I am David Turpin, a French designer with more than twenty years of experience, my professional journey led me to spend a decade in Hong Kong, from 1996 to 2006. During this time, I worked three years for a watch manufacturer before founding my own company, Bleu Ltd, a design studio.
I possess expertise that spans the entire project lifecycle, from the early stage with initial sketches to the intricate phases of design development, 3D modeling, and renderings. My diverse portfolio showcases my proficiency in designing products across multiple sectors, ranging from consumer electronics and home accessories to mobile devices, connected gadgets, watches, and transportation innovations. Drawing from my extensive experience in Hong Kong, I also provide valuable assistance to companies in need of manufacturing solutions in Asia.
Projects for Kohler and Jacob Delafon, Fogazza Pavimenti, LAclave Spain, FLIT bike, LEGO Robotic, Jabra, Acoustic Research, Clim8, Native Union (contributing to the success of the POP Phone and the Moshi Moshi BT Curve handsets), Arwin Technology Ltd, Innovative Converged Devices, Milla Poignées, Gembah, Doganlar, PDC Europe Sleeving Systems, Naeo Aroma Ltd, etc.
For the past seven years, I work on an electric folding bike with FLIT bike, a Cambridge-based start-up. In this role, I collaborate closely with the engineers to ensure every detail and form is optimised for the manufacturing process, delivering a product that is both functionally efficient and aesthetically pleasing.
