The challenge: translating a strong product vision into a differentiating design
Paloma is an ambitious new brand of padel rackets, designed to establish itself as a reference from its launch. With a clear and demanding vision, the founder wanted to design a product with a strong identity, both aesthetic and technical.
But after several months of collaboration with freelancers, the observation is clear: no design really meets his expectations. The proposals are bland, poorly executed, or too close to what already exists on the market.
Another major challenge: before even thinking about branding or marketing, we had to Fully model the racket, in its forms, patterns, textures, to be able to communicate effectively with factories about production possibilities.
It is in this context that he calls on Design Elite, with a double objective: create a striking design and design a unique and industrializable product.

Our mission: to create a strong design and a racket that is recognizable among all
We have launched a rapid, creative and structured approach.
In just 3 rounds, we delivered over 50 design proposals, playing with shapes, patterns, contrasts and color palettes.
Each version pushed a different axis: sometimes radical, sometimes more sober, always centered on the idea of performance.
Once the design was validated, we modelled The Paloma racket from zero, based on the client's brief: a form aggressive, powerful, almost demonic, able to stand out visually on a court.
We delivered several modelled versions of the product to allow the customer to discuss with their factory and validate the final version.
