The debut of SESTA by Schiffini

With SESTA, a project for high-end yachting, Schiffini returns to the nautical world with a renewed perspective

Schiffini rediscovers its most ancient horizon. Between land and sea, in 1925 the brand took its first steps furnishing the naval sector in La Spezia (Italy). Collaborating with leading international architects and designers, the brand has brought to life iconic projects instantly recognizable for their formal innovation and technical excellence. This journey has consolidated the company as a symbol of Italian craftsmanship.

«A bond with the nautical world that was never truly broken – said Gianluca Menini, Schiffini Italy Sales Director - : through its Marine division, Schiffini has tangibly renewed its historic relationship with the naval sector, collaborating over time with some of the most prestigious Italian and international shipyards to furnish kitchens aboard luxury yachts».

Today, more than a century after those origins, the Company chooses to revive the pioneering spirit of 1925 and sets sail once again with SESTA, the new kitchen designed for the nautical world. The nautical environment, with its strict regulations, has always demanded millimeter-level design: optimization of compact spaces, weather resistance, and sturdiness under extreme conditions. The materials chosen for SESTA are the result of deep technical reflection, balancing sustainability and special water-repellent treatments to ensure absolute resistance to atmospheric agents and
salinity.

Designed by Ballabeni & Catellani Studio in collaboration with the SCHIFFINI Yacht Division, under the art direction of Marco Costanzi , the design shuns sharp edges. SESTA traces soft lines and smoothed profiles, conceived to follow the natural movements of navigation and create a flawless balance between design gesture and materiality. From the snack bar to the aluminum grab handles, the minimal aesthetic is enriched by meticulous attention to detail, shaping a space dedicated to conviviality—a place that, even out in the open sea, restores the deepest meaning of home.

The outdoor residential version

SESTA’s journey also extends into the world of residential outdoor living. The kitchen is presented in a version tailored for all types of outdoor spaces, while keeping intact the principles of endurance, functionality, and meticulous detailing that define the project. A new way of experiencing the outdoors, guided by the same essential and contemporary language.
