Exterior design by Zuccon International Project

The Sanlorenzo SD96’s exterior was designed by Bernado Zuccon from Zuccon International Project. The new 28 meter yacht’s is the entry level model in the SD line of semi displacement yachts by Sanlorenzo. Zuccon International Project states, that the SD96 takes inspiration from the transatlantic liners of the 1930’s, making the concept of elegance it’s own. Bernardo Zuccon states in regards to the SD96 “There are places that change and adapt to differing daily needs; it is as if the boat, closed and airtight is in readiness to face the sea, once moored, can be opened up to allow the owner to optimize the quality of life on board.”

“I chose Patricia because I wanted to add a more feminine touch to the interiors in Sanlorenzo yachts”

Sanlorenzo Chairman, Massimo Perotti

Interior design by Patricia Urquiola

Patricia Urquiola is a Spanish born architect and product designer who lives and works from her studio in Milan, Italy which she opened in 2001. Among the many design awards Patricia has achieved she has been awarded the Gold Medal Of Fine Arts by the Spanish Government and the “Order of Isabella the Catholic” by His Majesty The King of Spain Juan Carlos I.

While Patricia has been involved in many design projects (including the re-design of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Barcelona and the six-story design of Panerai’s watch boutique in Hong Kong), the Sanlorenzo SD96 was her first foray into yacht design!

Sanlorenzo Chairman, Massimo Perotti, stated “I chose Patricia because I wanted to add a more feminine touch to the interiors in Sanlorenzo yachts, something which until now had been foreign to the nautical world. Today she is the most sought-after woman in global design thanks to her ability to combine beauty and comfort. All done with a touch of irony and poetic sensitivity, with love for all that is ‘glocal’ and a great respect for the hard work of the artisans”.

“Our starting point for this collaboration with Sanlorenzo was doubtlessly the sea, a great source of inspiration for the whole development of the concept and therefore the interior of the yacht. The materials, shapes and colors evoke the marine world, creating a flowing and elegant space full of natural colors.” states Patricia Urquiola
