FM Architettura presents the interior architecture of M/Y Stella M, the 71.76-metre yacht built by Feadship. A project conceived as a private retreat on the water, architecture, light, and materiality converge to create a new expression of calm, contemporary living at sea. The interior was developed in response to the owners’ desire for intimacy, clarity, and connection to nature. In response the project moves away from traditional expressions of luxury, and instead proposes a more refined and personal model of onboard life — one defined by purity, balance, and emotional comfort.
The interiors are shaped by a philosophy of subtraction, where essential volumes, clean lines, and precise detailing create a sense of effortless order. A Japandi-inspired sensibility — merging Japanese calm with Nordic clarity — informs the overall design language, expressed through natural woods, softly textured stones, and tactile fabrics in muted, earthy tones.
“The intention was never to create spectacle,” explains Francesca Muzio, founder and Creative Director of FM Architettura. “Stella M is about removing excess — allowing space, light, and material to define the experience.” This approach positions the yacht not as an object of display, but as an environment designed to support stillness, reflection, and everyday living at sea.
