Paolo Martin's career began in the 1960s at the Giovanni Michelotti studio and later at Bertone. But it is with the step in Pininfarina that the definitive consecration takes place, automotive company where Martin becomes head of design, designing masterpieces such as the spectacular Ferrari Modulo concept car 512. After years of experience and awards, the designer passes to the free profession.

Martin has his own design philosophy centered on matter and the sinuosity of forms. It concept car design it then comes to life, becoming a work of art. Whether you're talking about a car, a boat or any other object, the important thing is always to satisfy a real need.
