The Allstar chair defies conventional categorisations: is it a chair for office
workplaces or the home office? What period is it from? Does it offer any
functional features? What is it made of? In developing Allstar, Konstantin
Grcic kept such formulations open in order to create a relaxed, home-like
ambience for workers in office settings. Allstar’s appealing design is
emblematic and familiar, inspiring a sense of dependability and trust. Its
casual ease and comfort has a calming influence and de-accelerates the
fast-paced dynamic of today’s offices.
Konstantin Grcic was trained as a cabinetmaker
at Parnham College in Dorset before studying
industrial design at the Royal College of Art in
London. In 1991 he set up his own practice,
Konstantin Grcic Design.
