Christian Grande has been running his Parma-based Design Works studio since 1992, handling projects in yachting, automotive, interior design and architecture. Grande began working on yacht design commissions for the Key Light 19 and 21 for Sessa Marine while still a student. Today, yachting accounts for 45% of his studio's order volume, including well-known names such as Sacs, Cranchi and Abarth. For Invictus and Capoforte, responsibility extends beyond design to overall concept and marketing. Christian Grande's multidisciplinary approach also allows him to successfully carry out larger projects, such as architectural commissions, which also account for 45% of sales. Christian Grande is married and father of two daughters and a son.
