Boundless Imagination

Anyone who calls themselves “DUCTSTORE the design guru” sets the bar high right from the start, and Nontawat Charoenchasri certainly has no lack of determination. He founded his agency in 2005 at the age of just 27, with “DUCTSTORE” summarising the basic philosophy: everything the office designs is seen as a product – from architecture and graphic design to installations. With this multidisciplinary approach, the aim is to push the boundaries of design and counteract the mainstream. In order to still convey expertise in (interior) architecture on the one hand and communication design on the other, “THE OTHERS” was founded as a second studio in 2016. A third business unit, “IAMEVERYTHING”, was launched shortly afterwards, emphasising Charoenchasri’s ambition to simply ignore trends: when global communication trends shifted towards digital, he launched a high-end print magazine that he distributed for free to Thailand’s top creatives, gaining numerous new clients in the process. Both his experience as creative director of Wallpaper Magazine (Thai edition) and his passion for outstanding design stood him in good stead in this endeavour. In the offices today, a 40-strong team realises strong concepts in 2D and 3D, as well as hybrid implementations that combine architecture and graphic design. And so, after many successful years, “the design guru” is proving to be something of a self-fulfilling prophecy …

Jorakay Pavilion 2024
Jorakay’s key visual, the green crocodile, served as the starting point for a grid system that is implemented in an abstract and three-dimensional manner with the architecture of the pavilion. The presentation of the products, the company and its history is done through storytelling on LED screens.

Jorakay Pavilion 2023
The primary objective of the pavilion design concept was to create a fresh and distinctive brand image for Jorakay. The exhibition space incorporates interesting architectural elements, with a design that was inspired by the back of a crocodile, with its ridges and bumps, otherwise known as “scutes”.

Krungthai Bank – Money Expo 2024
The Krungthai Bank Pavilion at MONEY EXPO 2024 was inspired by the wings of the bird of paradise, which can also be seen in the company’s logo. The exhibition area was designed as an open space, making it easily accessible from all sides. The eye-catching design gives the bank an image of modernity and openness.

Collective by Cloud 11
As the first Thai festival for creative minds, Collective by Cloud 11 was an extraordinary experience that combined innovative ideas and advanced technology. Highlights included an immersive art exhibition, a light installation, an audiovisual installation and interactive generative art.
