Exclusive restaurants, luxurious hotels and now the Costa Smeralda: Adam D. Tihany is a man who is much in demand \u2013 and he\u2019s also a bit of a globetrotter. The architect\u2019s exquisite interior design can be admired all over the world: at the Mandarin Oriental Manhattan, the Aleph Hotel in Rom, The Beverly Hills Hotel, at China World Summit Wing in Peking and in many other places.<\/p>\n

\u201cItaly\u2019s finest\u201d was the motto he chose as his design brief for the Costa Smeralda. \u201cIt\u2019s a place where every taste feels like a dream and where time itself seems to slow. Here style is king, beauty is queen. This for me is Italy\u2019s finest\u201d, he explains. Italy also plays a key role in Tihany\u2019s life: the cosmopolitan designer was born in Romania, spent his childhood in Israel and then moved to Milan to study architecture. He now heads his own design studio in New York.<\/p>\n

It takes an expert to spot Tihany\u2019s design signature, as a refusal to repeat himself is one of his guiding principles, as is his complete and utter immersion in the space he is designing. Each location and project is different, and so is the design he creates for them. It goes without saying that Tihany has long been a master of what modern marketing pros like to call \u201cstorytelling\u201d: his interiors weave stories and create engaging experiences.<\/p>\n

Costa Smeralda is perfect proof of this: to come aboard this ship is to travel to Italy, no matter where you actually happen to be heading. The decks are named after the country\u2019s most beautiful cities and each captures the unique spirit of its namesake. The walk from the elevator to one\u2019s cabin is transformed into a stroll through the city.<\/p>\n

As Creative Director of Costa Smeralda, Tihany says he was allowed to do \u201call the fun stuff\u201d. He created the style of the ship and selected the designers and partners who were entrusted with turning his creative vision into reality: Partner Ship Design from Hamburg, Rockwell and Jeffrey Beers from New York and Dordoni Architetti from Milan.<\/p>\n

Rodolfo Dordoni and Luca Zaniboni were responsible for the interior design of the cabins, and they believe that \u201can Italian ship is always a part of Italy, regardless of where it is in the world.\u201d \u201cWe wanted to give each detail a personal touch with specially crafted pieces which were made in collaboration with some of Italy\u2019s finest design companies.\u201d The aim was to make the cabins more contemporary and innovative \u2013 and unmistakably Italian in the colours, shapes and decors, materials and textures. The sofas and armchairs are by Molteni, the balcony furniture is by Roda, lamps and lighting by Flos, luxurious fabrics and upholstery by Dedar and Rubelli.<\/p>\n

For Adam D. Tihany having original design from Italy was non-negotiable: \u201cI contacted 15 renowned Italian furnishing and design companies to ensure that our team had access to the best of \u201cMade in Italy\u201d. Usually, it takes between three and six months before you get an answer from the big brands, and usually it\u2019s a no. But for this project every single one got back within three days, and they all accepted.\u201d Tihany has an explanation why this was the case: \u201cIt is about working with Costa to revive Italy\u2019s national pride. And everyone wants to be a part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Italians have every reason to be proud: architecture and furniture design, fashion and textiles, aircraft design and culinary arts are only a few of the areas in which Italy excels and draws on a long tradition. For proof of just how vibrant and creative this tradition still is, look no further than furniture trade shows, auto salons \u2013 and everyday life across Italy. From the Vespa to the espresso maker: Italian design classics are everywhere.<\/p>\n

The master was thrilled to be allowed to create the first design museum on board a cruise ship. Aided by curator Matteo Vercelloni, Professor of Design History at Milan Polytechnic, Adam D. Tihany compiled the Co.De<\/em> \u2013 the Costa Design Collection<\/em>. <\/strong>The exhibition presents the many different facets of Italian lifestyle and Italian design: furniture, fashion, transport, mementos. The show is living proof of why design \u201cMade in Italy\u201d became so famous all over the world. And what\u2019s even more astonishing is that 85% of the items on show are still being made, including products from the 1950s but also a Superga tennis shoe from 1925. The walk through the collection is equally stunning: the illuminated stainless steel tunnel and open, ring-shaped apertures allow visitors to explore the exhibition at their leisure.<\/p>\n

A ship that is a fully immersive experience, with fascinating history and inspiring stories around every corner; a place where passengers can discover and savour the many different facets of Italian lifestyle every time they take a stroll: welcome to the Costa Smeralda! After the successful completion of this project, creative director Adam D. Tihany is turning to new challenges. One of them happens to be another ship for Costa Cruises\u2026.we can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n

Tihany was born in 1948 in Targa Mures, a small town in Transylvania, Romania. His parents emigrated to Israel in 1950; he grew up in Jerusalem and went to Milan to study architecture. His focus on restaurants and hotels was a coincidence \u2013 there wasn\u2019t much choice for those who wanted to make a living working in architecture. In 1975, Tihany moved to New York, where he set up his own studio in 1978. Thanks to his creativity on board, Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveller has ranked him as one of the “15 Celebrities Changing the Way We Cruise Today”.
