F/LIST founds F/YACHTING: A milestone in the luxury yacht industry

The unveiling took place in front of an exclusive audience of around 100 customers and partners in the in-house futurelab, called F/LAB. "The foundation of F/YACHTING is a significant step for F/LIST and underlines our continuous innovation and commitment to first-class quality," says Katharina List-Nagl, CEO of F/LIST. Werner Kartner, F/LIST CCO, and Andreas Aigner, F/LIST COO, will take over the management of F/YACHTING in addition to their F/LIST management activities.
With F/YACHTING, the goal is now not only to redefine the interior of large yachts through the use of groundbreaking new materials and production methods, but also to support owners and crew with the 361-degree service for life.

 

Andreas Aigner: "Through innovative solutions in furniture construction, we create unique living spaces for customers on the water. Our new approach, our 361-degree service, stems from this innovative spirit. We dissolve the boundaries of yacht design and focus on a holistic approach in which we are partners at eye level right from the start: for our customers in the owner's team, for designers in planning, for developers in implementation, for crews in daily management."

 

F/YACHTING offers customers innovative solutions to reconcile the issues of sustainability and the desire for constant change in the yacht segment. The F/LAB is the cradle of F/LIST's and now also F/YACHTING's innovative strength. This is where the companies develop new materials, technologies and mechanisms, always with the aim of making dreams come true in interior design and overcoming boundaries.

 

"We are always the right contact for outfitting, interiors and exteriors, regardless of whether the yacht is just an idea in our customers' heads, is already being worked on in dry dock or is waiting on the water to be fitted out, refitted or refurbished," explains Werner Kartner.

on 23.03.2024 at the age of 76 after a serious illness passed away. This loss hits us all hard and leaves a painful gap, not only in his family and our organization, but also in the world of exclusive exclusive interior design.
Franz List's vision took us from a modest carpentry shop founded by his father in 1950 to a globally recognized company. His leadership, his love of the craft and his innovative spirit have made F/LIST what it is today.

He will be greatly missed.
