Nymph a Handwoven and Dyed Reed Pendant (two tier in black with neon pink LED)
About the Item
Acrylic, blackened steel, brass, LEDs, stainless steel, shellac, and woven reed
Sexual selection requires the use and continual modification of a lure. Sometimes a lure is a behavior but often it is a physical form that is designed to attract. Sometimes this attraction is nefarious as with the bioluminescent deep-sea predator, the angler fish who uses light to attract unwitting prey in the darkness. More frequently lures are used for sexual attraction, the strongest evolutionary pull, on par with mere survival. The lure itself archives the shared histories and urges. Nymph was woven as an ode to the sanctity of seduction inherent in the natural world and to the soft triumph in its continuation in the face of perverse destruction. Woven in reed, Nymph has a continuous, undulating surface and emits a firm light in LED along its central shaft which dissipates along its three hooded domes.
Created using adapted basketry techniques, the Nymph pendant casts a warm glow through its handwoven reed diffuser. Shown in two different sizes (3-tier hanging at 36" long and reaching 20" at its widest and 2-tier 24" long and 20" wide), the woven reed pendant expands upon traditional approaches to basket weaving to create surface area and volume for the interplay of both light and texture.
Each piece is one of a kind and hand-woven to order. Requests for customization in size, shape, and finish can be accommodated.
Black, two-tier shown is available for immediate purchase with option of warm white or neon pink light (shown).
Lydia & Sam founded Laylo Studio in 2014.
Every piece is designed and patiently handmade by the pair in their Chicago studio using solid wood joinery, fine metalwork, woven reed, leathers, and other mixed media. Their method of collaborative practice pushes them to arrive at enlivened interpretations of classic forms enriched by an in-depth understanding of both contemporary craft and design.
In addition to the work displayed here, Laylo is receptive to collaborating with clients and designers to create bespoke pieces for unique spaces.

Laylo Studio
LAYLO is the studio practice of Sam and Lydia Link. Founded with the intention of building through the exploration and integration of traditionally siloed crafts, the partners independently produce limited edition, functional works in their Chicago workshop using both contemporary and age-old equipment and techniques. Metal fabrication methodologies revolutionized by the last century of industrialization convene with imaginative woven elements and detailed woodwork to culminate in contemporary pieces that span eras and disciplines. As a result of a dedication to creating their work themselves, Sam and Lydia believe that the objects that arise from their collaboration are imbued with their presence as artisans. Rooted in diligent process, their “slow-cooker” approach to design and manufacturing exists in opposition to the 24/7 production schedule that commands the market environment. As a result, LAYLO’s collection of work is informed by Sam and Lydia’s connection to the manual manipulation of material and the time and labor required to bring the work to fruition.
