The form of Vento (‘wind’ in Italian) was inspired by the famous C42 cruiser which the designer Massimo Mercurio remembers from his childhood. With a seaside theme and lifestyle that was gravitating around the nearby One Degree 15 Marina, even the interiors of Vento resembles that of a high-end motorboat with wooden cladding, cabin-like beds and portholes for windows. There are no rooms, only cabins. Everything is wood, the walls and the ceiling. The inside is designed to be representative of a boat.
