Explore the CollectionLimited edition pieces, each numbered and signed by the artist. A convergence of mathematical precision and artistic intuition.
142 hours of meticulous work. 8,640 precise nail placements. 3.2 kilometers of golden thread. This is the anatomy of a LYON masterpiece.
Each piece begins as a mathematical equation, translated into intricate geometric patterns that honor Nigerian motifs while pushing contemporary boundaries.
We source 24K gold-plated threads, ethically harvested African hardwoods, and precision-forged stainless steel pins. Only materials worthy of heirloom status.
Master artisans employ tension as their medium, weaving threads with surgical precision. Each intersection is a deliberate choice, each angle mathematically perfect.
Every piece undergoes 72 hours of tension testing, light calibration, and final approval by founder Chinedu Lyon before receiving its numbered certificate of authenticity.
Founded in 2015 by Chinedu Lyon, an architect turned string artist, LYON began as a rebellion against mass-produced art. What started in a Lagos garage has evolved into Africa's most celebrated string art atelier.
Our pieces hang in the private collections of royalty, museums, and discerning collectors worldwide. Yet each creation remains deeply rooted in Nigerian narrative—telling stories of our ancestors through the universal language of geometry.
