Art & Design On the Waves The Lure of the Sea Zuccon International Project’s work goes beyond yacht design, but, as the creative force behind the firm explains, the ocean is at the heart of everything it does. By Cornelia Marioglou Sanlorenzo SD96 is one of the asymmetric designs that Zuccon International Project has produced for the Ameglia-based shipyard A passion for the sea is in the blood of Bernardo and Martina Zuccon, the brother-and-sister team now in charge of the family architecture and industrial design studio Zuccon International Project. Bernardo, in particular, has fond early memories of life on the ocean waves. “It was love at first sight,” he says of his formative experiences onboard his grandfather’s five- or six-metre boat. And such modest beginnings have been a constant influence on his work. “If you want to enjoy the sea onboard, you don’t need to be rich, you don’t need to be special, you can love the sea even if you are onboard a fivemetre boat,” he says. “Our approach to the yacht industry is a little bit different from the others,” Bernardo continues. “I even say I hate to speak about luxury when I speak about the designs. We are not talking about luxury, we are talking about passion – it is a very important point.” › PHOTO THOMAS PAGANI 44 CENTURION-MAGAZINE.COM
