craft_one | Limited-Time "CRAFT REAL: We like Grcic!" Exhibition


A unique, tangible world only craft_one can create


Presenting "CRAFT REAL: We like Grcic!"


Opened in 2000 as "craft," craft_one is now an online shop. While many voices have expressed a strong desire for its return as a physical store, thanks to its genre-defying selections and beautiful presentations, a temporary real shop will open within "Elephant*" in Omotesando, Tokyo.

Featuring Konstantin Grcic. Select items will be available for purchase.


As the subtitle "We like Grcic!" suggests, this exhibition focuses on Konstantin Grcic, one of the designers craft_one champions. Through styling centered on Grcic's items and a unique interpretation, the exhibition conveys his appeal while projecting craft_one's worldview throughout the space.

During the exhibition, select products designed by Konstantin Grcic, books about him, and items from designers closely associated with him (such as Jasper Morrison and Stefan Diez) will be available for purchase. Some of these are already difficult to obtain, offering a chance to experience his creativity in a way not possible at a typical interior design shop. This limited-time shop is only open for ten days – why not pay it a visit?

Konstantin Grcic
Born in Germany in 1965. After studying at the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London and elsewhere, he established his own design firm in 1991. He has released products for numerous brands, including Moroso, Flos, Magis, Classicon, Vitra, Established & Sons, and MUJI. In 2010, he received the Designer of the Year award at Design Miami. His approach, which explores the possibilities of materials, structures, and technologies through a physical engagement, and his commitment to innovation in function and design are highly regarded.
