Lola Lely Studio
Lola Lely Studio is a multi-disciplinary studio founded by designer and RCA graduate Lola Lely. Lola was born in Hanoi but grew up in the UK, curious from an early age on how objects are made. Drawing, making and the connections between, material, process and maker are all central to her practice.
Specialising in narrative driven installations and furniture, Lola brings an open spirit to her projects, collaborating with anthropologists, storytellers, chefs and silversmiths to produce her work.

Maker's Quote
None of my projects seem to have an end point. I like restlessness, when I don’t know where something is going. It’s a little bit serendipitous.

The Process
Lola Lely practices craft in fresh and unexpected ways by linking contemporary practices and technology with age-old techniques, from patinated bronze, to indigo dyed wooden furniture, even creating her own kit of tools to produce her work.
