SANLORENZO SP110 WINS THE PRESTIGIOUS COMPASSO D'ORO 2024 AWARD

Launched at the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival, the SP110 model was selected by an international jury for its exceptional combination of Made in Italy design, high performance, and focus on sustainability.
 

Sanlorenzo was a key player at the ADI Design Museum in Milan during the XXVIII edition of the Compasso d'Oro 2024 award ceremony, a prestigious global design award established by Gio Ponti in 1954, which annually celebrates virtuous projects that combine quality, innovation, and cultural impact.

The prestigious award was bestowed upon Sanlorenzo's SP110, an open coupé that marks a breakthrough in the yachting sector, perfectly blending the unmistakable Made in Italy design, high performance, and attention to sustainability—distinctive traits of the Italian luxury yacht maison. The Compasso d'Oro does not simply recognize the most popular or most visually appealing designs but those that best represent the idea of Made in Italy design. The award operates through a careful and reasoned selection, having awarded just over 370 acknowledgements in its seventy-year history, underscoring the prestige it aims to represent worldwide.

Launched in 2022, the revolutionary SP110 confirms Sanlorenzo's ability to blend tradition and innovation, offering yachts that meet the highest standards of design and technology while addressing the growing sustainability demands in the nautical sector. The extraordinary balance of design, sustainability, and performance visible in this model results from collaboration with high-profile experts and creatives: Bernardo Zuccon for exterior design, Tilli Antonelli for product development, Marco Arnaboldi for the hull, and Piero Lissoni for the interiors.

The first of the "Smart Performance" range, the SP110 can offer high performance with maximum energy efficiency thanks to the use of fractional propulsion, composed of three engines. The energy recovery system also includes high-efficiency solar panels and lithium batteries, enabling hotellerie functions to be powered without the use of generators. The exterior design, curated by Zuccon International Project, features aerodynamic shapes and a distinctive style. The interiors, designed by Piero Lissoni, follow elegant minimalism, using lightweight materials such as lava stone, and optimize the ample onboard spaces, designed to promote both conviviality and privacy, with innovative solutions such as the expanded sun deck and the equipped bow dinette.

It is precisely due to these cutting-edge features that the international jury, through a scientific selection process that lasts two years and involves a permanent multidisciplinary observatory of about 150 experts, decided to award the Compasso d'Oro to the hull. As stated in the reasoning, the SP110 represents more than just a boat as it "interprets the idea of a floating home through new proportions, a new relationship between transparent and opaque surfaces, and new living solutions. A boat that renews the production process in a strategic sector, through careful research of constructive and usage sustainability factors."

From June 20 to September 15, 2024, the SP110 model will be on display at the ADI Design Museum, an institution that has been enhancing and spreading the culture of design nationally and internationally through the exhibition of the permanent collection and the production of thematic exhibitions with a focus on contemporary design since 2021.
