Team for Design

What Team for Design does

Team for Design is a privately held, Venice-based creative design studio founded in 2005 by chief designer Enrico Gobbi, specializing in custom superyacht exterior and interior design plus luxury residential architecture. The firm operates a professional services model, generating revenue through design fees on bespoke projects spanning conceptual design, executive-phase drawings, and on-site project management during construction for vessels typically in the 40M-100M+ range.

The studio's core product surface consists of full-lifecycle yacht design services delivered to Italian and European shipyards, including Rossinavi, ISA Yachts, Oceanco, Tankoa, Turquoise, Baglietto, Mondomarine, and Dreamline, plus a secondary residential architecture line (Enrico Gobbi Architetto) covering villas and lofts in Italy, Slovenia, and Ibiza. Project engagement is direct and quote-based, with no public pricing or standard rate cards. The firm has accumulated multiple industry credentials including World Superyacht Awards (2014 and 2019), ShowBoats Design Awards, and World Yachts Trophies.

Go-to-market relies on presence at the major international yacht shows (Monaco Yacht Show, Cannes Yachting Festival, Fort Lauderdale), earned media in yacht trade publications, and direct relationships with shipyards and high-net-worth owners. The studio operates with 11-50 employees from its Mestre-Venice headquarters, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors.
