Milanese architect Dante Benini selects the Antolini stone to detail the interior of a premium 60-meter S/Y Seven yacht by Italian ship manufacturer Perini Navi. The White Onyx stones line the living spaces of the luxe space and it is designed by Benini to elevate the interior. This is applied to complement the wood, leather, and cowhide inside of the yacht.
The architect explains that "For this boat, the selection of the materials and attention to detail have played a decisive role in the formulation of a unique, elegant and timeless product, which I hope will be able to represent what we admire today in the great sailing ships of the past, even 50 years from now."
