DESIGN NAME: Modern Style with Wabi Sabi Touch
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Yacht Interior Design
INSPIRATION: Inspired by Wabi-Sabi design, this work focuses on the beauty found in imperfections and the natural cycle of aging. Warm tones and textures in nature that evoke a sense of intimacy and comfort were carefully selected. The organic forms of natural elements, where no two shapes are alike, speak to the unique, ever-changing world around us. Embracing raw naturalness creates an environment that feels authentic and vibrant, while the resulting tranquility offers a peaceful escape from modern life's chaos. These guiding concepts—warmth, form, naturalness, and calm—capture the essence of Wabi-Sabi inspiration and shape the design vision.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: What sets this design apart is the profound spiritual calm it offers. By merging modern lines with wabi-sabi philosophy, natural materials, organic forms, and warm hues, the space becomes an inner sanctuary away from mainland chaos. Isn't that exactly why we choose our yachts? It delivers an unparalleled experience, transcending conventional standards by emphasizing spiritual depth and aesthetic comfort.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: SOUL, as an 80-meter yacht, merges wabi-sabi aesthetics with modern technology. Its design, characterized by clean, flowing lines and natural materials, offers spiritual tranquility and luxury in the master cabin. Integrated automation, high-performance propulsion, servo steering, and stability control technologies ensure safe, comfortable, and efficient navigation. This innovative harmony makes SOUL truly unique.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in 2024 in Antalya, Turkey, and was completed in February 2025.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: I used natural materials, but this choice goes beyond aesthetics—it was made with sustainability and durability in mind. In the production process, I combined traditional craftsmanship with advanced technology. Digital modeling and simulation techniques were employed to optimize the design’s ergonomic and functional aspects, while emphasizing natural elements and spiritual depth in every detail.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: On SOUL 80, clean, crisp, sweeping lines seamlessly merge with contemporary elements, creating an elegant and timeless interplay of balanced proportions that capture the essence of wabi-sabi design. This 80-meter yacht, aptly named SOUL, exemplifies a luxurious yet measured aesthetic where refined details and natural imperfections coexist in perfect harmony, redefining modern maritime elegance.
