JAN GARNCAREK METROPOLIS SCONCE / SILVER

JAN GARNCAREK

The evolution of this design from a lamp to a sconce amplifies its presence, providing a more intimate and focused light that enhances the surrounding space. As a sconce, the design becomes a striking element, casting dynamic shadows and highlights that accentuate the material’s beauty. This sconce is inspired by two distinct forms: dishes or shields, which are transformed from flat brass sheets into structured, spherical shapes, and heavy machine components with simple, precise geometries. The design stems from a deep fascination with the metallurgy and processing of brass, where its malleability is carefully shaped through techniques like metal spinning to bring the form to life.
