Konstantin Grcic

"Design is about solving problems."

Konstantin Grcic

The Vision

Konstantin Grcic defines function in human terms, combining formal strictness with considerable mental acuity and humor. His 'Mayday' lamp is a modern classic of utility—a tool to be hooked, carried, and used. Conversely, his 'Noctambule' series explores transparency, creating columns of glass that are invisible by day and magical pillars of light by night. He bridges the gap between the workshop and the art gallery.

The Collection (6 Items)

Black Flag

Konstantin Grcic

Black Flag

Wall/Ceiling

A sculpture that unfolds. Black Flag is an extensible wall light that acts like a functional piece of art. Closed, it is a graphic black line on the wall. Open, it extends deep into the room, delivering powerful illumination exactly where needed. Bold, rebellious, and functional.

Mayday

Konstantin Grcic

Mayday

Suspension

The ultimate utility light. Mayday is designed to be moved, hung, hooked, and carried. It is a celebration of the garage lamp, elevated to a design icon. With its integrated winder and hook, it asks to be used, not just admired.

Mayday Outdoor

Konstantin Grcic

Mayday Outdoor

Suspension

The utility light goes wild. Mayday Outdoor takes the iconic "hook-lamp" and weatherproofs it. Rugged, durable, and ready for anything, it can be hung from a tree branch, hooked onto a fence, or laid on the grass for an impromptu picnic.

Noctambule Floor

Konstantin Grcic

Noctambule Floor

Floor

A column of invisible light. Noctambule Floor stacks transparent glass modules to create a standing lantern. Invisible during the day, it becomes a glowing totem at night, floating in the room like a magical artifact.

Noctambule Suspension

Konstantin Grcic

Noctambule Suspension

Suspension

The night walker. By day, Noctambule is almost invisible—a transparent glass column. But at night, it comes alive. The LED rings between the glass modules ignite, transforming the structure into a pillar of light that seems to materialize out of thin air.

Ok

Konstantin Grcic

Ok

Suspension

A homage to an icon. Grcic reimagines the legendary Parentesi for the LED age. 'OK' retains the sliding functionality on a floor-to-ceiling cable but replaces the bulb with a flat, rotating disc of light. It is a modern, versatile tool for directing light exactly where it is needed.
