Metropolis table lamp by Jan Garncarek
Lamp created as a result of fascination with the possibilities offered by the metallurgy. The lamp exposes what is most beautiful in brass.
Here I see the beauty in two different forms. The first are various types of dishes or shields. Their phenomenon is the occurrence of irresolvable forms. The flat sheet is flaccid and prone to deformation.
Only after its extrusion and giving its sphericity, it gains its constitutionality. The second form are the heavy machine parts, simple and perfectly matched "geometries".
Metropolis is a clash of both of these fascinations. The lamp is made by hand with a full brass, using traditional methodsof metalworking, as well as other methods, slowly fading into obscurity. An example of which are the plates executed by metal spinning method.

The new series of light sculptures named Ambra combines volumes of ancient stones and aluminium. Centerpiece is the Mexican “Toba volcánica” stone that consists of minerals, glass and volcanic debris ejected one million years ago during severe eruptions. Fragments in the geometrical surfaces are testament to these explosions and movement.
The contrast between porous textures and smooth dark red underlines the studios contemporary approach on traditional materials and craft. The connecting components between the sculptural stone elements and the aluminium parts originate from an intensive research of linking unique handmade shapes with industrial parts.
