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261467/image/large-9cc7a2078af026e6b7d4c7378fbbf676.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261467">A custom interior is the result of an owner’s personal taste and the designer’s creative vision, but whatever a client’s preferred style, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/67" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuretti Interior Design (Company)">Zuretti Interior Design</a>aims to bring to each project what Sebastien calls ‘veracity’, or a thorough understanding of the chosen style.“We’ve worked on very classic and very contemporary, even minimalist, interior designs,” he says. “In each case, you have to approach the project firstly with passion, but also with knowledge. So we thoroughly study a particular style to capture its reality. Of course, it may have to be adapted to suit the spaces and dimensions, but we’re always looking for veracity – this is very important.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261465/image/large-92fbebb785ce71627038cd6797c9d0b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261465">One of Zuretti’s sons, Matthieu, works in the company as procurement director &amp; quality manager. His job was made especially difficult when Covid precautions made it more difficult to meet in person with suppliers, and the challenges continue post-pandemic at a time when supply chains are so unpredictable.“Two thirds of our meetings need to be face-to-face, because you have to see the materials and see how something works.,” he explains. “Pictures or videos can never give you the same feeling you get by opening the door of a cabinet, when you can feel if it works smoothly or there is something rattling inside. You need to be on site to control the quality.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261466/image/large-92717969b1d93f562038b141e8b30e38.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261466">After more than 30 years in the business and now aged 70, Zuretti is looking to take a step back and prepare Matthieu and Sebastien to take over the running of the business – by no means a straightforward task for someone addicted to design that finds it hard to delegate. A new office in Dubai has been tasked with developing the Middle Eastern market and the firm is growing its superyacht clientele in the Americas. Having designed so many custom furniture pieces over the years, the studio is also pondering its own branded line of high-end furniture. &nbsp;“I have so many stamps in my passport from around the world, but each of those represent a day or two spent with a client,” he says. “I was always too busy to explore the countries I’ve been to, so now I’d like to enjoy life a little more. I think I still have a lot to offer my team, but I have to learn to leave them alone to create the Zuretti of tomorrow. I’m already surprised sometimes at what a great job they do without me!”This article was originally published in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/superyacht-times-issue-43-newspaper-launched" target="_blank">Issue 43 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>.
