Diamonds Are Forever: 110m Stella Del Sud Concept Unveiled
Italian design studio Gabriele Teruzzi Yachts & Design has unveiled the renderings for a bold new 110-metre superyacht concept, Stella Del Sud.
Demonstrating distinctive lines and a sharp hull, this vessel's silhouette takes inspiration from the shape of a diamond; a true symbol of status and elegance. Showcasing a strong personality, her name "Stella Del Sud" also pays homage to the famous Cartier 128 carat diamond, dubbing her as, "Star of the South".
Combined with Teruzzi's initial designs, Andrea Agrusta from NavalHEAD contributed to her technical engineering. A key feature to this design are her exterior shapes that all flow into the centre, to create the illusion of a decorative jewel piece.
She presents a modern and contemporary interior design making every room perfect for a glamorous evening on the water. The design draws inspiration from American penthouses, and includes custom vertical panels in her saloon, that are inspired by the feathers of a peacock. Panels, which were hand-drawn by Teruzzi, are flanked by mirrors and feature light wood inlays and hammered gold detailing.
The main saloon is surrounded by large panoramic windows that flood the room with an abundance of natural light and emphasise the light tones throughout. During the evenings, the magical ‘rain effect’ lighting gracefully falls from the double height ceiling, to illuminate the room like stars. The upper deck of the saloon also presents a dining area that faces towards the large starboard windows.
Guests are able to conveniently reach the main and upper aft decks via her custom spiral staircase. They can also enjoy and indulge in a luxurious piano lounge area towards the bow on the main deck which overlooks the ocean through a side window. She also features a private cinema room located on her bilge deck to take advantage of the dark, atmospheric space.
Stella Del Sud can host up to 18 guests across the span of nine opulent staterooms. Her eight VIP staterooms are located forward on the main deck with two on each side, complete with integrated terrace in the bulwarks.
The owner’s suite occupies the majority of the bridge deck and features his-and-hers bathrooms with Jacuzzis, a spa table wave, salt wall and walk-in-wardrobes in each. The owner’s suite also boasts a private office for those that need to work away from home. The room is adorned with light wood and custom sculptures in bush-hammered gold. However, the key feature of the room is the aquarium by Melik above the bed that is bound to stun anyone who passes by it.
Rest and relaxation are vital themes on board Stella Del Sud. The lower deck has a large full-beam wellness area including a beauty and massage room, a gym, sauna, steam room and a multifunctional room called ‘Aqua Room.’ This space offers guests an American-style bar, large Jacuzzi and comfortable beds perfect to lounge on. The room has been carefully curated with natural materials such as teak, combined with dark blue tones and contrasted by gold details to increase the feeling of wellbeing and enhance the notion of being close to nature.
Offering plenty of space for al fresco living, aft of Stella Del Sud is a 23-metre open beach area inspired by the Royal Palace of Caserta and spans almost 300 square-metres. It has several split levels to incorporate three integrated swimming pools, which create a never-ending, waterfall effect, along with a waterfall feature that emerges from the superstructure.
With the concept currently listed as "reserved for Lürssen" on the design studio's website, we hope to see this ambitious vessel make her way on to the water in the next few years to come.
