Hot Lab: Step Inside the Fifty-Five Motor Yacht

I Can’t Drive Fifty-Five

Hot Lab is heating up. The award-winning, Milan-based design studio recently completed a stunning custom motor yacht, Fifty-Five. This 41-meter yacht was built at the Turkish shipyard Yıldız Gemi, with exterior design and naval architecture by Ginton Naval Architects and Liman.

Hot Lab knows how to turn a small idea into a masterpiece. The two partners, Enrico Lumini and Antonio Romano, together with the Hot Lab team, were appointed to manage the layout, interior design/decor, and exterior decorations. The Milan-based studio worked with intentional art, a modern classic design, and a family-oriented layout to complete an extraordinary outcome for Fifty-Five.

The experienced owner upgraded to this new 41-meter yacht with a goal to host his big family in comfort and style. The layout of the boat was thoughtfully designed to accommodate sons, daughters, and grandkids. Fifty-Five can host 12 guests in six staterooms, including one master cabin on the main deck, and two VIP cabins, one VIP transversal cabin, and one twin cabin on the lower deck. The owners were thinking of family when building this yacht, so there are 12 berths and three Pullman beds for kids to sleep in the same room as their parents.

Comfortable and thoughtfully decorated socializing areas include the main salon and dining area on the main deck with furniture by Minotti; a supplementary lounge and dining area on the upper deck is decorated with furniture by Royal Botania. All bedding and decorative pillows throughout the interior and exterior are by Missoni Home.

Stand-out features onboard Fifty-Five include a gym with strength and cardio equipment by Technogym, a pool on the upper deck aft, and a Jacuzzi forward of the wheelhouse surrounded by sunbeds and a bar area. Hot Lab worked with Dahlgren Duck for all decorative objects onboard Fifty-Five, including vases, frames, ornaments, books, centerpieces, and more.
