At Dtales, we understand that true luxury lies in the details—the seamless fusion of artistry, innovation, and unparalleled craftsmanship.
Our latest project aboard the Custom Line 106‘, a yacht celebrated for its pure Italian excellence and sophisticated spaces, exemplifies this philosophy. We focused our expertise on the main living area, transforming it with made to measure elements that resonate with the yacht’s inherent elegance and your discerning taste.
Our intervention centered on the grand sideboard that anchors the main living area. Here, we’ve created a captivating interplay of textures and finishes that speak to both visual appeal and tactile pleasure.
The sideboard doors are adorned with a warm gold straw marquetry herringbone pattern. This decorative element is a testament to the immense patience and expertise of our skilled Italian artisans.
Straw marquetry, with its rich historical background, delivers a surprisingly contemporary feel. The natural sheen and intricate texture of the straw, combined with the complexity of the pattern, create a dynamic surface that shifts with the light, offering an ever-changing visual narrative. Each door is a unique masterpiece, adding an unmistakable touch of elegance and sophistication.
Complementing this, the central niche integrated into the sideboard is coated with bronze liquid metal.
This advanced artisanal process is a perfect synthesis of cutting-edge technology and time-honored craftsmanship. It’s far more than a simple application; it involves meticulous preparation, stabilizing resins, and the precise spraying of metal powder to achieve a unique, antiquing patina.
The result is a gorgeously timeworn, lived-in look that interacts with both natural and artificial light, adding depth, contrast, and soul to the space. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this finish boasts vital practical attributes for yachting, including water and fire resistance, scratch resistance, and an essential lightness.
These two distinct Dtales interventions—the straw marquetry doors and the bronze liquid metal niche—leave an indelible impression, an unmistakable hallmark of exquisite style. They tell a unique story of infinite nuance, reflecting the pinnacle of Italian design and artisanal dedication.
