We meet at golden hour, where the light falls like velvet over walnut and brass. Nathalie speaks softly, but every sentence lands with the calm of someone who knows exactly what she is building.
On beginnings
I never wanted noise—only form. With Maison Marin, the brief was always clarity: materials that hold memory, silhouettes that feel inevitable. Yachts are simply another canvas for that belief.
Luxury is not abundance; it is selection. Restraint is the bravest choice.
On craft
True craftsmanship is a conversation with time. We design so that the eye rests—linen that breathes, leathers that patinate, and joinery that disappears into function.
On restraint
Luxury is not abundance; it is selection. On water, every decision earns its place. The palette narrows. The senses deepen.
