A vision suspended between gravity and imagination, the DUNA Chandelier by Jan Garncarek draws inspiration from the surreal universe of Dune by Frank Herbert. The work evokes a world where scale is immense, physics feel altered, and monumental forms drift with silent purpose. Duna does not mimic science fiction, but it distills its atmosphere of vastness, tension, and quiet power into a luminous object

The chandelier takes the form of a floating capsule, at once massive and improbably weightless. Its brass structure encloses volumes of sandblasted, mouth-blown glass, producing a surface that diffuses light with a soft, atmospheric density. The object feels contained yet expansive, as though holding an interior world. Light emerges slowly, filtered and hushed, reinforcing the sensation of a machine hovering

At the heart of Duna is a dialogue between heaviness and motion. Brass asserts weight, structure, and permanence, while the glass introduces opacity, softness, and suspension. The tension between these elements creates a sense of latent movement, as if the chandelier might drift forward at any moment. This balance recalls imagined architectures of the future, machines designed not only to function, but to endure and inspire

The glass elements are produced using custom molds at the Krosno Glassworks, crafted by a dedicated team of six master glassmakers. This level of precision and collaboration anchors the work firmly in the realm of craft, counterbalancing its speculative and otherworldly presence. The result is an object where imagination is made tangible through labor, skill, and material intelligence

Handcrafted in Poland, the DUNA Chandelier stands as a meditation on humanity’s ability to give form to the unreal, transforming fantasy into structure, and vision into light

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
