Jan Ernst on Instagram: "Die Nagwag (The Nightwatch) is a floorlamp inspired by experiences from my childhood. Growing up in rural parts of the country, I became aware of the subtle relationships between humans and nature by observing everyday activities on the farm.

Jan Ernst on Instagram: "CONVERGENCE gives the impression of a relic from a forgotten era, reminiscent of fossils or ancient remnants that have long been extinct. The mural elicits a sense of enchantment, drawing viewers into a mystical realm.

Available through @thkgallery"

Jan Ernst on Instagram: "For the past 2 months we've been working on creating a limited edition series of bronze TIDE Candelabras. This is the first of TIDE 02 and was created for an exciting exhibition in the Ivory Coast with @fouguefondation. I particularly enjoy the contrast between the textured matt ceramic base and the high gloss fluid shape of the bronze."
