Handblown glassware from Marcello Galgani and the finest linen from Michel & Vittoria typify what was on offer; but there was much more - exquisite “paintings” in tiny mosaic, interior fittings in antique bronze, ornate lamps, luxury leather settees, inlaid tables - everything to fit out the most luxurious superyacht.

On such yachts, everything must be beautiful, but that is not the only need; strength is equally essential.

That combination is apparent in the strengthening curves of highly polished deck fitting like these from MMGI (right) and Metalmeccanica, but is perhaps most obvious in Stonelite’s products.

Here the finest marbles are bonded to composite supports, to create light weight items of great strength.
