I can't help but think of trawling nets when I see Konstantin Grcic's 'Netscape.' Konstantin Grcic created 'Netscape' for Design Miami after being named its designer of the year.
'Netscape' was designed to promote social interaction and give visitors to Design Miami a novel place to sit. Konstantin Grcic's design is one that I hope to see expanded upon and possibly rolled out for public use. The nets of 'Netscape' look a lot more comfortable and inviting than the cold concrete benches in most public places.
