experimentation with materials, and
for proactively involving the user

technical or production aspects. The

Konstantin Grcic (1965) trained as a
cabinet maker at the John Makepeace
School (Dorset, England) and studied
Design at the Royal College of Art in
London. Konstantin Grcic defines
function in human terms, combining
formal strictness with considerable
mental acuity and humour. Each of
his products is characterized by a
careful research into the history of
design and architecture and his passion
for technology and materials. Known
for pared-down pieces, Grcic is often
called a minimalist but the designer
himself prefers to speak of simplicity.
