KONSTANTIN GRCIC - DESIGN IS WORK
With his studio “Atelier Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design”, Konstantin Grcic is at the forefront of product and furniture design. His clients list reads like a who’s who of international brands: Vitra, Magis, Iittalla, Krups, Lamy, Muji, Hugo Boss, Rado, Audi, among others. He is considered one of the most innovative and profound contemporary designers and thinkers worldwide.
Many of his designs are already in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York) and Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), such as his design icon “Chair_One”, or his lamp “Mayday”, a portable floor or suspended lamp made of plastic, reminiscent of the illumination devices found in an auto repair shop.
Grcic argues at a certain remove from such terms as aesthetics of form, or comfort, using such expressions as narration, context, surrounding space. His focus is on human beings and their environment; the things with which they surround themselves, and that surround them.
"Konstantin Grcic - Design is Work” provides clear insight into the world of design, as it guides the audience toward a more aware handling of the objects surrounding them.
