This elegant catamaran passed before my eyes which clearly reflects the influence of that great genius Sergio Pininfarina. A vessel designed for leisure in the utmost luxury, while also providing discreet spaces to stay apart.
This blog is published in 10 different languages, but I know that whatever language you read it in, Pininfarina will be a name you have heard before. Italian design house Pininfarina is known for pushing the limits of creativity and innovation in a variety of fields, chief among them automotive. The dream does not live on cars alone, however, and therefore the Turin company has created its fair share of yacht design.
Today the automotive designer Samuel Errico Piccarini and the design studio C-Yacht have joined forces to offer a Pininfarina branded yacht to influential and demanding customers. In this specific case, the client is 45-year-old Ryu Cardoso, founder of a textile company in Japan. The objective, as mentioned, was very clear: to design a boat that would satisfy the needs of the worldly world and also of solitary yoga of the client magnate.

The result of the creative efforts is Chapter, a Pininfarina catamaran inspired by the SEVENTY 7 catamaran and the Sunreef 80 leisure sailing yacht. Chapter takes the best of both these incredible vessels to amaze with its radical and futuristic design. Long story short: the boat is transparent on the sides and bow. From up there you can see the sea as if you were literally gliding on the water.
In panavision. On the deck of the multihull you can sunbathe, have a barbecue, or relax in the Jacuzzi.
The interior is a grandiose and bright open space. The light comes from every direction, and the sensation is always that of dominating the space. I'm not a sea dog, but when I see this or other crazy boats (I've talked about them several times) I would really like to live forever at sea.
Pininfarina Chapter is an example of how an idea and a clean design can "attack" any object, mobile or immovable, and clearly convey a philosophy.
