Life on board ‘A’ is exceptional and there is no better place than on the main deck. Here Starck describes his vision of living in this space: “The main lounge is very open, very wide and bright, luminous. Volumes are very pure and clean. The spirit is like a huge artist’s loft in a castle, decorated in a very luxurious way.
The main materials are mahogany, natural leather, fur, silk, bevelled mirrors, engraved mirrors, Baccarat chandeliers mixed
with special custom Murano chandeliers made by artists. A big place is given to a library and fireplaces. Very long tables, custom-made by Baccarat, positioned diagonally in the room give the opportunity to, depending on time of the day, have a gorgeous breakfast, lunch alone or with lots of friends... or host a lavish buffet. The table can also become a fantastic cocktail table and can serve for a romantic dinner or, again, a fantastic party. The space is like an art collector’s studio, with lamps, armchairs, sofas, custom-made and designed by me or by different world famous artists mixed with antiques from different periods. The magic of
the decoration comes from the very eclectic collection of furniture and art coming from all ages, from everywhere in the world and gives a very fascinating mix... everywhere you look you can find a fertile surprise at the highest cultural level. The space by itself becomes a piece of art while still very human and very comfortable with a sort of je ne sais quoi and, perhaps French touch, which makes everything light and naturally elegant.”
