Sybil Layous is a Lebanese designer-maker working in clay. She specializes in hand-built forms using traditional coil, slab and pinch techniques to create freestanding design objects, sculptures, and vessels.
With a formal background in fashion visual communication, she spent her early career years working in Paris in the fashion industry, before moving back to her home country to launch Flor:ish, a Beirut-based floral project.
She started experimenting with clay in 2017 and the medium gradually became integral to her work. Today, she focuses solely on her ceramic practice after going back to Paris in 2023, where she currently lives and creates. Her work still draws inspiration from the natural world: gestural contours, sensuous curves, and biomorphic shapes. Her emphasis on light and shadow, balance and imbalance, symmetry and asymmetry, has been a consistent framework in her approach to composition, blurring the line between the spontaneous and the intentional.
The result is a series of objects that are entirely handmade and slow-crafted. Playful and ambiguous, they suggest a dialogue between artistry and function, craftsmanship and design, modernity and tradition.
