Word of the day: Gesamtkunstwerk

Like a beautiful woman who with a change of dress becomes even more alluring, the Azimut 72 Flybridge revealed a new interior design at the Düsseldorf Boat Show earlier this year.
The inspiration for the new look was the German concept of Gesamtkunstwer which translates as "a total work of art" and was founded in the 19th century with the idea of combining different artistic expressions to create a single cohesive ensemble.
Two hundred years later, this philosophy is interpreted in the 72 Flybridge by taking nature as its starting point, with soft, flowing lines and rounded contours evoking the sculptural, undulating forms of the sea and its waves.
From the natural, tactile wood to the way the spaces have been organised and a myriad of tiny, distinctive details, every element speaks the same language in a continuous, recurrent theme of lines and colours. The exterior also abides by the rules of this delicate game of harmony and continuity, with the redesigned lateral windows losing their fin to create greater visibility and strengthening that extraordinary sense of oneness with the sea.
