CC Design, the world-renowned design firm, is crafting a duvet for its valued superyacht clientele, billed as the world's most luxurious bespoke piece, with a price tag of up to €59,000. The luxury of this duvet comes from its unique eiderdown filling, which is derived from the softest and most precious pile on the duck's body.
According to Christophe Cotte, a master craftsman at CC Design, the price of this product is due to its luxurious eiderdown filling, as well as the softest fluff of eiderdown ducks. Each gram of down is more expensive than white truffles, seafood cream, saffron and the world's most expensive To'ak chocolate, selling for a whopping 15 euros per gram.
According to the company, down is the most insulating feather on the planet, and it gives ducks the ability to survive in the coldest climates on the planet. Female eider ducks pluck their feathers to line their nests to keep their eggs and young warm. On average, only 2 grams of down per eider duck can be produced per year, a rarity that makes down more valuable than gold, platinum and diamonds.

Each CC Design duvet contains 380 grams of this precious down per square meter. After studying at a prestigious upholstery school in France, Kurt mastered the skills of craftsmanship. "At CC Design, we have been supplying superyacht owners around the world with top-of-the-line luxury bedding for almost 20 years, and our customers expect a lot from the finest," he said. For these billionaires who own yachts, spending €37,698 on a bottle of whisky or €376,980 on diesel is nothing, so buying a duvet of this quality is undoubtedly a great value. ”
