Essenza
The Essenza Collection, the latest luxury furniture line from Carla Guilhem in partnership with Artefacto, beautifully embodies the essence of superyacht living, elegantly blending sophistication, functionality, and elements of the sea into exquisite, yachting-inspired pieces.
The concept for the Essenza Collection is rooted in the enchanting allure of the superyacht lifestyle, skillfully distilling its opulence, comfort, and nautical charm into bespoke furniture pieces that evoke a sense of serenity and luxury in any living space.
Genesis
Inspired by the lavish lifestyle aboard superyachts, Carla has taken the spirit of these floating paradises and expertly distilled it into her first yachting-inspired furniture line. The collection, composed of indoor and outdoor furniture pieces, reflects the same ethos of luxury, comfort, and functionality that one would find aboard a custom-designed superyacht. Its ethos lies in Carla’s philosophy that design should not only be about aesthetic value, but also about creating an ambiance of peace, warmth, and harmony.
