[10] Grcic studied cabinetry making in the Arts and Crafts tradition at the John Makepeace School for Craftsmen in Wood in Parnham House, Beaminster, Dorset, starting in 1985.

"[14] Grcic is known for having a spartan and functional approach to design, relying on geometric forms, unusual angles and hard edges.

[14][15] Grcic became recognized for his 1995 Refolo trolley, 1997 Wanda dish rack, 1998 award-winning Mayday lamp, 1999 ES shelf and 2001 Chaos chair.

[16][17][18] Grcic also relies on low-tech solutions to advance the design process, manually creating and deconstructing rough paper models.

"[13] In 2014, a Grcic exhibition of fictional products was showcased at the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany.

[17][22] His design pieces are also found in the permanent collections of the MoMA in New York City and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.

[42][43][44] Concerning the burgeoning design scene in Serbia's capital city, Grcic has said,"I was not sure what to expect but I encountered a fantastic atmosphere and amazing people.

"[43][45] The 2014 retrospective exhibition on Grcic's work, Panorama, held at the Vitra Design Museum, featured the installation Life Stage.

Life Stage was a fictitious product meant as a mobile power source made of the eco-friendly resin Acrodur.
