Exclusively for STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN, The CASTANEA Chandelier inhabits space as a sculptural meditation on growth, balance, and natural rhythm. Drawing inspiration from the branching structure of a tree, the work translates an organic logic into a refined architectural presence. Its brass frame extends outward in a measured, flowing cadence, each arm reaching with quiet intention, as though shaped by time rather than design

Despite its biomorphic roots, Castanea is defined by restraint and compositional clarity. The branching elements are carefully proportioned, maintaining equilibrium across the structure and allowing the form to remain poised rather than expressive. Around each opal glass shade, geometric brass details gather like eyelids or opening flower buds, gently framing the light. This subtle articulation reinforces the chandelier’s organic sensibility, giving the impression that the form is not assembled, but unfurling naturally from the ceiling into the space below

Light does not simply emit from Castanea, but animates it. Each illuminated element glows softly, creating a layered and atmospheric radiance that feels both warm and alive. The chandelier fills the room not only with light, but with a sense of buoyancy and movement, lending the space beneath it an unexpected vivacity and play

handcrafted in Poland, the CASTANEA Chandelier Balances nature and precision, transforming the intelligence of organic growth into a disciplined contemporary object. As light moves across the structure, surfaces shift between shadow and glow, enhancing the impression of a living form suspended in air

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
