Link explores the meeting point between earth and silk.
Clay holds its form. Silk carries movement.
In this collection, silk is not treated as an accessory placed onto the ceramic. It becomes part of the composition, weaving through sculpted openings, wrapping around the form and introducing movement, color and narrative into the solidity of stoneware.
The collaboration brings together Joanne Najjar’s sculptural ceramic practice and Lilly the Twilly’s silk craftsmanship. Each ceramic form is conceived and handbuilt in Najjar’s studio, where structure, texture and the integration of silk are developed as part of the sculpture itself.
Lilly the Twilly’s silk pieces introduce imagery inspired by Beirut, Lebanon, women and desert landscapes, adding fluidity and narrative to the ceramic forms.
Together, the two materials create a dialogue between structure and movement, permanence and fluidity, while each retains its own character within a single sculptural composition.
Oasis – Link Collection
Oasis evokes a place of refuge and memory, where solidity and softness meet. Its rounded, grounded form is interrupted by sculpted openings that create passages through the clay, allowing space to become an active part of the composition.
Through these openings passes Lilly the Twilly’s Lebanon Edition Twilly, the brand’s first twilly, created in 2024. Inspired by Beirut’s old balconies, vibrant colors and cultural heritage, the silk carries a visual memory of the city through the ceramic structure.
Handbuilt in stoneware, the soft mineral-white surface remains tactile and restrained, contrasting with the color and fluidity of the silk. As the fabric moves through the openings, the two materials create a dialogue between shelter and freedom, permanence and movement.
