The partnership began aboard the TT460 Shell Edition
Invictus introduced the collaboration aboard the TT460 Shell Edition, a redesigned version of the 14-metre-class model developed with Fabio Rotella and Atelier Invictus. The project combines revised interior and exterior spaces with Haier equipment intended to integrate domestic convenience more naturally into the yacht’s living areas.
The companies presented the collaboration during Milan Design Week 2026, positioning onboard comfort as part of a broader design brief rather than simply adding standalone appliances. Invictus says the programme reflects shared priorities around technology, customer experience, quality and long-term reliability.
Cooking and refrigeration form the core equipment package
Haier equipment specified for the Premium Collection includes induction cooktops for interior and exterior galley areas, refrigerators and microwave ovens. These are practical systems used every day on a cruising yacht, so their integration affects storage planning, electrical loads and how owners use both enclosed and open-air entertaining spaces.
Optional equipment expands the package to washer-dryers, televisions for cabins and saloons and a range of smaller appliances. Invictus says the products will be adapted around individual yacht layouts, allowing the onboard domestic package to support different owner priorities rather than applying one identical specification across every model.
The programme will extend across four yacht models
The builder says Haier solutions will progressively appear across the Premium Collection, from the TT420 through the TT460 and up to the ST550 and TT550. The latter two measure 16.87 metres overall, while the TT460 and TT420 give the programme relevance across a broader section of the owner-operated luxury-yacht market.
Invictus also links the appliance partnership with its wider Atelier customisation programme, where finishes, colours and selected layouts can be tailored for individual owners. The intention is to make domestic technology part of the same design process as materials and furniture rather than an equipment decision taken late in the build.
Lighter materials support the wider efficiency strategy
Alongside the Haier integration, Invictus is using lightweight recyclable structural honeycomb panels for below-deck walls in place of traditional wood on new Premium Collection work. The builder says the change can reduce the weight of those components by about 20 per cent while contributing to improved efficiency and material responsibility.
For owners, the significance is the convergence of familiar domestic functions with marine-specific design and weight management. The partnership gives Invictus another way to differentiate its 12-to-17-metre luxury yachts through living comfort, while keeping appliance integration, customisation and construction choices within one coordinated product programme.
