Nymph Floor Lamp By Laylo Studio

Nymph Floor Lamp by Laylo StudioLimited EditionDimensions: D 50 x H 106.6 cm.Materials: Woven reed, blackened & brushed stainless steel.As related to insects, a nymph is sexually immature and characterized by distinct body morphology from its future adult form. Undergoing the most extreme physical metamorphosis are “naiads,” nymphal insects born in aquatic environments, that transition for a life on land. Our Nymph builds upon this etymological legacy as a woven ode to the soft triumph of nature’s tenacious life cycle which continues in the face of its perverse destruction. Modeled after the double-walled undulation of embryonic cellular growth, its antithetical skeletal surface kindles a lifelike glow. Woven in reed, Nymph has a continuous, undulating surface defining a central, light-emitting shaft that dissipates along three hooded domes.All our lamps can be wired according to each country. If sold to the USA it will be wired for the USA for instance.LAYLO is the practice of Sam and Lydia Link. Founded with the intention of building through the exploration and integration of traditionally siloed crafts, the partners design and independently produce limited edition, functional works in their Chicago workshop using both contemporary and age-old equipment and techniques.Sam and Lydia are deeply committed to creating each piece themselves, believing firmly that this hands-on approach imbues their creations with a tangible essence of their presence as both artisans and artists.Their work is a testament to their dedication and passion, an ode to the meticulous and diligent process of creation. They adopt a "slow-cooker" approach to design and manufacturing, a deliberate counter-narrative to the relentless 24/7 production schedule that has dominated the market since the mid-19th century referencing the contrarian Arts and Craft and Studio Craft movement that emerged. As a result of their methods, each piece in their collection is not merely an object but a narrative of Sam and Lydia’s personal journey through the manual manipulation of materials. Their work is informed not just by their own creative visions but also by external references that guide their labor. In an age of mass production, LAYLO stands out as a beacon of individuality and craft, offering pieces that are not just made but are brought into existence with intention, care, and a profound connection to the history and significance of making.
