DYDXL Design Forge Unveils Its New Talassea 145 Superyacht Concept
For its newest superyacht concept, DYDXL Design Forge channeled the past.
The vessel, known as Talassea 145, takes design cues from Rationalist architecture, which flourished in Italy back in the 1920s and ’30s. It reflects the clean, simple aesthetic synonymous with the movement, showcasing a sleek exterior with smooth lines that run from the sharp bow to the angular stern.
The sub-500GT yacht is also a study of volumes, according to the Italian studio, one that focuses on balance and proportions throughout each space aboard. And, since every area has a clear purpose, the 147-footer offers up the comfort and space of a much larger yacht, with no volume wasted. That starts right in the interiors, where architect and DYDXL founder Franco Gnessi added plenty of modern design touches, including striking marble accents, wooden elements, and pops of deep green in the main salon. There, you’ll also find expansive windows with ocean views. The skylounge, too, offers up panoramic vistas, making it an ideal place to unwind.

As for accommodations, there are four guest cabins aboard (two of which can be converted, depending on what you’d like to use them for). The standout is, of course, the full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck. Akin to one found on a much larger vessel, the suite features a stunning marble bathroom, a large closet, and an office space. The lower deck, meanwhile, is home to four crew cabins.
Heading outdoors, the beach club is outfitted with a swimming pool and fold-out bulwarks that open to increase the relaxation space aft. The upper deck is home to another outdoor social area, while the flybridge sports yet another pool, a lounge, a bar, and a dining area. (All of that can be configured to the owner’s desires, too.)

In terms of grunt, the concept is imagined with a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system that would allow it to cruise with zero emissions for 30 to 60 minutes, according to the studio. Overall, Talassea 145 shows how sustainability, architecture, and comfort can be combined on the seas. Very rational, indeed.
