Four places where our work happens, each with a job on record.
Upholstery, produced to drawing
In Italy
Loose furniture, upholstery, built-in cabinetry and bulkhead cladding are produced to drawing in marine-grade woods, textiles and metals. For the Magrodome on Explora III, the teak dividers were designed in-house and woven by hand in Italy; the same woven teak language is reinterpreted across the curved counters.
Nautilus Club, Explora III
At the Yard
On a new build, our teams install on board before delivery. Every Nautilus Club component for Explora III, at Fincantieri Sestri Ponente in Genova, was pre-assembled and quality-checked in Italy, then shipped and installed on board.
An MSC ship in dry dock
In Dry Dock
On ships in service, tight schedules, dry-dock windows and several contractors working at once are normal conditions. On MSC Splendida, at Palumbo Shipyards in Valletta, the Restaurant, Foyer, Meeting Area and Reception were renewed and completed on schedule.
Pool Area, Explora II
At Sea
After delivery, maintenance and quick-response support cover repairs, updates and the long-term care of the furnishings installed. On Explora II, the sun loungers and cushions of the Pool Area on Deck 5 use the DryFeel System, designed to withstand the marine environment.
“Chimento Design is a company with little bureaucracy: decisions do not have to go through ten different managers before they are taken. Our strength is speed, especially in solving urgent problems, and that makes us highly reliable in the eyes of our international clients.”
