气泡桌
BLOW Table
2010
这件名为“气泡桌”的作品从物理层面探索了吹制玻璃的极限。桌子的主体构思是一个自由形状的气泡,并在其顶部附上一块手工制作的玻璃平板。这件作品的震撼效果,在于超大型的吹制玻璃同经典的半透明Venini宝石蓝之间绝妙的搭配和组合。
BLOW Table explores the limitations of glassblowing on a physical level. The conceptual design for the table comes from the free shape of a bubble. Placed across the top of the piece is a flat sheet of glass. What is shocking about it is the way that the large piece of blown glass and the classic translucent Venini blue are perfectly integrated.

Konstantin Grcic从人体角度定义了功能说,既结合了敏锐的想法和幽默感,同时又不失庄重。他的每一件作品都因结合了对设计和建筑方面深入研究和他对于科技和材质的热情而极具个人风格。他以对作品的简化而著称,因此总是被称为极简主义者,但其实他只是一个倾向于简单的设计师。
Konstantin Grcic was trained as a cabinet maker before studying design at the Royal College of Art in London. 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. Many of his products have received international design awards, and work by Konstantin Grcic forms part of the permanent collections of some of the world’s most important design museums. Meanwhile, Konstantin Grcic has curated a number of significant design exhibitions.
Konstantin Grcic defines function in human terms, combining formal strictness with considerable mental acuity and humour. Each of his products is characterised by careful research in the history of design and architecture and his passion for technology and materials. Known for pared-down pieces, Grcic is often called a minimalist but the designer prefers to speak of simplicity.
