Lobanov Design

Established in 2007, Lobanov Design is a studio focused on the future. With roots in transport design, fine art, interiors and architecture, its diverse background brings a fresh and dynamic approach to superyacht design.

Following degrees in Maths and Car Design and a Master’s in Transport Design, Igor Lobanov began his career pursuing his passion for the automotive and aviation industries. While working in the Exterior Design Department of an iconic car manufacturer, a chance meeting with a superyacht owner in 2003 changed his professional trajectory. Today, driven by a desire to bring more beauty into the world, Lobanov’s designs explore sculptural and modern aesthetics, each an ode to proportion and integrity.

The collaboration

Lobanov Design began collaborating with Benetti in 2023, a partnership announced at the Monaco Yacht Show. At the event, Giovanna Vitelli, Chair of Azimut | Benetti Group, and Igor Lobanov himself unveiled the B.Yond 57M, a voyager yacht that exemplifies the studio’s visual philosophy.

YACHT PROJECTS

The B.Yond 57M

The eco-conscious B.Yond family was born from Paolo Vitelli’s forward-thinking vision. This new Voyager concept revisits the idea of a traditional yacht, drawing inspiration from classic explorers to create a new category in steel. Specially designed for those who wish to discover the seas in complete comfort, it combines volume, reliability, and Benetti’s greenest spirit. The new B.Yond 57M marks Lobanov’s first collaboration with Benetti. Bearing the designer’s signature aesthetic, this four-deck beauty displays a high-end muscular design, enhancing the family’s ‘Voyager spirit’ and offering guests diverse experiences, even during extended onboard stays.

The B.Yond 40M

The athletic design of the B.Yond 40M reveals the identity of a yacht conceived to navigate in all-weather conditions. The distinctive futuristic traits imagined by Lobanov Design, endow her with a polished, high-end look which poses functionality at her core.
