Interview to Konstantin Grcic, South - Salone del Mobile 2023
Accuracy is the essence of Konstantin Grcic’s work, and his new collection, South, designed for outdoors but ideal for indoors too, is no different.
In cataphoresis-treated and powder-coated steel tube and rod, it is available in a range of colours: orange, bordeaux, light blue and night blue.
Sinuous yet minimal, the collection consists of an armchair, a low armchair, a bench and a low bench, all with armrests. It also includes four tables (200x120 cm with top in teak slats, 200x90, 160x90 and 90x90 cm with top in steel sheet) and two coffee tables (120x120 cm with top in either teak slats or in lava stone enamelled with recycled coloured glass and 90x90 cm with top in steel sheet). The collection also features woven mattings for the seats, carpets, baskets and a plaid, all in the same outdoor-friendly fabric.
As always, Konstantin Grcic combines formal rigour with a keen sense of design and architecture and demonstrates his passion for technology with careful research into materials and creative yet practical expertise.
The South collection’s curved and inviting lines make explicit its direct and unconventional invitation to relax, resulting in dynamic comfort. To make the seats even more comfortable, a full (seat and backrest) woven matting can be secured to the shell with Velcro, offering a chic and practical alternative to classic cushions.
