Baglietto Unveils New Superyacht Concept
Baglietto 53 meter concept What do you get when an Italian shipyard with over 165 years of shipbuilding heritage, a highly experienced Italian yacht designer, and an award-winning, NYC-based design studio that's known for creating distinctive residences, resorts, retail and workspaces throughout the world, announce a new creative partnership? The answer: The Vesta 56 superyacht concept the Baglietto shipyard just unveiled that features elegant exteriors designed by Enrico Gobbi Team for Design and a contemporary interior design by Meyer Davis. For me, one of the cool things about this concept is the way the yachting establishment—Baglietto and the Enrico Gobbi Team for Design—have embraced the fresh ideas that Meyer Davis (relative newcomers to the yachting space that are fresh off their successful debut yacht interior design Seawolf X) brings to the project. Here is the Meyer Davis-designed interior of the Vesta 56 superyacht Baglietto just unveiled 'Vesta 56 is the expression of our philosophy says Fabio Ermetto, CCO of Baglietto. 'With Enrico Gobbiʼs elegant exterior lines and the fresh, sophisticated vision of Meyer Davis, we are creating something extraordinary—an experience that speaks to beauty, innovation, and balance. We're proud to collaborate with design firms that share our passion for timeless yet contemporary style.ˮ The yacht's slender vibe is thanks to design details like ultra-thin aft deck overhangs and long runs of uninterrupted windows that are inspired by aeronautical design. In fact, according to early reports, the intent was to create a yacht defined by 'lines in movement', a sense of continuous flow and energy, even when the yacht is at anchor. Upper deck of the Vesta 56 concept by Baglietto 'The 56 meter Baglietto is characterized by a captivating design, generous spaces, and a sleek and dynamic profile,"says Enrico Gobbi. "The project brief requested for large and comfortable exterior and interior areas, without compromising the aesthetics of the yacht. For this reason, dynamic and stretched lines were chosen to reach the perfect balance between generous volumes and an elegant streamlined profile.' The interplay between exterior and interior is obviously at the center of the design philosophy. The windows are particularly tall to provide panoramic views, while sharp, sculpted elements mix with soft curves to create a distinctive exterior.

'We were inspired by the name Vesta 56 for its rich symbolism," says Gray Davis, Co-Founder of Meyer Davis. "The quiet strength of home. The comfort of sanctuary. And the enduring presence of spaces designed not just for living, but for feeling truly at home. Each material, curve, and proportion is imbued with intention to reflect that spirit. The interiors have a quiet strength that marks each space with meaning and memory.' The main deck onboard the Vesta 56 Signature spaces such as the main deck salon, dining room, and upper lounge are designed to nurture connection and comfort. Retractable glass walls are designed to blur the threshold between inside and outside. While architectural lighting and curved built-in furniture capture the changing light that is inherent onboard yachts of this size. The stylish aft deck area of the Vesta 56 concept yacht 'Embracing organic form, personal layers, and lived-in elegance, we designed the yacht to age gracefully, accumulating stories as it travels' says Will Meyer, Co-Founder of Meyer Davis. Amen to that. Watch this space.

Designed by Meyer Davis, this reimagined luxury residential-style suite features a dedicated in-room wellness experience, replete with an infrared sauna, cold plunge, and more WAILEA, Hawaii, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaii's award-winning Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea is elevating its legacy of luxury in 2025 with the stunning design evolution and debut of its premier three-bedroom luxury Maile Presidential Suite. The oceanfront Resort, celebrated for its iconic glamour, palatial elegance, and the genuine spirit of aloha, enlisted renowned design studio Meyer Davis for the reimagination. The transformation unveils a refined 4,000-square-foot private residence, seamlessly blending elevated luxury with a serene wellness sanctuary, redefining five-star sophistication in the heart of Hawaii. "The reimagined Maile Suite represents our commitment to providing the ultimate luxury experience that today's discerning travelers seek," says Ben Shank, General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Maui. "This transformative project marries Maui's natural splendor with thoughtful design and wellness innovations that allow our guests to enjoy the perfect balance of residential comfort and island luxury. We're proud to set a new standard for the presidential suite experience that honors both our legacy of excellence and our vision for the future." Situated on the Resort's top floor with spectacular 180-degree wraparound views that stretch across the Pacific and to neighboring islands, the redesign thoughtfully reworked the existing footprint to maximize comfort and functionality while drawing upon the natural surroundings. The suite's spacious lanai extends living space outdoors, providing an ideal setting for watching Maui's legendary sunsets and overlooking the Resort's stunning grounds. Leaning into the concept of fluidity between land and sea, light and shadow, indoors and out, the introduction of curved lines, layered materials, and an effortless sense of movement anchor the suite with a newly expanded central kitchen and entertaining bar, offering a fresh perspective on modern luxury in Hawaii. At the suite's core is a dedicated wellness sanctuary in the primary bedroom. The spa-inspired en-suite features a digitally controlled luxury shower, a deep soaking tub, an infrared sauna, and a cold plunge, delivering indulgence and restoration in equal measure. "The Maile Suite is intentionally crafted to be an experience that feels deeply influenced by its location yet undeniably Four Seasons Resort Maui. By reshaping the suite's layout and integrating wellness-focused elements, we've created a retreat where every detail reflects Maui's pristine beauty in a way that feels both intentional and effortless," says Will Meyer, Co-Founder of Meyer Davis. The secondary king and queen bedrooms have also been elevated with refined finishes, upgraded baths, and architectural details that distinguish them from the resort's standard guest rooms. The suite's color palette takes cues from golden hour, layering saturated greens, earthy umber, and deep aubergine tones to create an inviting atmosphere. Thoughtfully selected materials include reclaimed wood flooring that carries the markings of its past, woven textiles and natural fibers that add softness, and handcrafted details that bring a distinct, personal touch throughout the space. The furnishings and lighting, sourced from Palecek, Lostine, Made Goods, Bover, and Vincent Shepard, reinforce the connection to the island's harmonious elements, while styling accessories sourced from Cera Cera, and special pieces from local Hawaiian shops reinforce a true sense of place. The art program, curated by Saatchi Fine Art, features local Hawaiian artists whose works add layers of meaning and depth. Guests of the Maile Suite enjoy exclusive access to a dedicated Guest Experience Management team who personalizes every aspect of their stay. The suite also includes premium amenities such as airport transfers, daily breakfast, customized welcome experiences, and exclusive resort privileges—creating a bespoke journey from arrival to departure.
