The Metropolis Sconce by Jan Garncarek translates the sculptural language of the Metropolis series into a more intimate architectural gesture. Mounted on the wall, the work shapes light with restraint and intention, casting dramatic shadows that give depth and rhythm to its surroundings

The design continues Garncarek’s exploration of shield-like forms and industrial machine geometry, where rounded, spun elements emerge from flat planes with quiet authority. Light emanates from within the brass body, reflecting across the plate and sphere to produce a warm, contained glow that feels both protective and ceremonial

Entirely handcrafted in Poland from solid brass, the sconce is rooted in Garncarek’s fascination with metallurgy and the transformation of flat, malleable material into structured, spherical form. Through traditional techniques such as metal spinning, brass gains strength, density, and architectural clarity. This process-driven approach gives the object its gravity, allowing material intelligence to define both form and atmosphere

The Metropolis Sconce is available in a range of finishes that retain its essential character: a quietly powerful object shaped by force and refinement where material, light, and shadow converge

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
