Aboard M/Y ZAZOU: Crafting Bold Beauty with STILLA’s Custom Floral Design

M/Y ZAZOU is hard to miss. With its striking blue hull and sleek 65-meter silhouette designed by Omega Architects, it turns heads wherever it sails. Built by Benetti and styled by Sinot, ZAZOU isn’t just a yacht—it’s a statement of modern elegance and unapologetic confidence.

So, when STILLA was invited to design custom preserved floral arrangements for ZAZOU, we knew the work had to match that same energy. No compromises. No clichés. Just bold, sculptural beauty tailored to the yacht’s interiors and spirit.

A Vision of Boldness, Multiplied

The yacht’s design is modern and crisp, with clean lines and a neutral interior palette that quietly supports moments of color. Our design brief was clear: make the flowers speak confidently, and with just the right amount of drama.

We created three distinctive floral chapters for this project: one passionate, one radiant, one serene. Each was designed to complement the setting it lived in, whether a dining area, a guest space, or a lounge with a view of the sea.

Passion in Red: A Mirrored Statement

Let’s start with the showstoppers: two identical mirrored arrangements designed to face one another across a large communal space. This bold duo blended deep reds, vivid oranges, and golden notes in a dark, glossy ceramic vase.

From the bio-preserved anthuriums’ lacquered shine to the textured poppies and tropical red ginger, this was floristry turned sculpture. The arrangements created visual rhythm and depth, like a high-fashion interpretation of a Mediterranean sunset.

They weren’t just decor. They were a heartbeat.

Solar Tones and Natural Ease

To brighten shared spaces and deck areas, we introduced an elongated arrangement in a fresh, sunlit palette: yellow, soft white, amber, and golden beige. It was full of organic, contrasting wild textures and smooth blooms, tropical notes and European softness.

Eternal ranunculus, anthurium, and mimosa danced with glossy greens, while neutral protea brought the structure. The atmosphere was cheerful yet perfectly suited for the relaxed elegance of ZAZOU’s social spaces.

Long, low, and designed for easy conversation, it brought joyful energy without interrupting the view.

Into the Blue: Cool, Collected, and Fresh

The final piece in our trio of arrangements was all about calm. Inspired by the tones of the sea and sky, this soft yet structured arrangement blended preserved hydrangea, blue delphinium, and creamy eternal roses with sculptural lotus pods and pale anthurium. All crafted to last the whole season onboard.

Its compact, slightly domed silhouette kept things graceful, while the cool tones offered visual relief: a natural fit for quieter corners or private suites.

Where the red pieces were fiery and the yellow expansive, this one was meditative. It brought a breath of stillness into the design language of the yacht.

The STILLA Advantage: Flowers That Fit the Yacht Lifestyle

As with all STILLA projects, every arrangement was made with our signature preserved flowers. That means:

• No water, no daily upkeep
• Long-lasting beauty (we’re talking a whole yachting season and more)
• Zero mess, zero maintenance
• Fully yacht-friendly: lightweight, secure, and built for movement

Because a superyacht should feel luxurious, not labor-intensive, for guests or crew.

We also worked with vases that were intentionally chosen for balance, base weight, and finish. Aesthetics matter, but on a yacht, functionality is non-negotiable.

Design That Reflects a Lifestyle

ZAZOU is more than a yacht, it’s an experience of modern living at sea. From its private cinema and sun deck pool to the oversized windows and full-beam beach club, every corner has been crafted for comfort and design in equal measure.

Our florals followed that same logic. Nothing was ornamental for the sake of it. Every bloom was placed with intention, every silhouette designed to enhance the space it lived in.

This wasn’t just styling. It was storytelling.

Working with M/Y ZAZOU was a masterclass in bold design and thoughtful balance. Our goal wasn’t just to make something beautiful, but to make something that felt like it truly belonged onboard.

With preserved florals tailored for life at sea, STILLA helped bring ZAZOU’s interior world to life—vibrant, refined, and built to last.
