A quiet study in minimalist tension, the Oi Wall Lamp by Jan Garncarek explores the space between between presence and absence, form and void, what is revealed and what is withheld. Reduced to its most essential elements, Oi distills lighting to a single, deliberate gesture, demonstrating how restraint can heighten rather than diminish expression

The design brings together two fundamental geometries: the line and the point. A spherical element, a recurring motif in Garncarek’s practice, acts as a visual anchor, grounding the composition with weight and clarity. In contrast, the linear form extends with calm precision, discreetly concealing the light source. Even its title reads as a quiet notation, with Oi suggesting the dialogue between point and line, presence and extension, reduced to their most elemental signs

Light in Oi is not projected outward, but gently released. It diffuses softly from within the structure, producing an ephemeral glow that feels atmospheric rather than directive. Shadow and illumination coexist, allowing the surrounding space to remain calm and composed. The lamp does not announce itself loudly; instead, it rewards close attention, revealing nuance through proximity and time

Handcrafted in Poland in waxed brass, the lamp exudes warmth and depth despite its minimalist geometry. Its surface absorbs and reflects light with restraint, developing patina and character as it ages. With craftsmanship that is exacting yet understated, the Oi Wall lamp offers quiet authority and enduring character that feels fundamental and timeless

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
