• Welcome to LAYLO STUDIO.

    We are a Chicago-based practice specializing in handmade furniture, custom cabinetry, and architectural installations. Our work combines woodworking and metalworking techniques with thoughtful, contemporary design to create refined, functional pieces tailored to your needs.

    At LAYLO, precision and craft guide every project. We offer a selection of standard-sized and to-the-inch furnishings, including dining tables, hall tables, and cabinets, designed to integrate seamlessly into your space. For those seeking something unique, we also provide fully custom commissions, where every detail—from dimensions to materials—is carefully considered and executed to meet your specifications.

    Our expertise also includes architectural projects, where we partner with clients to design and create installations that seamlessly integrate and elevate interior spaces. From built-in cabinetry and environmental lighting to custom furniture designed for specific contexts, our work embodies a thoughtful balance of practicality and personality.

    The foundation of our practice lies in a dedication to design for manufacture, guided by a craftsperson's deep understanding of materials and processes. Combining modern tools with age-old techniques, we work with solid wood, steel, stainless steel, brass, bronze, tempered glass and stone to craft pieces that are both enduring and timeless. Each project is approached with meticulous care, reflecting our unwavering commitment to quality and attention to detail.

    We welcome you to explore our portfolio and discover more about our approach to furniture design, cabinetry, and architectural solutions. At LAYLO Studio, we emphasize collaboration, craft, and thoughtful design, creating pieces that bring enduring value to every space.
