The Metropolis Pendant Lamp stands as a foundational work within Garncarek’s Metropolis collection. The pendant is defined by restraint and precision, where pure geometry, noble materials, and exacting craftsmanship converge to create a work that is both architectural and intimate. Equally at home in rustic or urban interiors, industrial spaces or refined settings, the pendant brings a quiet sense of order and radiance wherever it is placed

At the heart of the design is a precisely spun brass sphere, crafted using traditional metal-spinning techniques, paired with a flat brass plate positioned to receive and temper light. The dialogue between these two elements defines the lamp’s character. The sphere conceals the light source entirely, redirecting illumination onto the plate, where it is reflected and diffused with softness and control. Light becomes ambient rather than declarative, shaping space through glow rather than glare

The brass itself plays a crucial role. Hand-polished and subtly irregular, its surface carries an extraordinarily rich texture that deepens the lamp’s simple volumes. The result is an object that feels glamorous without ostentation and minimalist without austerity. Patina and precision coexist, lending warmth and depth to the geometry

Handcrafted in Poland entirely from solid brass, the pendant is produced using time-honored methods that allow craft and artistry to operate as one. The result is an object that carries both material intelligence and quiet refinement, bringing a sense of beauty, warmth, and sophistication to any 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
