NIKI

Cantieri Navali Lavagna's 1988 motor yacht NIKI centers her social life around an expansive aft deck that functions as both formal dining space and waterside retreat. This thoughtfully proportioned outdoor area flows directly to the swim platform, creating an uninterrupted connection between lounging above deck and direct water access below. Built-in seating curves around the perimeter while a central dining table anchors the space for evening meals under stars. At 24.4 meters, NIKI offers the scaled intimacy that defines Italian yacht building from this era, when builders prioritized livable proportions over sheer size. Her layout favors outdoor living without sacrificing interior comfort, allowing guests to move naturally between enclosed and open spaces throughout the day. The yacht's classic lines reflect the restrained approach characteristic of Lavagna's work during the late 1980s, when function guided form rather than following transient trends.
