ABOUT

Gminuscule is an independent studio founded in 2008 by Guillaume Beinat Prunet in Toulouse, France. Its thinking and practice are shaped by the needs of its clients and the specific requirements of each project. Working alone or in collaboration with freelance designers, the studio’s priority is to remain agile and highly responsive, whether on small-scale projects or on larger communication commissions. The studio’s experience ensures a pragmatic approach and a distinctive creative perspective, rich in references and deliberately removed from trend-driven or stereotypical solutions. As an artist and author, he works between Toulouse and Bordeaux across private sectors such as architecture, spirits, and construction, as well as within institutional (museums), cultural (galleries), and educational (art schools) contexts. His areas of expertise include visual identity, publishing, communication, brand environments, and wayfinding systems. In parallel, he exhibits his work in France and internationally.

TEACHING ACTIVITIES

For over 15 years, he has taught global design and screen printing at ECV Bordeaux, and has led lectures and workshops in various educational institutions, including Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès (Department of Fine Arts), DSAA Arènes, EFET Créa Paris, École de Condé Toulouse, e-artsup Toulouse, ISEG Bordeaux, and TLSE, among others.
