Gui Bonsiepe (born in Germany in 1934) is an industrial designer. He studied and later taught at the HfG (Hochschule für Gestaltung)in Ulm, Germany.

Bonsiepe's impact on Latin American design has been important. Introduced the idea of projecting design and information designand has published some books in Spanish. Their design ideas from the periphery have been very influential. Gui argues that the design must be done from the same countries in the context in which we live.

Bonsiepe asserts that there is a theory of design as such but a discourse of design. The design does not have a theoretical body of its own but borrows theories from other disciplines and adapted to the context of design. However, promotes the ripeness of the discipline that has a sustainable body of theory that elevates the design to the level of the social sciences, natural sciences and the arts.

Another key point of the writings of Bonsiepe is the interface. Bonsiepe now says that designers are obsessed with the object, when in fact the focus should be placed where the action, the user and the object are conjoined.

Bonsiepe has a strong influence on the design Latinoamericano. By closing its doors HfG, Bonsiepe emigrated to Chile to work on the International Labor Organization, under the auspices of Salvador Allende. After the coup of 1973, Bonsiepe emigrated to Argentina where he continues practicing industrial design within the institutional framework, and then in 1981 continued its work in Brazil. In 1987he moved to America, where incursions into the field of information design.

Bonsiepe works as a lecturer in the School of Industrial Design at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
