Personifying The Luxury Lifestyle, Mercedes-Maybach Cruises Beyond The Automotive World

Extravagantly epitomizing luxury, Mercedes-Maybach fashions a world for discerning patrons who see their vehicle not just as a product, but as an expression of their individual lifestyle.

Collaborating with Robbe & Berking, rebuilders of unique wooden sailing yachts, Mercedes have come out with exclusive accessories and lifestyle items from their Maybach Icons of Luxury division.

Also, showcased at the Robbe & Berking Classics shipyard, the craftsmanship between the pair can be seen reflected through the stylings of the two-tone paintwork on the elegant cars and yachts.

Mercedes-Benz AG’s head of marketing and sales for Mercedes-AMG GmbH Michael Knoeller commented, "Mercedes-Maybach embodies sophisticated luxury through its unique combination of passion and exquisite craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology. The result is a brand that stands for a truly holistic luxury experience, one that celebrates creativity and goes beyond the product itself thanks to its compelling opportunities for individualisation and timeless elegance in exclusive materials. The Mercedes-Maybach GLS embodies our aspirations and brings a clear enrichment in the luxury SUV segment. With the brand-new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, we are underpinning our unique lifestyle experience in ultimate luxury saloons."

The new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class offers balanced proportions and many exclusive details on the outside along with the ultimate in comfort for its occupants.

In their interiors, both Mercedes-Maybach models, the luxury SUV and the luxury saloon offer many features to ensure carefree traveling, even on long journeys.

Ranging from many individual accessories in addition to the standard amenities such as air-conditioned and heated seats in high-quality leather, intuitive ambient lighting and entertainment via the innovative MBUX multimedia system.

For instance, a refrigerated compartment for drinks and snacks is present in the rear. This is complemented by a set of two champagne goblets with Maybach logo on their bases that can be placed in the centre console.

Additional products from Robbe & Berking also stylishly complement the elegant appeal of the Mercedes-Maybach vehicles. 

Such as the silver-plated water, long-drink and whiskey tumblers from the Belvedere Bar Collection in which the high temperature conductivity of the silver allows the tumbler to take on the temperature of the drink giving it the feeling of coolness and freshness immediately.

Next is the Bar Trolley, which owes its unusual design to the dark thermo-ash hardwood that the boat builders at Robbe & Berking Classics shipyard have used to craft this decorative object.

As for the on-board entertainment, the Mercedes-Maybach models come with two screens in the rear that can each separately display a desired programme.

Complementing these are the Mercedes-Benz Bluetooth headphones. The elegant over-ear design delivers an excellent listening experience with maximum wireless wearing comfort.

Furthermore, thanks to Active Noise Cancellation technology (ANC), all unwanted background noise is blocked out and occupants can indulge in undisturbed listening pleasure.

Moreover, it features a 3D sound effect that ensures a rich and spatial sound, which brings out the tones particularly well when playing music. 

Apart from that, the integrated microphone allows occupants to make telephone calls in the best voice quality. 

It comes with soft, ergonomic pads made of artificial leather that encloses the ears, and for extra cushion, the headband is also padded. 

Finishing design of the exterior portrays a clear, sporty language and gleams with a piano-lacquer and chrome surrounds, additionally accentuated by matte contrasts in grained silicone.

Configuration wise, all the controls for the Mercedes-Benz headphones are located on the right ear cup.

On the side there are three small buttons with the functions On/Off, ANC and 3D sound. Music playback and call control are via an integrated touchpad that responds to tapping and swiping gestures.

Aforementioned, the Maybach Icons of Luxury complements the brand’s cars with a range of high-quality accessories for an all-encompassing lifestyle experience.

An example of this is the Maybach Eyewear sunglasses ‘The King’, which features temples with fine precious wood or genuine natural horn designs inspired by the dynamic lines of the vehicle’s centre console.

Its intricate top-bar of the frame with floating lens construction comes with elegant Maybach embossing, while miniature double-M logos adorn the screw heads.

Second example is the rimless prescription glasses ‘The Artist III’, which comes with trendy new temple colours.

Featuring temples with clean lines and end pieces in precious plated titanium, it forms an exciting contrast to the handcrafted wooden temples that have exquisite Maybach logos.

Similarly, the Maybach Eyewear model ‘The Refined I’ exudes a striking elegance. Made of genuine natural horn, this frame expresses a clear design idiom that portrays a unique look of the natural material, which is further enhanced by the embossed titanium temples with Maybach logo.

Fourth is the Maybach document bag ‘The Adviser I’, which has been finished with pleasantly soft, natural-grain cowhide leather in sporty, elegant blue.

It can be seen in a layout with a front zipped compartment and two divided main compartment that is accompanied by the Maybach logo, which is displayed as a discreet metal emblem on the front.

Then comes the Maybach business bag ‘The Scope I’ and the Maybach weekend bag ‘The Venture I’, which are a perfect duo for short trips.

They combine the touch and feel of original Maybach vehicle leather with the lightness and durability of high-quality nylon.

Aside from featuring a visually sporty and elegant contrasting look, the layout inside of the bags are practical with external pockets and many functional details.

Up next is the Maybach cashmere-silk scarf ‘The Yearning I’. It comes in blue and catches the eye with a very attractive pattern, which was cleverly developed from the Maybach double-M logo. 

Said scarf is handmade from 70 percent cashmere and 30 percent silk using traditional weaving techniques and promises a particularly comfortable wearing experience.

Sporty but at the same time a fashionable all-rounder is the Maybach braided belt ‘The Accent I’, which comes in blue with leather details and contrasting colour stripes.

The braid is elastic and can be adjusted to any size to ensure comfort, especially important on long car journeys. 

Complementing it are the classic polo shirts with Maybach emblem on the button placket, the short-sleeved polo shirt ‘The Pioneer II’ and the long-sleeved polo shirt ‘The Trailblazer I’.

Offered in dark blue and are made from high-quality, long-staple cotton combined with an element of Lycra for optimum fit and flexibility. 

Inside of the collar and the button placket are lined with contrasting fabric featuring the Fleur-de-Maybach pattern.

Perfect for the cold weather is the Maybach lambskin jacket ‘The Independent I’. The pilot-style jacket with high-closing collar is made of high-quality lambskin and offers a very special touch thanks to the elaborate napped surface treatment.

Details such as the ring for sunglasses on the left chest, the triangular buckle on the collar and the palladium-plated Maybach logo at the back of the neck make it an original with strong character. 

Conversely, for warmer days, the ‘The Expedition II’ transitional jacket is the perfect partner. The lightweight, windproof and water-repellent outer material is hard-wearing and looks classy due to the discreet quilting.

Likewise, the jacket comes with three zipped pockets lined with soft fleece for maximum comfort, and a ring for sunglasses. The Maybach logo features at the back of the neck of this piece as well.

The objective of turning this exclusive feeling into a lifestyle experience in as many areas of life as possible is what drives us at Maybach Icons of Luxury.
