CIDI Chanapatana was founded in 2000 by Luangphor Viriyang Sirintharo in collaboration with a leading Italian design school to elevate Thailand’s design capabilities through world-class, European-standard education brought directly to Thailand.

Over the years, the institute has expanded its programs, built global academic partnerships, and gained international recognition, including an Italian government honor awarded to its founder for outstanding academic and cultural cooperation.
