Verme Projects

Headquarters:
Lavagna
Founded:
1995

Verme Projects is made out of passion, they call it jokingly “holy fire”, for innovation and integrated design. It built its roots in the late 1990s, time in which design environment was turning towards super-specialization.

Thinking about those times, it’s clear to understand how they turned out to be the beginning of a radical change in the design approach. Those were years in which the automotive, for example, was losing its romantic features Forghieri-like, figures who in F1 were directly involved in aerodynamics, engine and chassis.

From that moment, design became more and more a field where technical detail dominated the scene and design started to divide itself necessary among dozens and dozens of engineers, each one focused on developing individual components. Constantly increasing performance and technology required many more heads and minds at work, but they also took away the magic halo that design had in the hands of a single engineer.

Multidisciplinary for an Integrated design

The nautical sector has followed this evolution in a longer time, keeping in some ways, a more classic approach. Verme Projects was born right in that time of transition, when it was still possible to think of a global project, where it was possible to put hands on anything from the hull to the structures up to the concept design. For Massimo Verme it was an overwhelming passion and an excellent gym to gain experience.

Those years lead to the belief that it could be able to face design with a global integrated approach, building step by step a team of professionals, who could deal, in the right way, the new technological challenges the market required. The central point of the project had to be faced by building a team based on multidisciplinary skills that collaborated and contaminated each other under the guidance of the team leader/project manager.

Massimo Verme’s challenge consisted in making the global design vision coexist with fragmentation necessary to pursue cutting edge technological levels. With Verme Projects he realized what he defines as integrated design, that is the best answer to the nautical world needs, the only way to reach the state of the art in the development of boats, combining technological innovation, experience and reliability. This is a synthesis, achievable only when the parts of the project merge perfectly.
