Jan Garncarek is a designer from Warsaw who makes objects that flirt with both art and craft. His studio lives in a 19th-century factory in Żyrardów, where pigeons once ruled and now sparks fly. He works with metal, textiles, and light — materials with weight and history, but always given a twist.

Every piece is handmade. No conveyor belts, no clones. Turned by a craftsman, polished by another, finished by Jan himself. The result: objects that feel alive, not manufactured. Lamps, tables, rugs, screens — each one its own character.

Jan doesn’t do rigid definitions. He likes freedom, experiment, detours. Design, for him, is closer to a conversation — between him and his partner Ewelina, between painting and structure, between durability and poetry.

The duo’s work is personal. Their first collaboration was a messy, hand-painted canvas — more memory than object — and today it’s screens, rugs, and lighting that carry the same spirit: playful, emotional, sometimes a little rebellious. For Jan, sustainability isn’t a buzzword but a responsibility: natural materials, no shortcuts, objects built to last almost forever. The studio is a laboratory, a playground, a place where objects earn their soul.
