I get some of my best interior decorating ideas from aboard charter yachts, especially ones like the 214-foot Feadship motoryacht Trident, which I toured at last month’s Antigua charter yacht show. This yacht has an interior decor by world-renowned designer Donald Starkey, who did something so interesting with the guest bathroom floors that I couldn’t help but snap away at with my camera.
Take a look at these photographs, each of which is of a different guest bathroom floor aboard Trident:
DJ Kiernan, who heads the charter division at Feadship, told me that each of these floors was made from individual glass tiles that were arranged on work tables, hand numbered, and installed in sequence only after Starkey gave his approval for the mosaic layouts. The result, as you can see, is a repeating pattern whose color schemes give each room an entirely different ambience. They range from what felt to me like masculine, in the top photograph, to cozy in the bottom image.
Interestingly, Kiernan told me that Trident was for sale while she was being completed at the Feadship yard. Thus, what you are seeing in these photographs is a leading interior designer’s unbridled vision of how glass tile can be used effectively.
Beautiful, right?
Any reputable charter broker can tell you more about Trident or help you book a week onboard.
