Textiles are becoming part of Ferretti Yachts’ interiors through a new collaboration with Quagliotti, the Piedmont-based company that has been working in high-end Italian textile manufacturing since 1933. The partnership is making its debut at the international boat shows taking place in September 2026, where Quagliotti is bringing its textile savoir-faire aboard selected yachts in the Ferretti Yachts fleet.
From the cabins to the living areas, Quagliotti’s contribution will include bed linen and textile elements, introducing materials that play a precise role in how an interior is perceived. Fabrics, surfaces and details are part of the everyday interaction with a space and can influence its atmosphere and comfort without altering its architecture.
Textiles as part of the interior
On board, the relationship with materials is particularly direct. A cabin is experienced through light, proportions and furnishings, but also through surfaces that are touched and used every day. Bed linen, fabrics and accessories therefore contribute to the overall feel of the space. This is where Quagliotti’s work for Ferretti Yachts comes into play. The project will involve both the more private areas and those dedicated to socialising, extending the same textile language from the owner’s cabin to the living spaces.
For Quagliotti, the move is consistent with a business that extends well beyond the residential sector. The company already works across hospitality, contract and private projects, while producing bed, bath and table linen directly in Chieri.
Yachting, however, introduces specific requirements. Textile elements become part of interiors where every choice interacts with the materials, colours, lighting and dimensions established by the yacht’s design. The ability to customise each product therefore takes on particular importance.
From Chieri to yacht interiors
Quagliotti’s story began in 1933, when Vincenzo Quagliotti acquired a small textile factory in Chieri, near Turin. Today, the company has reached its fourth generation and continues to concentrate much of its production process at its Piedmont headquarters.
The process begins with the selection of yarns, including cotton, linen and cashmere blends, before moving through weaving, making and finishing. According to the company, this largely vertically integrated production structure provides direct control over quality while allowing a high degree of customisation.
This becomes particularly relevant when the product moves aboard a yacht. The ability to adapt workmanship and finishes allows textiles to respond to the identity of an interior rather than simply being introduced as separate decorative elements. The partnership with Ferretti Yachts therefore brings aboard expertise built around materials and bespoke craftsmanship, connecting it with spaces designed to be lived in for extended periods.
A collaboration beginning at the september Boat Shows
The collaboration is making its debut at the international boat shows in September 2026, where its first applications will be presented aboard selected Ferretti Yachts models. The project, however, is intended to extend beyond the September events. The two companies have announced a broader collaboration designed to develop over time through new initiatives related to yachts, products and the wider story of the encounter between yachting and Italian textile craftsmanship.
For Silvia Quagliotti, who leads the company alongside her daughter Eleonora Peretti, the partnership also stems from a personal connection with the sea and boating, bringing together customisation, creativity and Italian craftsmanship.
