With Marble On The Open Sea

Have you seen that jewel of Yacht that Lithos Design Primes decorated with tons of marble and other luxuriant things? Then you must know about Rigel, the Sanlorenzo 86 Yacht that now roams freely the seas. Let us see what the guys from luxurytopics.com saw in it.

Amongst the high-range proposals of Italian shipyard Sanlorenzo is the SL86 Yacht. This mega-yacht has also been designed in a version tailored to the US market with the interior design signed by American designer Marty Lowe. Inspired by the tradition of marble from Carrara where the shipyard is located, Lowe used big marble slabs to decorate the interiors and the external lounge area, focusing on the lightness and luminosity of the spaces. Wide windows, an open staircase, light colors and carefully-studied lighting create an ample, welcoming space which ensures guests maximum comfort.

The designer’s keyword is “light” and this is why the Le Pietre Luminose collection by Lithos Design Primes was chosen to decorate the living space with great elegance and style, creating a luminous ‘backstage’ area behind the dining space, which becomes the focal point of the open space.

The Le Pietre Luminose collection

Rigel is one of the eight models of back-lit modular 3-dimensional stone coverings, where light drives the design and the design directs the light into fascinating luminous and ornamental effects.

The collection has been created from the sophisticated combination of design, the processing of surfaces across three dimensions, and thorough research into illumination techniques applied to the translucent properties of marble.

With Le Pietre Luminose, walls spring to life. Light enchants and enhances every facet of the design, goes all over and reveals every difference in the slope, in the thickness and in the cut of the stone, highlighting the multiplicity of the worked surfaces. Light penetrates and passes through the natural element, revealing its most sensual and intimate soul. As a result, the marble is fully revealed, it shows off the harmony of its inner layers, and it displays unexpected colours as it returns a soft and suffused light to its surroundings, which in turn acquire a strong scenic personality of their own.

With a strong impact even without back-lighting, the models produce maximum expression when back light and grazing light are combined. Each module – measuring 60x60cm – comes equipped with a luminaire that contains an independent light source (available either in the fluorescent or the LED version), in order to ensure that normal maintenance is practical and easy. Furthermore, the independent light source included in each module ensures that the back-lighting is uniform, so that the aesthetic result is impeccable.

Rigel Design: Raffaello Galiotto

Vibrations of light, woven lines worked on three dimensions which enhance the textured and colored effect. The expressive force of the material is emphasized in Rigel, a new product configuration, a back-lit modular 3- dimensional stone cladding resulting from the sophisticated combination of design, the working of surfaces across three dimensions, and thorough research into illumination techniques applied to the translucent properties of marble.
