YACHT DESIGN STUDIO — TUSCANY, ITALY
Thinking outside the harbor. Designing for tomorrow.
Leoni Design Workshop is a yacht design studio creating yacht concepts, refit proposals and owner-ready presentation decks for owners, brokers and shipyards, helping them compare options, reduce uncertainty and make clearer design decisions.
Years of yacht design experience informed by real shipyard work
Use cases: new build direction, refit vision and owner-ready design proposals
Goal: help clients shape better yacht projects from the first decision onward
WHY CLIENTS USE LDWO
Beautiful visuals are useful only when they help people decide.
A yacht idea becomes expensive when it is still vague. LDWO helps clarify the direction before serious budget, yard time or owner attention is committed.
Reduce uncertainty
Turn references, taste, onboard needs and commercial objectives into a design direction that can be discussed, priced and challenged.
Compare options
Show alternative routes, not one isolated image, so decision makers can understand trade-offs in style, complexity and value.
Support sales
Help brokers, shipyards and owners present the future potential of a yacht before the buyer or stakeholder loses interest.
SELECTED WORK
Concepts with a commercial purpose.
Yacht concepts, refit thinking and design systems developed to help clients visualize value and move conversations forward.

COMMERCIAL LOGIC
Design as a decision tool.
The goal is not to produce another beautiful render. The goal is to help a stakeholder decide what to approve, sell, price, develop or discard.
WHAT MAKES THE WORK USEFUL
Clear outputs, visible trade-offs, practical next steps.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Design beyond the vessel.
LDWO also develops broader design directions where yacht architecture, interiors, outdoor living, sculptural furniture, artworks and material storytelling become part of one coherent vision. A yacht is no longer only a vessel. It can become a private resort, a floating gallery, a wellness retreat and a personal world at sea.

Clarify the goal, test the direction, compare the options and decide the next move.
