Konstantin Grcic: Decisive Design Opens at the Art Institute this Week
Nov 17, 2009
Made possible through a grant from the Graham Foundation, Konstantin Grcic: Decisive Design opens at the Art Institute of Chicago this Friday, Novemeber 20 and will be on view through January 24, 2010.
This significant exhibition is the first in America to explore the work produced by German designer Konstantin Grcic, one of the most important industrial designers working today. Grcic is known for his logical designs, driven by an honesty of materials and an appropriateness of production methods, yet injected with an inventiveness and originality that set his work apart. Although his production continues to be characterized by simple and distinctive design solutions, Grcic has more recently harnessed an interest in new technologies and materials research—a shift in practice that has afforded him a progressively ambitious portfolio of furniture and product designs that are transforming the landscape of contemporary design.
