The Hasta Pendant Lamp marks the origin of Garncarek’s lighting practice, carrying with it a narrative that is both deeply personal and quietly archetypal. Conceived as Garncarek’s first lamp, Hasta draws from early memories and inherited symbols, translating them into a restrained, sculptural form

The design is rooted in white weapons—a traditional term for bladed arms such as swords, spears, and daggers—which populated Garncarek’s childhood home as objects of heritage, ritual, and symbolic vigilance. One particular episode became foundational: a childhood evening at his grandfather’s house, interrupted by a burglar alarm nearby. In response, Garncarek’s grandfather took up a sword and stepped out to confront the unknown. Though nothing came of the encounter, the image lingered: a gesture of readiness, protection, and resolve

Hasta channels this memory into the abstracted form of a spear, one of humanity’s oldest symbols of defense. The lamp does not function as a weapon, nor does it suggest threat. Instead, it embodies the idea of preparedness and symbolic protection. Its elongated element is deliberately fixed, emphasizing presence over function and meaning over utility. The form stands upright and composed, less an instrument to be used than a sign to be read

Handcrafted in Poland, Hasta establishes many of the themes that have continued throughout Garncarek’s work: memory embedded in material, symbolism distilled into geometry, and objects that operate as emotional markers within space

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
