Twenty-three years ago, Sam Sorgiovanni decided to follow his dream to open his own design studio in Fremantle, Western Australia.
He has since created many bespoke interior and exterior yacht designs like the two 88.5-metre/290-feet Oceanco vessels Nirvana and Barbara, 82-metre/270-feet Abeking & Rasmussen Secret, the 126-metre/413-feet Lürssen Octopus, to name only a few.
Sam Sorgiovanni travels the world to consult with his clients to find out just what they want in a yacht. Australia is miles and hours away from all other continents and time is of the essence. Thus, today, another of his dreams came true: the opening of a representative office in Monaco.
Michele Flandin, who is no stranger to the industry having spent 25 years in yachting including 12 years as Oceanco’s Marketing Manager, will run the new office and proudly represent Sorgiovanni Designs.
“I have known Sam for over 12 years and since he designed Wheels (ex-Anastasia – pictured above), a splendid 75.5-metre/248-feet Oceanco, I have always been seduced by every very unique yacht he creates.
