About

Yacht Design Collective is a French naval architecture and yacht design firm founded in 2015 by François Pérus and Romain Scolari, with offices in Paris and the Gulf of Morbihan.

Naval engineers graduated from ENSTA Bretagne and the National School of Architecture of Paris-La Villette, they have always shared the same passion for the sea, sailing, and the vessels that sail it. After building their respective careers in the yachting industry and naval architecture, they chose to combine their experience to create a studio where creativity is grounded in rigorous technical expertise.

The name Yacht Design Collective reflects this philosophy. Beyond the complementary skills of its founders, the firm views every project as a collective work. Depending on the ambitions of the program, Yacht Design Collective brings together a tailor-made design team, combining the most relevant skills: engineering, architecture, design, interior design, structural calculation, hydrodynamics, composite materials, and traditional craftsmanship. This approach allows a team suited to the scale of each project to be assembled every time.

One vision. One method. One achievement.

We conceive projects that combine architecture, engineering, and design in a constant quest for balance between elegance, performance, and functionality.

The firm supports both unique projects and industrial developments alike, with the same commitment to precision, elegance, and performance. From the first spark of intuition through to launch, Yacht Design Collective orchestrates the entire design process to bring to life yachts where innovation, quality of execution, and coherence of line become one.

Driven by a culture of detail and a constant pursuit of balance between aesthetics, functionality, and performance, the studio develops contemporary naval architecture, built to last and to meet the highest standards of international yachting.

For every project, we assemble a design team tailored to its ambitions. Because no yacht, no floating space, and no client are alike, we bring together the most relevant expertise around a shared vision.

And we support our clients from the first sketch through to launch or delivery, ensuring the project’s coherence at every stage of its development.
