A partnership formed in 2001

Pascale Reymond and Andrew Langton founded their studio in 2001, each already carrying more than a decade in the superyacht industry. Reymond studied art history at the Sorbonne before further design training in London, while Langton took a degree in transport design. That pairing of fine-art sensibility and industrial discipline shapes the studio's work. The office began in London and later moved its headquarters to Bath. The two founders had each spent more than a decade in the industry before joining forces, and it showed from the start.

The studio designs both interiors and exteriors, though it is best known for its interior work. Its team has grown steadily while keeping the founders' hands on the work. The move west gave the practice a settled base outside the capital. Reymond and Langton remain the creative leads. Keeping the founders directly on the work has protected a consistent standard across the studio's output.

Detail, art and materials

The Reymond Langton hand is rich and detailed, with a deep interest in bespoke art, fine materials and craftsmanship. The studio often commissions custom pieces and finishes made specifically for a yacht. Its interiors feel layered and considered rather than pared back. That love of detail is the studio's signature. Custom art and finishes are commissioned specifically for each yacht rather than bought in ready-made.

Reymond's art-history background feeds a strong sense of period, texture and reference in the schemes. The office is comfortable with both classic and contemporary interiors, tailoring the mood to the owner. Its exteriors carry the same care over line and proportion. The work rewards close inspection. Small touches of craft reveal themselves the longer a guest spends aboard, and reward a second look.

Art-led interiors of real depth, aboard some of the largest yachts afloat.

Serene and the large yachts

The interior of the 134 metre Fincantieri yacht Serene is the studio's most significant project, a vast and intricate scheme aboard one of the largest yachts of its day. The studio also designed the interior and exterior of the 91 metre Lady Lara, delivered by Lurssen in 2015 and built under the project name Orchid. Its interior for the 95.2 metre Lurssen delivered in 2014 as Kismet, now Whisper, added another large yacht to the portfolio. These projects placed the office among the leading interior houses. The Serene commission alone put the studio in the front rank of large-yacht interior design.

The Nobiskrug yacht Mogambo brought the studio a World Superyacht Award, and a ShowBoats Design Award followed for the smaller Hakvoort yacht Apostrophe. The portfolio includes a string of other large motor yachts. Awards across different sizes point to consistent quality. The studio has proven itself at the very top of the fleet. Winning awards at both large and modest sizes points to steady quality rather than a lucky hit.

Working with owners and yards

Reymond Langton builds its interiors around long conversations with owners about taste, art and how they want to live. The studio then manages a large web of craftspeople and suppliers to realise the scheme. It works with leading German, Italian and Dutch yards depending on the project. Coordinating that detail at scale is a core strength. Managing many craftspeople and suppliers on a single yacht is a demanding job in its own right.

On the largest yachts the studio often leads the interior while another firm handles the exterior or naval architecture. It is used to that division and to protecting its vision through a long build. The office keeps close control over bespoke commissions so nothing is lost in delivery. This rigour suits owners who care about the finished detail. The studio guards its schemes through a long build so that nothing is lost before delivery.

A leading interior name

Reymond Langton has established itself among the most respected interior studios in the industry. Its work on Serene alone would secure that standing. The studio's blend of art, craft and detail has a loyal following among owners. Awards and repeat commissions confirm its position. Owners who have lived with a Reymond Langton interior often return for another commission.

The office continues to take on major interiors while keeping its founders closely involved. Its Bath base gives it a distinct identity within British design. The studio remains a natural choice for owners who want a rich, art-led interior. Its reputation rests on delivered work at the largest scale. Few interior studios can point to as much high-end work that has actually been built and delivered.

Who it is for: Owners who want a layered, art-led interior with bespoke commissions and fine materials throughout.
