The Vertigo 220' Superyacht Has A Sophisticated Interior Designed by Christian Liaigre.

A 220 foot sailing yacht from Alloy Yachts, the AY41 Vertigo Superyacht was designed by Naval Architect Philippe Briand with sophisticated and luxurious interior decor by Christian Liaigre. Built in New Zealand, the client requested an "urban feel' for the interior and Liaigre gave them that in spades. With custom designed furnishings, glossy woods, stainless steel kitchen appliances, chromed fixtures, modern lighting, sumptuous leather accents, tinted walnut and black sandblasted wood floorboards and the latest in technology, the yacht feels more like a Manhattan penthouse than say, a Manhattan penthouse.
