Zaffiro III

In 1984 Mauro Micheli won a Riva competition and joined the yard as an assistant. He was born in Adrara San Martino in 1959 and had studied at the Brera Art Academy in Milan. Ten years later he founded Officina Italiana Design in Bergamo with Sergio Beretta, who began his career in the aeronautical sector. The studio has been exclusively linked to Riva and designs both the exterior lines and the interiors of the whole range. Its work includes Sairu, a 54.8-metre Riva 54Metri launched in August 2025 as Riva's largest superyacht to date. For Sanlorenzo it drew the exterior of the SX88 crossover, launched in 2018, and of Alchemist, a 61.87-metre 62Steel delivered in 2022. Two of our listings carry its name. Noi, a 28.49-metre Riva Argo 90 from 2020, is Officina Italiana inside and out. Zaffiro III, a Sanlorenzo SX88 delivered in 2020, has exterior lines by Officina Italiana.

Piero Lissoni has been art director of Sanlorenzo since 2018. He founded Lissoni & Partners in Milan in 1986 with Nicoletta Lissoni. It is an interdisciplinary studio working across architecture, landscape, interiors, product and graphic design, with offices in Milan and New York. Its yacht work centres on Sanlorenzo, including the SX series, and extends to Bluegame. BOAT International credits the studio with the interior of the SX88 crossover, launched in 2018. It also credits the studio with the interior of Sundance, a 34.14-metre SX112 delivered in 2021. Piero Lissoni designed the interiors of Virtuosity, a 56.5-metre 57Steel delivered in 2023 with exterior lines by Zuccon International Project. Zaffiro III, a Sanlorenzo SX88 delivered in 2020, has interiors by Lissoni & Partners and exterior lines by Officina Italiana.
