Timeline

1965

Konstantin Grcic (, Константин Грчић), born 1965, is a German industrial designer known for his design of furniture and household products, some of which have been featured in design shows and museums.

His design language is characterized by the use of geometric shapes and unexpected angles.

Grcic was born in Munich, Germany, in 1965, to a Serbian father and German mother, and grew up in Wuppertal.

1980

Grcic worked with British designer Jasper Morrison in the late 1980s until 1990, when he began designing furniture for SCP, one of London's largest design stores.

He credits his time in London for helping develop his individual style, describing his time in England as "stirring his creative potential."

1985

Grcic studied cabinetry making in the Arts and Crafts tradition at the John Makepeace School for Craftsmen in Wood in Parnham House, Beaminster, Dorset, starting in 1985.

1988

in 1988, he began his graduate studies in Industrial Design at London's Royal College of Art.

1991

In 1991, Grcic founded his studio, "Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design" (KGID), in Munich, Germany.

Working with a staff of five, he creates "pieces that have been described as both revolutionary and intelligent."

According to the New York Times, he has a "rigorous focus on logic, utility and simplicity."

Grcic is known for having a spartan and functional approach to design, relying on geometric forms, unusual angles and hard edges.

He has created installations and developed products such as furniture, lighting, watches, tableware, espresso makers, and umbrellas.

1995

Grcic became recognized for his 1995 Refolo trolley, 1997 Wanda dish rack, 1998 award-winning Mayday lamp, 1999 ES shelf and 2001 Chaos chair.

2001

In 2001, Grcic received a "Compasso d’Oro" award for his Mayday lamp.

2004

His 2004 Chair_One and 2006 Miura stool are both described as being comfortable to sit on, despite their oddly shaped compositions.

Grcic has a philosophical approach to design, especially when it comes to seating products, his favourite objects to tackle, "Designing chairs touches issues of society, how we live...How life changes - that’s most interesting."

He has used cutting edge technology, such as high-tech ceramics and 3D modeling software, to create his mass-produced items.

2005

In 2005, London's Phaidon Press published the first book examining Grcic's body of work.

Other publications include monographs accompanying his museum exhibitions.

He is also the subject of various design books like "How to Design a Chair", as well as "Chroma: Design, Architecture and Art in Color" where he mentions how the Lego color palette has inspired him.

2008

Advanced engineering plastics were the basis of his award-winning Myto Chair, launched at the Milan Furniture Fair in 2008.

Grcic also relies on low-tech solutions to advance the design process, manually creating and deconstructing rough paper models.

An engineering-oriented approach and extensive research make up his methodology; this has been attributed to his German upbringing.

His furniture and lighting designs, including his OK pendant light and Noctambule lighting, pay testimony to his signature ability to thread the needle between restraint and playfulness.

2009

He selected products with a practical function, from well known and lesser known designers, which reflected the first ten years of the millennium.

2010

In 2010, he curated two shows, one for France's "St. Etienne Design Biennale" and the other for the Istituto Svizzero (Swiss Institute) in Rome.

Grcic has also participated in design initiatives happening in Belgrade, Serbia, such as speaking at "Belgrade Design Week" or sitting on the juries of the "Mikser Festival" and the "University of Arts in Belgrade" final year competition.

Concerning the burgeoning design scene in Serbia's capital city, Grcic has said,"I was not sure what to expect but I encountered a fantastic atmosphere and amazing people."
