Konstantin Grcic was born in 1965 in Munich, Germany. He first studied cabinetmaking in Dorset, England and then moved to the Royal College of Art to study furniture design. He returned to Germany to open his own design studio and has become known as a world class young German designer.
Although his designs seem Minimalist at first glance they actually contain a pleasing restraint that is still conceptually complex and reflect logic and intellectual rigor. He has created drinking glasses, rubbish bins, a portable, multi-purpose May Day lamp, and a Coup tableware series that combined porcelain and metal for the first time. He has worked with many different famous clients such as Agape, Driade, Flos and more.
He preferred complex projects to straightforward tasks and enjoyed experimenting boldly with materials and expressing his individuality.
