Shaping Living Spaces, Elevating Journeys
Our manifesto
At Atelier Cala, we believe that yacht interiors are more than aesthetic gestures, they are living environments in motion, designed to resonate with the rhythm of the sea and the evolving life of their owner. Each project is an intimate dialogue between heritage and innovation, function and emotion, elegance and ease.
Rooted in the warmth of the Mediterranean and the rigour of fine craftsmanship, our studio merges old-world soul with contemporary clarity. We honour tradition while embracing purposeful innovation, blending natural materials with refined technology to create interiors that feel timeless, tailored, and deeply personal.
We see every yacht as a unique piece, a space where comfort becomes ritual, light becomes language, and silence becomes luxury. In a world where attention is scattered, we design for stillness. In environments shaped by movement, we create spaces that ground you: spaces that nurture both the body and the mind.
For those who seek meaning as much as beauty, we offer more than design, we offer presence. A quiet luxury that lingers. A bespoke journey crafted not only to endure, but to elevate.
Every detail, every decision, every line we draw is made with one intention: to transform time at sea into something unforgettable.
Meet the founder
Arnau Salvadó is the founder and design director of Atelier Cala. With a background forged in high-end yacht design and combined expertise, his vision is clear: to shape interiors that not only captivate the eye but support life with precision, intention, and grace.
During his time at the acclaimed Dutch studio Wetzels Brown, Arnau worked in few bespoke super yachts projects, crafted in collaboration with shipyards such as Royal Huisman, Damen and Mengi Yay. These formative years sharpened his understanding of technical excellence, spatial logic, and the rhythm of life at sea.
His design philosophy is rooted in the belief that functionality is the foundation of elegance. Every space must respond intuitively to the needs of those who inhabit it, offering clarity, comfort and flexibility, without compromising on emotion or beauty. His work blends the sensitivity of an interior designer with the discipline of a craftsman, always seeking the balance between structure and soul.
Upon returning to Barcelona, Atelier Cala is founded to create interiors where refinement meets relevance; spaces designed to feel as effortless as they are enduring.
