Luca Dini Design & Architecture

Luca Dini Design & Architecture stands as a vanguard in the realm of superyacht design and architecture. Founded by Luca Dini, one of the world’s most renowned designers in the yachting industry, the studio began its journey in the culturally rich city of Florence in 1987. Over nine transformative years, Luca Dini honed his skills and ascended to a key designer role in a studio before launching his own eponymous brand. Guided by the pillars of innovative thinking, long-term vision, and knowledge sharing, Luca Dini Design has created a sanctuary where both owners’ and clients’ dreams are converted into tangible designs and architectures, fulfilling their vision in the most elegant manner possible.

The studio’s style is both versatile and meticulous, evolving over the years to encompass a broad spectrum of services. Initially focusing solely on the interior design of superyachts, the firm later expanded to include exterior design and naval architecture. Each department was nurtured one at a time, accumulating knowledge and fine-tuning the craft, which is further enhanced by long-term partnerships with manufacturers specializing in furniture, fittings, materials, and equipment. The designs often reflect a blend of contemporary elegance and classical influences, influenced in part by the richness of Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance. The aesthetic experience is further heightened by the use of luxurious materials like onyx, marble, and crystal, presenting a harmonious interplay of contrasting surfaces and textures that define the essence of Luca Dini’s style.

Over the years, Luca Dini Design & Architecture has been responsible for an array of landmark projects that serve as testaments to the studio’s design prowess. Their portfolio currently showcases an astounding 85 superyachts that grace waters globally, each one a symbol of style and functionality. Among the studio’s most notable projects is the 60-metre superyacht Sarastar, the flagship of Mondomarine. Luca Dini himself designed both the interior and the exterior of this remarkable vessel, characterized by its dark grey streamlined hull and opulent interior spaces. The firm has collaborated with major shipyards like Benetti, Admiral, Mondomarine, Tecnomar, Cantieri Navali Lavagna, and CBI Navi, solidifying its place as a top-tier design studio. The firm’s expansive impact is not confined to the yachting world alone, as they have also ventured into the domain of private aviation and the design of unique pieces for exclusive indoor and outdoor spaces. Through a profound understanding of discerning owners’ desires, Luca Dini Design continues to transform vessels into not just means of travel but artworks of style and functionality.
