Adagio interiors provide a gentle and tranquil environment reflecting and reacting to the natural light of the changing days and seasons. With subtle reference to maritime tradition and form, the interiors are elegantly understated, beautifully crafted and compliment the superb technical conception of Adagio.

A mid-toned Beech veneer with a water grain and subtly sumptuous appearance is used on general joinery throughout. A paler toned bamboo board for the interior flooring, along with silvery grey carpet in the saloon, stateroom and two cabins, is used as an accent to the white head-lining and interior expression of the hull carefully articulating the expression of the structural elements and the furnished elements.

The fitted upholstery in the saloon, pilothouse, and flybridge is within the grey/silver/warm grey palette using gentle yellows as accents on two chairs and cushions.

The joinery in the master cabin is Tasmanian Fiddle Back Oak veneer, used as a reference to the owner’s birthplace, and a sumptuous leafy French tapestry has been installed as a bed-head panel to balance the pattern of the timber veneer.

Seating on the rear deck is upholstered in traditional stripes of off-white and pale blue in keeping with the softened palette throughout the boat.
