Design for Sea

Based in Monaco, the super-yacht capital of world, Design for Sea®, is an independent interior design consulting firm working with international shipyards and other design studios in Europe and the United States, created in 2015 after successfully completing several important projects. Francesca Romana Treleani, owner and founder of the company, after finishing her Master degree in Yacht Design at the Politecnico di Milano in 2011, found herself starting her career at the world famous and innovative Palmer Johnson Yachts shipyard. After a few months there, she started following the interior design of the 48m SuperSport revolutionary project today known as M/Y Khalilah. With its trimaran golden hull, “pop” and unique interiors, M/Y Khalilah has become today one of the most discussed and admired yachts launched. Francesca worked on every interior aspect of the project initially together with Simon Wood from Said Space Interior and Spacial Design, from 2D drawings, interior design and styling decisions to the material sourcing, vendor selection and contact, client and captain relations, preparation of the images for the client, trips to the shipyard and to the client meetings. With the M/Y Khalilah project concluded, in 2014 started the collaboration with the Tony Castro Design studio in Hamble, UK where she worked at the interior design of several different projects, from 60ft to 60m yachts. This has helped her extend her design formation with the achievement of important 3D modelling and rendering skills, making her become independent in the elaboration of a full interior design concept. Her sailing skills and devotion to the sea has helped her achieve those extra intuitions that are always needed and welcome when involved in the project of a boat.
