Àmina is an example of how design can serve as a bridge between memory and innovation, between local identity and a global outlook.

Àmina is a 24-meter yacht interior design project that reimagines traditional Sardinian aesthetics through a contemporary, international lens.
Its aim is to breathe new life into the island’s cultural and artisanal heritage, transforming it into a refined design language tailored to the nautical and global context.

Conceived for a co-ownership system, Àmina offers elegant, functional environments designed to deliver a shared yet premium experience. Furnishings and materials are carefully selected to combine the essential practicality of nautical design with textures, details, and colors that reflect Sardinia’s identity: handwoven fabrics, natural wood essences, and tones inspired by the Mediterranean landscape.

The name “Àmina”—which means “soul” in Sardinian—captures the project’s essence: an authentic bond with the island, its traditions, and its people, while also evoking the idea of travel as an inner and regenerative journey. The yacht becomes not only a place of luxury and comfort but also a space for reconnecting with one’s roots and with the surrounding nature.

Àmina is therefore a testament to how design can bridge memory and innovation, local identity and global vision.
