Hip to be Square!
Materials: Bondi by Ennis Fabrics, Ultraleather
by Ultrafabrics®
Project Description: The client had just acquired this
Cantius 60 and wanted to update the interior from
the 2018 model to a design he saw in a 2023 model.
There was some UV damage to the Ultraleather
in the existing interior, so the client was guided to
a fabric that would work well with the new layout.
The two Stidd chairs were to stay as Ultraleather,
just with refreshed coverings. The new design was
to have large square blocks paneled together for
a quilted look. The changing sizes of the cushions
required careful work to keep the blocking scaled
properly and the grids matching up as the cushions
turned around corners. Dismantling and re-installing
involved removing sections of the boat right down
the stairs to the sleeping quarters, given how the
boat was assembled. Hidden paneling behind
the sofa enclosing the TV storage area was a nice
surprise, and thankfully there was extra fabric on
hand to cover the additional area.

Project Description: The project
was a custom luxe interior made
for a 11.4 limo tender for a mother
ship. The color scheme for this
project, the terra-cotta fabric
choice against the black hull,
was very luxurious and striking.
The well-designed scale and
artistry of the upholstery elevates
the handcrafted limo tender.

Fifty Shades of Blue!
Materials: Palmetto Lapis, Tribal Trellis
Chambray, Guardian, Challenger by
Ennis Fabrics
Project Description: The client chose
various fabrics and vinyls with a blue
theme. The project included the
addition of the vinyl selections for the
captain's chair and the upholstered
ceiling panels. Stainless steel brackets
designed for an articulating backrest
in the main cabin worked smoothly,
allowing the backrest to lift and drop
down on either side of the seat as
desired. The " kids' room " beds were
designed so the lower seating would
pull out into a larger bed, using the
backrests as filler cushions to complete
the bed. The upper pilot berth also
pulls out, and the main seating
sections were made as two 2-inchthick
sunpads, so they can be taken
up to the bow and serve a second
purpose. The geometric pattern of
the stateroom fabric was a bit of fun
to line up, but a great pattern match
along the hinge seam was achieved.
While the colors and patterns were a
challenge to the eye, the client was
thrilled with this Fifty Shades of Blue!
