Konstantin Grcic was born in Munich, Germany in 1965. After training as a cabinet maker at Parnham College in England he studied design at the Royal College of Art in London from 1988-1990. Konstantin Grcic creates industrial products widely described as pared down, simple, minimalist. What sets him apart from the minimalism in fashionable currency today is that he defines function in human terms, combining maximum formal strictness with considerable mental acuity and humor.

I have purchased 6 of these lamps over the years. They are the most versatile, modern ,and minimal lamps I have purchase. I move them around and sometimes group a few of them together and sometimes use them individually. Easy to move to any location and looks great.
The May Day lamp has a nice glow and it beckons to be moved around from floor to take to a hook on the wall. The lamp is attractive from every angle. I do wish the materials were just a touch sturdier. The handle is made of thick polypropylene but the cone shade seems a bit lighter in gauge. Definitely a fun lamp but still has a bit of a plastic feel. Still, for the price and design aspect, I'd take the May Day Lamp over many other alternatives.
Simple elegant, purpose-driven design. Also, durable, versatile, and effective. I have two of these Mayday lamps, with high lumen LED bulbs, hanging from the rafters in a garden shed. They're beautiful.
