Oi Lamp €2.500,00

Jan Garncarek — Available through The Orb

This piece is a study in minimalist tension, balancing essence and emptiness—the very core of the design with the space around it.

Its character comes from a precisely measured gesture that eschews all unnecessary ornament. The structure is a meeting of two fundamental geometries: the line and the point.

  • The sphere (point) is a recurring motif in the creator's work, providing a visual anchor and a moment of harmony.

  • The line elegantly conceals the light source, giving the lamp its subtle distinction. Its cylindrical form is key, as it gently diffuses the light rather than blocking it sharply, adding a soft, ephemeral quality.

Essentially, the design strips away the superfluous, leaving a delicate interplay of light, form, and space.

Jan Garncarek, An Artists' Search for Liberation in Structural Design

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.
