Restaurant Design Workshop with MasterChef Thailand Runner-Up
In May 2023, Raffles International College Bangkok welcomed special guest Mr. Bradley Chuensomsong, the founder of DESIGN QI, who famously participated in MasterChef Thailand Season 5. He led a restaurant design workshop created for interior design students by interior design lecturer Wynn Arunrugstichai.
In this workshop, students designed a restaurant that served food they enjoyed. They presented realistic concepts with which they could market their restaurant to real customers. Mr. Chuensomsong served as a guest judge. All the students enjoyed the chance to create something interesting and personal for them. It also gave them an opportunity to understand how to run a real business.
Bringing imagination and creativity into business is essential. To create a successful plan, students needed to use their imagination to design something suited to their target group of customers. This was an extremely beneficial exercise for interior design students, who will be doing exactly this in their future careers.
After presenting their designs, they received useful comments from Mr. Bradley based on his experience in interior design and fine dining. Moreover, they enjoyed themselves and gained a deeper understanding of design principles. We look forward to seeing their next projects.
