Enrico Lumini, Partner and Head of Design at Hot Lab describe the yacht as following the studio's new philosophy, 'Architecture for Voyagers.' Focusing on clean architectural volumes and a renewed sense of softness in lines, Bilgin 163 exudes a sober yet rich plastic minimalism. The designers aimed to rediscover the luxury of pure craftsmanship, with attention to detail and using precious materials. Lumini envisions the yacht as "modern, rich, yet warm" in feeling.
The Hot Lab team used small quantities of wood and natural leather in the interior living areas to achieve a refined look and a soft sense of balance. Lumini describes Bilgin 163 as a perfect combination of shapes, soft colors, and a great richness of detail. Throughout the guest cabins, natural colors and materials emphasize the yacht's connection to the sea, with smooth transitions in every color and material used on board.
