On the evening of February 11th, the 72-meter "Admiral" mega yacht by Italian Sea Group and Giorgio Armani was finally unveiled at an exclusive private event held at the Italian Sea Group headquarters in Marina di Carrara, Italy. The project, which was launched in 2020 by designer Giorgio Armani and his team in collaboration with the Admiral Style Center, combines the DNA of both brands to create a one-of-a-kind avant-garde mega yacht, truly representing the most exquisite meeting of nautical and fashionable elements.
This yacht is the first of two designed entirely by Giorgio Armani, and its beautiful, instantly recognizable Armani style is evident in both its exterior shape and interior. "Timeless minimalism," which has always been part of the designer's creative philosophy, elegantly redefines the concept of a high-end mega yacht, down to the smallest detail, based on the principles of simplicity and refinement.
The exterior, with its strong architectural influences, is a captivating design that meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail. Large, sharp, geometric volumes are exquisitely balanced with curvaceous, soft forms, creating a majestic yet dynamic ensemble.The effect of the large, full-length glass openings within the room allows natural light to blend seamlessly into the lighting and surroundings, and the amount of light can be adjusted simply by skillfully adjusting the position of the sliding panels.
The Armani/Casa interiors amplify Giorgio Armani's aesthetic philosophy, offering understated, sophisticated luxury and a subdued palette. The bold yet relaxed interior décor combines a variety of elements to create a harmonious and unique space. Minimalism is contrasted with exquisite, high-quality materials, exquisite handcrafted finishes, and a blend of soft and vibrant colours.
Giovanni Costantino, Founder and CEO of Italian Sea Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome Sea Group to the Italian Sea Group.
Meanwhile, Giorgio Armani, Chairman and CEO of the Armani Group, said:
The yacht is scheduled for delivery in early 2024.
