Four yachts designed by LUCA DINI Design & Architecture will be on display at the 34th edition of the Monaco Yacht Show, taking place from September 24 to 27, 2025, at the stunning Port Hercule in the Principality of Monaco: Solemates, 55m by Heesen Yachts; Rose, 55m by Tankoa Yachts; Legasea, 50m by ADA Yacht Works; and the 24m Picchiotti Gentleman by The Italian Sea Group.
"I am proud to see four such different yachts, yet equally representative of our design approach, take center stage at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show. Legasea for ADA Yacht Works reflects the synergy between constructive vision and design sensitivity; with Solemates for Heesen, we celebrate power and timeless elegance; the Gentleman's 24m by Picchiotti pays tribute to the great Italian nautical tradition with a modern spirit; Rose for Tankoa expresses a contemporary vision, sophisticated and attentive to detail. These projects speak different languages, but share a common vocabulary made of craftsmanship, a balance between form and function, respect for the client, and passion for the sea. Seeing them together in Monaco is not just a milestone for us, but also a sign of the direction we want to continue pursuing: to innovate without forgetting who we are", said Luca Dini, Founder and CEO of LUCA DINI Design & Architecture.
In detail, Solemates, delivered in May of this year, is the result of a virtuous synergy between Heesen Yachts' technical office, the owner's experienced crew, and LUCA DINI Design & Architecture, which was responsible for the interior design. Among the many standout features of the interiors are a striking staircase adorned with gold flakes and crystals, a spacious 82-square-meter owner's suite, and the vibrant color palette of the furnishings, which conveys a sense of freshness and modernity.
M/Y Rose, for which LUCA DINI Design & Architecture designed the exterior lines, marks a new era in luxury yachting, defined by innovation and sophisticated design. The yacht's sleek, elongated lines define the original hull profile of Tankoa Yachts' new T55 Sportiva range. Measuring 55 meters in length and under 500 GT, Rose blends elegant design with high performance, delivering an immersive onboard experience while ensuring easy handling and maneuverability.
M/Y Legasea, the first 50m yacht by the Turkish shipyard ADA Yacht Works, offered the studio an opportunity to reinterpret elegance in a contemporary key. The interiors, designed by LUCA DINI Design & Architecture, evoke a refined, tactile atmosphere where contrasts in materials and tones shape a sense of sophisticated calm. The attention to detail is paramount: handcrafted elements enrich the environment, while the carefully selected furnishings bring Italian excellence and comfort to every space.
The 24m Picchiotti Gentleman, entirely designed by LUCA DINI Design & Architecture, is the first in a new line inspired by the golden age of post-war yachting, both in layout and materials. Paying tribute to iconic models such as the Picchiotti Giglio and Mistral series, it celebrates the brand's stylistic values and deep-rooted maritime culture. A bold, retro-inspired project, it is aimed at owners who want to stand out while remaining firmly connected to tradition and the concept of elegant seamanship. Among its distinctive features, the main deck includes a side passageway that allows movement from stern to bow, a unique solution that, together with the sophisticated mahogany finishes, helps recreate the ambiance of the most prestigious classic yachts.
With these four yachts, each distinct, yet all fully embodying the studio's philosophy, LUCA DINI Design & Architecture once again demonstrates its ability to anticipate trends and interpret contemporary luxury with originality. This achievement further confirms the international leadership of the Florence-based studio in the field of superyacht design.
