Santi Lawrachawee’s works are rooted in his training as a designer and his experience as a design lecturer. In the realm of visual arts, he applies the grammar and media logic of graphic design to create interactive processes activating people, time ,and space. He prefers to work with media and methods he feels strongly connected to, including symbols, logos, maps, book,s and other published material. Co-founder of Practical Design Studio, his works are often explorations of the language systems of graphics and typography. Lawrachawee is known for his work as a book cover designer, including the Wisdom Series by Pinyo Traisuriyathamma which featured five books (2017), Musahi (2017), and a Thai release of Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse (2016)—all published by open books. Lawrachawee was awarded Designer of the Year in Graphic Design by Wallpaper* Magazine and the Department of International Trade Promotion, Ministry of Commerce.
