Panthalassa is a racing sailing boat with the space and comfort of a motor yacht. Organic interior lines follow the exterior shape, and all interior spaces seem naturally generated from the boat itself. This continuation of design dictated perfectly blended concealed lighting that follows the lines and articulate the functionality of space.

The only feature lighting were nine fake skylights. This was the first time Aqualuce had used backlighting and tuneable colour temperature to simulate day light colour and transition.

Aqualuce was responsible for the overall Interior and Exterior lighting design.
