Salon Salon FS 10 FS Salon 1/16 INTERIORS FOR THE SUPERYACHT LADY CHRISTINE We were commissioned to design the interiors for a new 68m motor yacht named the Lady Christine which was built by Feadship in 2010. Onboard is a private owner’s deck with dining area, gym and a forward-facing, full-beam master suite with spectacular views while out on deck she offers guests an 18,000-litre contraflow swimming pool on the main deck and a massive sundeck area for hosting larger groups. The interiors presented here for the Lady Christine are a radical departure from other super yacht interiors. They are modern but rooted in the classical system of the orders and proportion, fresh and light-hearted but based on timeless principles of design, taking design forward with style but bringing the elegance and subtlety of previous periods. The build quality achieved by Royal van Lent and the specialists involved is exceptional. The interiors of the Lady Christine have been described as a masterpiece, we think of them as works of art in their own right.
