Amsterdam-based design studio Thonik was founded by Nikki Gonnissen and Thomas Widdershoven in 1993. It specialises in graphic, interaction and motion design. At the moment Thonik is a group of 15 people. They believe that what sets it apart is the clarity of its designs coupled with a focus on content. The firm unites a conceptual design mentality with an emphasis on typography. And it has gradually introduced this graphic language and method into multimedia campaigns for major clients.
