Va Bene Cosi bowl was created by designer Konstantin Grcic for Serafino Zani, a brand renowned for its steel work combined with innovative production techniques. Focused on the smallest of details, the Zani family applies its craftsmanship to the design of beautiful, high-quality objects. Konstantin Grcic makes everyday accessories and kitchen utensils in an unusual form. Va Bene Cosi bowl is both minimalist in form and refined in detail. The designer used state of the art laser techniques to cut extremely thin and even strips out of the entire surface. Made of stainless steel, the design plays on solids and voids, reflections and shadows, creating a highly refined bowl to be placed on a kitchen or dining room table.
Born in Munich, Germany, in 1965, Konstantin Grcic trained as a cabinetmaker at Parnham College, Dorset, before studying industrial design at the Royal College of Art in London. From 1990 to 1991 he worked in Jasper Morrison's studio in London. In 1991, he set up his own structure in Munich, "Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design", which served as both his workshop and studio. Since then, he has been designing furniture, objects and lamps for renowned manufacturers such as Magis and Flos. An adept of a functionalism that is "contemporary, feasible and concrete", his creations are not simply minimalist, but radical, pure, direct and simple, while never repeating themselves. With the publisher Plank, Konstantin Grcic is experimenting with cantilever seating and has created Miura, a stackable bar stool with sharp lines.
