Thesis project with sanlorenzo

Michael Harrison

Michael Harrison is a 65-year-old English gentleman with two children and a lifelong passion for vintage cars.

Guided by tradition, family and quiet refinement, he keeps his yacht in the Mediterranean for measured sailings.
Whether cruising with loved ones or hosting close friends, he values privacy, meaningful connections and the rituals that turn time into memory.

Derived from aeternus in Latin, Eterna symbolizes timelessness and enduring beauty.

Eternal elegance, stories and uniqueness define Mr. Harrison’s passions and legacy.
The yacht will embody eternal moments, where lasting memories and meaningful experiences are created.

ELEGANCE

Refined proportions, natural materials and subtle craftsmanship reflect Michael Harrison’s timeless style, creating an atmosphere of quiet sophistication.

UNIQUENESS

Tailored entirely to Michael Harrison’s life, Eterna features custom details and nods to his passions, making it truly one of a kind.

STORY

Eterna is a vessel for memory, designed to host meaningful moments, that evolves into a living archive of personal experience.

The Design Language

The interior design of this yacht reflects a carefully curated vision: one that balances timeless elegance with a deep sense of personal identity. The space draws inspiration from the classic sophistication of the owner’s residences and from his passion as a collector of vintage automobiles, paying homage to the iconic design language of 1950s and 60s cars.

Soft neutral tones are accented with subtle blues to create a serene and inviting atmosphere. A rich palette adds depth and texture throughout. The result is an interior that feels both contemporary and enduring. Every detail is considered, every surface intentional: crafted to evoke sophistication, character and a quiet confidence that transcends trends.

Passion

Designed to feel instantly welcoming, the exterior cockpit features a cozy lounge area with custom cushions, soft materials and subtle details that create a relaxed atmosphere in harmony with the yacht’s overall sense of comfort and refinement.

The main deck offers a warm, open space shaped around the owner’s daily rituals, where soft textures, natural light and a central fireplace create a calm and familiar atmosphere. Personal details, such as curated automobilia and bespoke furnishings, express Michael Harrison’s identity in a setting conceived for connection, comfort and thoughtful living.

The entrance sets a quiet and intentional tone through stitched leather, chrome accents and a framed memory from the owner’s world. Subtle details such as automobilia shelving, tailored lighting and custom furnishings extend this language throughout, grounding the space in Michael Harrison’s personal sense of tradition and everyday elegance.

Shaped around the rhythms of everyday life, the owner’s suite is a refined and private retreat where soft tones, bespoke furnishings, subtle automotive references and balanced symmetry come together to reflect the shared elegance, intimacy and quiet luxury of Michael and Isabella Harrison.

Retreat

Each guest room is a private retreat, where calm tones, natural materials and refined finishes echo the yacht’s overall atmosphere, offering guests a sense of quiet luxury, generous space and a deep feeling of ease and belonging.

Conceived as a personal retreat, this dedicated room reflects the owner’s lifelong passion for cars, craftsmanship and quiet moments, bringing together model collections, vintage memorabilia and a bespoke bar to create a space that feels entirely his, immersive, familiar and deeply personal.

Togetherness

Rituali d’Amore

Thoughtfully designed around Harrison family’s passions, the open kitchen and dining area blend functionality and intimacy as meals are prepared with care, wines from a lifetime of travels are savoured and memories are shared in a space shaped by light, details and personal meaning.

l’Ozio d’Eterna

L’Ozio d’Eterna unfolds as a private open-air retreat, where the jacuzzi, custom lounge elements and thoughtful design invite the owner to relax and reconnect while enjoying everyday moments in comfort and quiet sophistication.

Freedom

An elevated outdoor space, the fly deck allows the owner to spend a sunny day in complete privacy, enjoying refined comfort and panoramic views while creating lasting memories with loved ones.
