Baglietto announces 56m yacht concept in collaboration with New York studio

Italian yard Baglietto has announced a new interior concept in collaboration with New York architect Meyer Davis. 

The design – named Vesta56, after the Roman goddess of hearth and home – is based on a pre-existing 56-metre platform by Italian designer Enrico Gobbi. A slender, aerial build is achieved through ultra-thin aft deck overhangs that "recall the wings of a jet", emphasised by uninterrupted glazing along the superyacht's length. 

The concept brings together all the main features typically found on larger vessels, with the two most iconic being the large open foredeck (dedicated exclusively to the owner) and the infinity pool integrated into the aft platform.

Gray Davis, co-founder of Meyer Davis, explained that the interiors were partly inspired by the concept's name. "It has rich symbolism – the quiet strength of home, the comfort of sanctuary and the enduring presence of spaces designed not just for living, but for feeling truly at home," he explained. "Each material, curve, and proportion is imbued with intention to reflect that spirit."

As such, living spaces are characterised by soft geometry and rich textures – including travertine, raffia, cognac leather and dark anthracite finishes. Retractable glass walls encourage connection to the outdoors, as do the "particularly tall" windows in the owner's cabin and main saloon. Crucially, the concept is said to "resist the futurism" common in many yacht designs.

"Embracing organic form, personal layers, and lived-in elegance, we designed the yacht to age gracefully, accumulating stories as it travels," added Will Meyer, co-founder of Meyer Davis. "It's a superyacht not just to behold, but to come home to."

According to BOATPro, Baglietto has an impressive 17 superyachts projects on order or under construction, the largest of which measures 60.6 metres. 

The Italian yard recently celebrated the launch of its seventh T52 model, equipped with "future-facing technology".
