The Lürssen-built yacht Moon Sand was conceived as a private family retreat. That includes an interior by Bannenberg & Rowell Design with a striking pink marble bathroom in the owner’s suite with a full-sized bathtub. The owner’s wife and Bannenberg & Rowell Design’s head designer, Simon Rowell, carefully selected the naturally cotton-candy-pink-colored marble during a trip to Pietrasanta and Strettoia in Italy. Both areas, which sit at the foothills of the Apuan Alps—one of the world’s most famous marble-producing regions—have a rich tradition in marble and stone craftsmanship. “I made the marble selection trip myself in February 2020, with the owner, project manager, and shipyard interior subcontractor, as the pandemic, in its infancy, chased us through Italy," Rowell tells Robb Report. The chase was certainly worth the stunning result.
