The most recent superyacht concept from Centrostiledesign is on fire.
Appropriately named Flame, the 230-foot-tall structure has sleek, angular lines and a pointed, tapered bow reminiscent of an arrowhead. In addition, the ship is outfitted with solar panels designed to resemble a flame. The exterior is undoubtedly eye-catching, but there is more to the design than aesthetics. For example, the solar panels will be able to generate clean, eco-friendly energy to power the yacht’s hotel capacity.
“In addition to providing a unique play of light and catching the eye of the most observant, the panels will absorb the energy required to keep the boat ‘clean,’ powering the utilities onboard and proving useful during some manoeuvring and navigation stretches,” the Italian studio said in a statement.
The interior of Flame is as spotless and modern as her exterior. The expansive, multi-level, open-plan living accommodations are designed to bring the outdoors inside. Along each side, expansive windows provide unobstructed views and abundant natural light. The multifunctional aft veranda can be used for a variety of outdoor activities, including outdoor parties and sunbathing. Additionally, there appears to be a pool in the centre for those who wish to get their tresses wet. The opposing end of the foredeck is equipped with a helipad to facilitate entry and exit.
“From the very beginning, Flame was conceived with the intention of rejecting simple compromises between space and form,” the studio explains. “She permits clean and decisive lines to flow freely from the bow to the stern volume, where this yacht’s living quarters are concentrated,”
Centrostiledesign’s superyacht concepts frequently stretch the envelope. The Italian studio, which is helmed by noted yacht designer Davide Cipriani, has previously delivered a number of disruptive designs, such as a futuristic electric foiling yacht with the soul of a Formula 1 racing car and the agility of a jet.
