On September 5 there will be a seminar on the topic ‘service design’ in Bangkok, with speakers from the Oslo School of Architecture.
The focus of design has increasingly shifted from “product” to “service”.
“Service Design” not only helps businesses meeting the complex needs of modern consumers and creating better impact, it also improves the quality of life in global community.

They will share how service design will become a new channel to develop Thai design to boost business as well as quality of life.
