Genova, March 2025 – With the announcement of 45 new ships arriving over the next four years and a cruise sector in full expansion, Liguria confirms its place as a hub for the development of the international maritime industry. In this dynamic, strategic setting, Chimento Design is preparing to play a leading role.

Founded and led by Fabio Chimento, the Genova-based company is today one of the recognised names in marine interior design, with long experience in supplies for cruise ships and large international projects. The growth of port and shipbuilding activity in Liguria is a major opportunity for local companies working at a high level in marine design and outfitting.

Chimento Design, already involved in the interiors of numerous ships under construction, is ready to meet growing demand with bespoke solutions, combining Italian craftsmanship with technological innovation. With more than 50 ships fitted out and a portfolio that continues to grow, the company is a point of reference for shipowners and shipyards looking for reliable, creative partners able to manage complex projects.

“Genova is the beating heart of this transformation,” says Fabio Chimento, “and we are proud to be part of a system that looks to the future with ambition. The great cruise boom is also an opportunity to strengthen the role of Italian design on board the ships of tomorrow.”

Against the background of this boom, Chimento Design positions itself not only as a supplier but as a strategic partner for marine furnishing, ready to help define the new standards of quality, functionality and style that will shape the next generation of cruise ships.
