The Importance of Minimalist Design in Yachting

“Simplicity carried to an extreme becomes elegance.”

—UNKNOWN

Revive, Living Room, Before & After

In its most stripped-down definition, minimalism is about getting rid of any excessive and unnecessary components and features in a room, bringing in only the most essential pieces, but in reality, it is so much more than that. Simplicity in design is anything but simple. Without excess to distract from the architecture, materials and form of all the pieces in a space, every detail must be divine. Clean, modern lines, concise color palettes, chic silhouettes and tight editing of all accessories in the space are trademarks and requirements of minimalist design. The theory is that when one can’t remove anything else from the design to improve it further, perfection has been found.
