CQS directors Simone Ciarmoli and Miguel Queda introduced their Milan design studio, a 106-metre refit project and three project partners – Ferreira de Sá, MVS & Associates and Tabu – during the Monaco Yacht Show.
Building in Greece and due for launch in 2014, the 106-metre superyacht Poseidonos is a major refit project for which CQS is completely responsible for the interior design, which will have a theme of retro modern as requested by the client. Responsibility also includes the selection and assignment of contractors.
23 Guest cabins, 19 crew cabins, three dining rooms, one teppanyaki dining, theatre, business centre plus a gymnasium, spa, swimming pool and diving centre are laid out over six decks.
CQS brings a lighter and more contemporary interpretation of the owner’s initial ideas by creating a boiserie, free from unnecessary features. Very sleek rectangular framings are outlined by brushed metal inserts. Tay is the wood selected to blend boiseries and floorings. In the corridors, the boiserie becomes fabric panelling with leather framings.
Exquisite marbles with geometrical designs feature in the lobby floors. Within this setting bespoke furniture is inspired by a retro-revised concept.
Materials are leather, galuchat, eel, lacquer, murano crystal, onyx, calacatta oro, portoro, sodalite and verde venezia marbles. Finest Loro Piana fabrics and carpets provide maximum comfort and a luxurious welcoming feeling throughout the interiors of the vessel.
