The pinnacle of luxury that's superyachts mean to many of us. They represent not only the ultimate in glamour and privacy, but also offer unbridled freedom. For the small proportion of billionaires who can afford them, choosing the right vessel is only the first step; it's followed by the arduous task of crafting a sanctuary at sea. Yachts are extremely personal spaces, and designing their interior requires incredible precision and detail-much more than what is expected in a home on land.
"Liaigre is known for delivering a perfect layout: harmonious in terms of flow, proportion and balance," says Guillaume Rolland, principal and head of yacht design at Studio Liaigre. "Much of our work is spent building this backbone, which you can't see in pictures. For us, it is all about making the layout work, imagining every single gesture of daily life and then translating that into the design."
Having worked at Liaigre for over two decades, Rolland knows the brand's ethos inside and out. A chance encounter with founder Christian Liaigre's work in a magazine inspired him to apply for a job, and he began his journey with the French brand in 2002. He eventually rose to studio manager, overseeing the totality of the design studio's output; his current role as the head of yacht design represents the expansion of the brand as well as his own repertoire.
Studio Liaigre's foray into crafting yacht interiors happened naturally, with many of its high-net-worth clientele wanting to have their spaces whether it's a sprawling country villa or their private jets and yachts-benefit from the French brand's minimalist approach.
