The PFAFFIKON Wall Lamp marks a pivotal moment in Jan Garncarek’s practice as his first lighting work conceived in stone. Compact yet architectural, the lamp reflects Garncarek’s ongoing interest in material presence, restraint, and forms shaped by time rather than trend

The work takes its name from Pfäffikon, Switzerland, where its earliest sketches were drawn during a journey through the alpine landscape. Situated between lake and mountain, Pfäffikon is defined by a quiet discipline and an understated modernity, where architecture favors clarity, proportion, and durability over display. That context informs the lamp’s calm authority: like mountain architecture, the form feels rooted and resolved, guided by gravity, proportion, and necessity rather than ornament

The lamp is structured around a precise dialogue between stone and metal. A cylindrical marble element anchors the piece against the wall, asserting weight and permanence, while a brass semi-sphere projects outward, shaping and directing the light. The geometry is deliberately reduced, allowing material and proportion to take precedence. Rather than relying on excess layering or decoration, the lamp produces a controlled, atmospheric glow through placement, balance, and mass

Handcrafted in Poland, the Pfaffikon Wall Lamp is defined by a tension between minimalist geometry and material depth. The form is simple and restrained, yet the materials carry texture, patina, and geological memory. In this meeting of stone, metal, and light, the lamp offers a quiet respite, suspending time and refreshing the soul Like the majestic mountains that inspired it

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
