The former Benetti Interior Architect Leonardo Santi has just revealed the interior design concept for Mengi Yay Yachts superyacht Virtus 47m series.

Lights have played a key role in the design, with Santi explaining that "the shape of the light is itself a decoration and helps in defining an environment. Lights are an essential component of my design".
