The World of Luxury Yachting

Exciting news for Rinck this fall of 2024: our team is preparing to take part in the Monaco Yacht Show this September 25-28. And, to give our first MYS experience twice the impact, we will have two display locations in the Principality during this event. First, a stand in the Parvis Piscine will showcase our contemporary furniture designs from collections presented over the past five years in Paris and Milan and exhibited in our Paris and New York galleries. But we will also have a stand in the International Yacht Company lounge to unveil an outdoor furniture collection created with Zuretti Design.

The driving force behind this quest for visibility at the industry’s most prestigious show is Rinck’s increased presence the past few years in the yachting world’s most demanding projects. The furniture department at Rinck has been manufacturing complex, creative, and exceptional pieces for numerous naval architecture ventures, working hand-in-hand with international specifiers and shipyards.

In many ways, yachting is now the most demanding business when it comes to manufacturing and finishing: Installations on vessels obviously entail engineering constraints with regard to weight, the mechanics and measurements of doors and drawers, furniture structures, weather- and wear-resistant varnishes, and more. In recent years, such challenges have been further complicated by efforts to source more virtuous, sustainable materials. Rinck – with its ability to respond to a vast variety of furniture orders ranging from 18th-century, museum-quality pieces to cutting-edge contemporary creations – is proud to be a part of the industry’s most exacting undertakings.

In conjunction with our first time as exhibitors at the Monaco Yacht Show, we are also delighted to announce that we have joined the select few who have the honor and pleasure of working on the Orient Express Silenseas, currently under construction at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique, to be operated as part of the brand reinvented by Accor. This vessel, with spectacular interiors born of the ever-inspired artistic direction of Maxime d’Angeac, will be the world’s largest sailboat and will establish a new technological gold standard for sustainability. It is also the first cruise ship that Rinck has worked on, penning a new chapter for our brand.
