Architecture for Voyagers

Hot Lab was established in Milan in 2004 by Antonio Romano and Enrico Lumini, respectively marketing and design manager. This dynamic partnership promptly put itself to the test, developing projects that stand out for their painstaking formal research and sober and elegant styling. Hot Lab’s work benefit some of the most prestigious shipyards and refined owners who are accompanied and advised throughout the entire design and construction process of their yachts. From 2022 Hot Lab is part of Viken Group

We are designing yachts with a new approach and a renewed balance between style and luxury. We call it “Architecture for Voyagers”

In little more than a decade, the design studio has emerged at the front of a very complex and competitive sector, giving life to the shared objective of the partnership: to work for clients who are proud to own a Hot Lab designed product. Their lead came about not only from hard work, but also in virtue of the dual soul symbolized in the two words that compose the studio’s name: passionate about everything that pertains to client relations and the more romantic aspect of a job that always begins with a pencil and a blank sheet of paper; experimental and technological about the use of advanced software for everything down to the smallest detail.

The studio has received several international awards, including many World Superyacht Awards and ShowBoats Design, in addition to the World Yachts Trophies and Finest Interior Awards, and can boast of consolidated relationships with both Italian and foreign shipyards that work from the studio’s interior and exterior designs on both custom and series produced yachts.
