Dot.Marco Lavelli
Head Product Designer
Milan, ItalyI am a seasoned industrial Designer with twenty years’ work experience in important Italian companies. I have been working as industrial designer since I finish my University and two masters in Industrial design.
I have worked for several businesses and I am familiar with different design and manufacturing processes for different product development (i.e. toys, furniture, etc).
I think that prototyping phase is a key point for a product success. I am really interested in stereolithography and other prototyping techniques. I like working manually to immediately get a real perception of the product that I'm thinking of.
I am able to create physical models with several materials such as Clay or Polystirene.
Thanks to my experience, in my actual job as Head Product Designer for Poliform spa, I am managing full product cycle, from sketch to final assembly for different objects such as furniture, armchairs,chairs, sofa etc.
I am currently looking to export my knowledge and skill on a more international base and willing to join a challenging and dynamic working experience abroad.
