Konstantin GRCIC

Rigueur, élégance, innovation, simplicité... Les créations de Konstantin Grcic ont les traits d'un caractère aigu, parfois violent, qui les distinguent de toutes les autres. Sa Chair_ONE, une assise d'aluminium évidée, est déjà entrée au panthéon des chaises emblématiques de l'histoire du mobilier. Repère incontestable de l'esthétique des années 2000, elle est aussi le reflet d'une démarche volontiers radicale. Projet après projet, Konstantin Grcic construit l'un des parcours les plus cohérents du design contemporain. Dans cet entretien avec Pierre Doze, il revient sur sa formation initiale d'ébéniste, son enfance, la genèse de ses principales réalisations, ses toutes premières éditions... Et, tandis que la notion de design se fait de plus en plus impalpable, il affirme, ici, avec force et engagement, son attachement au processus industriel. Aux origines même de la discipline.

Rigour, elegance, innovation, simplicity... Konstantin Grcic's creations are of an acute, sometimes violent, nature that distinguishes them from all the rest. His Chair_ONE, the aluminium seating framework, has already entered the pantheon of emblematic chairs in the history of furniture. It is an indisputable milestone in the aesthetics of the 2000 decade, as well as the reflection of a deliberately radical initiative. Project after project, Konstantin Grcic constructs one of the most consistent paths through contemporary design. In this interview with Pierre Doze, he discusses his original training as a cabinet-maker, his childhood, what lies behind his most important achievements and his very first designs. And since the concept of design is becoming ever more impalpable, he asserts here, forcefully and with commitment, his attachment to the industrial process that is at the very root of the discipline.
