Clutch - a sculptural vessel made from hand-carved lattice by Laylo Studio
About the Item
hand-carved, joined, sanded and oiled walnut lattice
approx. 1.5 cubic feet of volume
Perpetually unfinished, our wooden vessel is simultaneously closed and porous, able to clutch a few lemons but not contain them. It is an object that questions the practicality of the human compulsion towards organization and finality. In so doing, it reflects upon the ongoing cycle of both craft and caretaking that are continuously undermined by the entropy of life. This interplay of utility and futility encapsulates the essence of the vessel's existence establishing a dialogue between order and chaos, between the man-made and the natural, invoking reflections on the nature of craft, the passage of time, and the utility of artistic expression.
Created as part of Sam's thesis project (MFA in Designed Objects 2020 - School of the Art Institute of Chicago). This is available in an edition of 10+1AP (shown).

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.
