Paolo Velcich

industrial & yacht designer

I am an Italian Industrial and Yacht Designer with over four decades of experience shaping products that have garnered prestigious international design awards and stood the test of time. Born in Sardinia, raised in Venice, and shaped in Udine, my journey as a true citizen of the world has taken me across the globe since 2009—from the vibrant markets of Dubai to the vast landscapes of Africa, the dynamic industries of China, and the innovative hubs of the United States.
Today, I am based in Shenzhen, China, at the epicenter of manufacturing innovation, where my deep love for nature, drives me to design consumer products, homeware and even leisure unique pieces through modern, minimalist design, crafted solely from natural and renewable materials.
With a foundation in Architecture and Communication Arts, as a dropout from the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Venice, I immersed myself in diverse design fields—from toys to furniture and interior design.

More than forty years of design practice, recognized internationally for innovation, quality, and enduring commercial value.

An early adopter of personal computing and CAD, I began working with 3D surfacing on high‑end Computervision and Intergraph workstations in the late 1980s and early 1990s, at a time when digital tools were just entering the design studio.
My core expertise lies in Design for manufacturing, with a focus on thermoplastics and advanced composite structures for aerospace, marine, and high‑performance products, where weight, durability, and process efficiency are critical to competitiveness. 
What I value most is the longevity of my work: products and systems that remain fresh, relevant, and commercially competitive for a decade or more, strengthening brands and delivering superior return on investment in markets that typically cycle through designs much faster.
Over the years, this commitment to robust, durable design and disciplined industrial execution has been recognized with multiple international design awards, across sectors and geographies, confirming not only aesthetic quality but also long-term market and user impact.
