Richard de Lancey

I am a product design engineer and entrepreneur from Bristol, UK. I currently reside in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where I head up the design department at Royal Selangor International.

Quick Bio.

After graduating with a BEng in Product Design Engineering from Loughborough University, I co-founded a tech company called nu desine which took a student invention from concept through to an international market. Those four years were a crash course in running a business, managing a team, and commercial product development.

I then moved to Malaysia on a whim and started DELCO, a product design consultancy. I grew this from a one man operation to a team of six people. Over four years I worked on 50 projects helping entrepreneurs, startups and small businesses go from concept, to prototype, to factory.

I am now the head of the design department at Royal Selangor, the leading international brand for luxury pewter goods. Here I create and oversee the design and development of 150+ products a year. DELCO has become my side business producing high-end furniture from recycled plastic waste.
