From ocean liner to spaceship

SPACE AND PERSPECTIVE

LIVA

THE ILLUSION
OF SIMPLICITY

Liva conveys an image of perfect harmony born from contrasts – it combines darkness with light, bold curves with soft lines, and classic design principles with modern innovation. The elegance of its appearance creates the illusion of simplicity, where numerous refined technical details vanish from view in favor of the clarity of its lines.

Liva is a celebration of harmony and contrasts: darkness meets light, bold curves meet soft lines, and classical design meets modern innovation. Its elegance creates an illusion of simplicity, with refined technical details receding into the background to prioritize clean, seamless lines. Designer Joseph Dirand merges the aesthetics of Art Deco ocean liners with classic modernism, complemented by a futuristic reinterpretation. The balance of strong lines and concentric circles gives the yacht its timeless character. At the heart of the design is a connection to nature. This is

achieved through innovative features such as the crow’s nest, the expansive beach club, and the Neptune Lounge with its large underwater window. These elements allow guests to experience their surroundings up close and become one with them. The black hull further enhances this connection to nature. It reflects light and waves, creating fleeting patterns and colors that merge Liva with the beauty of the sea. It becomes not just a vessel but a part of the mesmerizing marine world.
