The Molecule Sconce draws from the hidden logic of biological systems, where simple elements repeat, combine, and multiply to produce structures of extraordinary complexity. Composed of aged brass spheres of varying scale connected into a single vertical composition, the piece captures the visual language of cellular formation, as if caught mid-process, continuously becoming

The design is rooted in Garncarek’s fascination with the sphere as a fundamental unit of form. Here that unit is not singular but proliferating, each sphere relating to the next through proportion and connection, producing a structure that feels both scientifically precise and organically alive. The composition carries an inherent tension between control and growth, between the rigor of geometry and the unpredictability of nature

The aged brass finish deepens this quality, its darkened, layered surface giving each sphere a density and gravitas that pure metal alone could not achieve. At the center of the composition, a frosted glass sphere softens the structure, diffusing light with an atmospheric quietness that contrasts the solidity surrounding it and draws the eye inward

Handcrafted in Poland and produced in a numbered edition, the Molecule Sconce is an object that operates at the boundary between the scientific and the sculptural, where material intelligence and formal invention give rise to something that feels at once elemental and entirely singular

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
