The most used materials are dark wengé wood, used and calibrated to carry out the major and most important furnishings, in combination with textiles in various gradations of grey and dove color (all textiles belonging to the Armani Home collection) used for wall coverings, decorative cushions and bedspreads. In certain significant parts, rooms have been preciously decorated with walls covered in white onyx, which has then been backlit to create unique atmospheres of light. The main furniture parts designed for interior areas are loose objects, detached from walls, often suspended (as far example the Owner’s bed) and always emphasized by a diffused indirect light.
The naval architecture and marine engineering of the explorer yacht Poseidon has been developed by Arrabito Naval Architects, who have studied particularly efficient hull lines able to run in low consumption long range, but also to reach higher top speeds than an usual full displacement explorer vessel.
With the standard engines option (C32 Acert Caterpillar 2x 1300 bhp) the 44m expedition yacht Poseidon will reach a top speed of about 17 kn, while with the optional propulsive solution of MTU 16v2000M94 (2×1936 kw) the top speed will be of about 20 kn (cruise speed of 17 kn).
The hull, decks and superstructure of luxury yacht Poseidon will be totally built in Marine Grade Aluminium, the idea is that both hull and superstructure could be light grey color recalling a Marine vessel.
The structural calculation will be aided with finite element methods (F.E.M.) to guarantee the lightest and stiffest explorer vessel in its own category.
