ES Libreria

Who said shelves shouldn't wobble!? Es is proud of its urge to move around, and still it works. Es is everything: clothes rack, key box, towel rack, wine store, file or book shelf, storage cabinet or newspaper stand — Es is simply wonderful! Es, for the joy of wobbling.

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. Known for pared-down pieces, Grcic is often called a minimalist but the designer himself prefers to speak of simplicity.
