Solemates by Lürssen Yachts, Espen Øino and Glade Johnson S olemates is a spacious 60-metre yacht with a harmonious, elegant design. The vessel was presented at the last Monaco Yacht Show and has now begun to sail the waters of the Tropics and the Mediterranean. It is one of the many high-quality vessels built recently by Lürssen Yachts, and continues the success of the latest yachts launched by the shipyard in this series, Arkley and Linda Lou. The exterior and interior design Solemates’ exterior design is the work of Espen Øino. The five-deck vessel is characterised by soft, balanced lines throughout the yacht. The “total white” colour of the exterior enhances the shape of the yacht, giving it a decidedly contemporary profile. The vessel’s large but always balanced, proportionate measurements made it possible to create spacious interior areas that can be subdivided into many different sections. The decks and outdoor areas are similarly huge, and the connecting routes between one area or deck and the next have been flawlessly designed. ➢

Glade Johnson, which was commissioned to produce the interior design, devised airy, welcoming spaces enhanced by refined furnishings and decorative features. The designer selected all the materials with care: precious woods, marbles, leather, fabrics, etc. A “squared” design concept was chosen for Solemates, and this makes its mark on the style of the yacht, as the designer explains: “The design concept for the Solemates interior was based on a strong use of pure rectilinear shapes, strong horizontal lines and was balanced by the contrasting use of soft sensuous natural materials with fluid...

Solemates Conceived to offer guests huge open-air spaces, the yacht has numerous external areas such as the aft upper deck, comprising two lounges and an alfresco dining area. When you start to explore Solemates from the main deck, the luxurious yet always welcoming atmosphere is immediately apparent as you enter the large salon with its semi-circular external windows. The salon is flawlessly furnished based on a modern, refined taste that invites the yacht’s 12 guests to enjoy a dream cruise. The squared concept of the yacht is apparent from the first glance. “The striking main foyer stair...

The various settings are based on the prevalent use of pure and precise straight lines that incisively determine the visual structural configuration of the weelhouse and décor. The furniture and decoration, primarily in valuable natural woods such as macassar ebony – whose unusual veining with clear lines creates the effect of the weave of a fabric – enhance the space and offer comfort and wellbeing. The high-quality wooden flooring in the various areas creates elegant continuity solutions between one space and the next: “Handsome wenge plank flooring was used on the main decks and in the...

Solemates The decor is particularly warm and welcoming, imbued with a harmonious and extremely relaxing atmosphere, as serenely intimate and calm as a contemporary urban home. In the night zone, the light leather used around the bed makes the atmosphere more comfortable without weighing it down. The same upholstered panels are found in other places on the yacht, maintaining the theme of the horizontal lines – in the corridors, in some of the cabins and in some of the furniture accents. The upper deck again features the harmonious atmosphere that is present throughout the yacht. The deck...

Entertainment, sport and relaxation dominate on the sun deck. The gym is located in the centre, and can be turned into a disco at night. Outside and forward, the Jacuzzi, the whole sunbathing area and the bar are very inviting. The white sun beds to aft have an especially noteworthy essential design. In the same area, an extendable table is ready for both lunches and dinners under the stars. The crew’s comfort and the functionality of the service areas are also key elements which are always taken into consideration in Lürssen Yachts vessels. There are seven crew cabins on the lower deck, as...

The highly linear style is also prevalent in the clean-cut and markedly geometrical main galley, interpreted in a combination of various woods, stainless steel, and granite.
