Story

Kunst Design Studio is an award‑winning boutique practice based in Thessaloniki, founded in 2016 by Giannis Galanis. Specializing in branding, packaging design, and cultural projects, the studio draws inspiration from key modernist movements including the Swiss Style, Bauhaus, Constructivism, and Concrete Art, to craft visual identities that are both timeless and distinct.

Driven by strong conceptual thinking, thorough research, and refined design execution, Giannis and his team develop visual systems that go beyond aesthetics delivering strategic clarity, narrative depth, and lasting cultural value.

Kunst builds experiences and worlds not just brands.

Renowned for its minimalist elegance, experimental structure, and thoughtful visual storytelling, the studio has earned international recognition. It also contributes to the global design discourse through curatorial initiatives like Helveticaposter, a digital archive showcasing some of the most compelling works in contemporary graphic design worldwide.
