Konstantin Grcic
A project originating in the encounter between Vittorio Alpi and the German designer Konstantin Grcic, whose in-depth knowledge of wood facilitated his exploration of new directions with ALPI, opening wide the horizons of research. Previously unseen decorative interpretations are substantiated in the new veneers Arcobaleno, Raggiosole and Tramonto. These two new types of wood show the result of a lengthy process of research and development regarding colour, one of the cultural mainstays at ALPI. Grcic experimented for many months with the R&D department, focusing on the possibility to gradually blend one colour into another and alternate them in a programmed sequence.
