A study in understated grace and glamour, the AURATA Pendant by Jan Garncarek is an object of quiet elegance that reveals its complexity through attention and proximity. The name Aurata, drawn from the Latin for “gilded,” reflects the pendant’s quiet radiance and Garncarek’s genius in transforming humble geometries into luminous spectacle

Rooted in the simplest graphic language of a line and a dot, the design evolves into a composed constellation of four lampshades. Reduced to elementary geometric volumes, the form demonstrates how simplicity, when executed in exquisite materials and with fine craftsmanship, can become an evocative and sensuous sculpture

Behind Aurata’s restrained exterior lies a richly articulated interior world. The handcrafted brass structure houses an integrated LED system whose hidden complexity introduces a subtle tension between outer calm and inner richness, between what is seen and what is sensed. Light emerges evenly and softly, activating the form without overpowering it, and lending the pendant an atmosphere that feels ingeniously composed yet utterly human

Handcrafted in Poland, the AURATA Pendant reflects Garncarek’s ability to reconcile minimal form with material richness. With an understated glamour, it is a functional sculpture that feels at once architectural, tactile, and quietly expressive

BIOGRAPHY

Jan Garncarek

Born Warsaw, Poland, 1988

A Polish designer working in the field of collectible design, Garncarek creates extraordinary objects that occupy a measured space between sculpture and function. His practice is defined by a distinctive visual language that combines monumental, organic forms with precise, controlled detailing, producing works that feel at once expressive and disciplined

At the core of Garncarek’s work is a deep sensitivity to craft, memory, and place. Shaped by family tradition and the architectural legacy of pre-war Warsaw, his designs carry a quiet sense of permanence, as though they belong to a longer continuum of making. Influenced by his grandfather, a designer of traditional small goods, Garncarek approaches design as a conceptual and reflective process, one in which material, form, and cultural inheritance are held in careful balance. His objects often feel grounded and tactile, evoking archetypal presences while remaining unmistakably contemporary

Each work is handcrafted in close collaboration with specialized artisans and produced in short, numbered editions. This deliberate mode of production allows Garncarek to preserve formal clarity and material integrity, while reinforcing the individuality of each object. The resulting works resist excess, favoring restraint, weight, and proportion, qualities that situate them firmly within the realm of collectible design

Garncarek earned his MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and studied at the Politecnico di Milano, experiences that sharpened his engagement with both conceptual rigor and material experimentation. Since 2024, he has also served as a research fellow at the Institute of Design in Warsaw, further anchoring his work in critical and academic inquiry. His work has been presented in leading collectible design galleries and exhibitions across Europe and the United States, as well as at major international design events such as Milan Design Week, Paris Design Week, and Art Basel. In 2024 and 2025, he was named an AD100 laureate, marking his growing influence within the global landscape of collectible design
