Has it ever occurred to you that German designs are in fact more apparent in our life than we have imagined? Be it childhood stationery, daily wear, automobile, or fonts on the advertisement, movie posters or brand’s logo. Many of these are the products of various German designers.

Everyday German Design is a public talk series where we introduce you to three curated topics on common German designs. The talks are inspired by three non-fiction books packed with intriguing stories told by Santi Tonsukha, Thai graphic designer, visiting professor at CommDe Chula and co-founder of Witti Studio
