“Simplicity is perhaps my motivation in a process of understanding something, my approach is analytical, I’m quite rational and I can’t change it. Simplicity is a way of getting to the bone of something, to the root.”

The Royal Society for the Arts appointed Konstantin Grcic Royal Designer for Industry in 2009, while Design Miami awarded him Designer of the Year in 2010. A comprehensive monograph of his work was published by Phaidon Press, London (2005).
