As a child, Konstantin Grcic (born in Munich in 1965) loved building things. After high school, he began working for an antique furniture restorer, "because I wanted to learn how to make things properly," he recalls. That led to an apprenticeship with a cabinetmaker, where he discovered something he liked even better than building: designing. He then went to the Royal College of Art in London, where he found his true passion: designing furniture.

Since setting up his own practice, Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design (KGID) in Munich in 1991, he has developed furniture, products and lighting for some of the leading companies in the design field.
His work is known for its logical thought process, honesty of materials and respect for production methods.

Konstantin Grcic defines function in human terms, combining formal strictness with considerable mental acuity and humour. Each of his products is characterized by a careful research into the history of design and architecture and his passion for technology and materials.

Grcic feels very fortunate to be doing something he loves so passionately and hopes young designers starting out feel the same way. "Some people today think design is all about having fun, but that's not true," he states. "It's hard work, serious work. You have to think not only about the object you're designing, but everything else about it, from how it will be produced to who will be using it, to what happens to it after it goes through its life cycle. So designing is big responsibility. And I believe you can only do it well if you truly enjoy it."

The Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) appointed Konstantin Grcic "Royal Designer for Industry" and Design Miami awarded him the title "2010 Designer of the Year". Many of Konstantin Grcic´s products have received international design awards (a.o. winner of the Compasso d'Oro for the lamp MAYDAY for Flos in 2001 and the MYTO chair for Plank in 2011) and form part of the permanent collections of the world´s most prestigious museums (MoMA / New York, Centre Georges Pompidou / Paris, Die Neue Sammlung / Munich amongst others).

The ClassiCon brand stands for quality, individuality and a timeless aesthetic - regardless of passing fashions. More important than the degree of fame achieved by the designer is a demonstrated fascination with new formal concepts. This focus helps ClassiCon to continually discover exciting young designers.

In the early 1970s, Eileen Gray began to collaborate with Zeev Aram to develop her furniture and lamps for series production. In 1973 she signed a worldwide contract with Aram Designs, London, to bring her designs into production for the first time. ClassiCon produces and sells the Eileen Gray Collection as worldwide licensee of Aram Designs Ltd, London.

Each individual piece in the collection is indelibly marked and numbered consecutively.

The ClassiCon signature provides a guarantee that only high-grade materials and methods are used in production - meeting all ecological requirements - and that every piece of furniture has passed strict quality control. ClassiCon's logo offers the assurance that each limited edition is an authentic replica of the original, made with the consent of the rights holders.
