Outstanding Achievement in a Motor Yacht ~ Lady Anne
The 68.5-meter Amels build Lady Anne was produced with heavy involvement from her owners, beginning to end. The owners, a fashion industry executive and an architect, were uniquely qualified to participate in a material way in the creation of the yacht. They described the yacht’s interior background décor as "forever," meaning modern, stylish and elegant, but not trendy. For interior inspiration they looked to the grand salons of the transatlantic liners of the 1920s and thirties, such as Ile de France and Normandie. They began collecting their furnishings with several original pieces by Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, one of the greatest Parisian cabinetmakers of the twentieth century. The Parisian firm of Ludwig & Dominique continues Ruhlmann’s work. Nine of the company’s craftsmen took two-and-a-half years to complete the yacht’s additional furnishings. She is a superb example of what a committed owner and an experienced shipyard can accomplish together.
