Nostalgia ed emozione nel disegno degli interni nautici di Stefano Faggioni

In the realm of contemporary yacht design, Stefano Faggioni’s work stands out for its ability to seamlessly integrate functional requirements with a profound emotional engagement, achieved through refined and expressive use of drawing. This study examines Faggioni’s design approach in the field of nautical interiors, highlighting the central role of drawing as a tool for representation, exploration, and transmission of cultural and traditional values. The analysis reveals how Faggioni’s drawings are distinguished by an evocative aesthetic, capable of recreating past atmospheres. In particular, the study underscores the indispensable role of freehand drawing as a means of spatial conceptualisation and preservation of the historical memory of classic boats. Furthermore, the research investigates the continuity between tradition and innovation in Faggioni’s work, considering not only the restoration of historic boats but also the design of contemporary yachts. The findings of this study emphasise how, in Faggioni’s hands, drawing is not merely a technical instrument but a medium of expression, capable of conveying identity, emotion, and memory. The analysis confirms the significance of drawing as an integral component of the design process and as a vehicle for innovation that remains rooted in tradition. This reflection opens up new perspectives on the role of drawing in contemporary yacht design, suggesting a potential reassessment of its value within current design practice.
