garth™ X LIDS
Cover image missing

Originally developed as an in–studio product by garth of garth™, LIDS is a design exploration that elegantly combines utility with decoration. The LIDS objects serve a fundamental purpose as storage boxes, while conveying a uniquely expressive statement. Using a variety of materials, including wood, fibre, and stone the project builds on the poetics of containment, where each material tells a different story about what it means to hold, to protect, to preserve.

For 3daysofdesign, LIDS proudly collaborates with a curated selection of internationally renowned designers, showcasing a limited edition of objects, each reflecting the distinctive aesthetic language and ethos of its creator. When asked to incorporate their preferred natural or human–made materials into the LIDS containers, the designers ingeniously transformed storage boxes into informal collages of colour and diverse textures. The resulting works are not just storage solutions, but uniquely expressive statements that turn 'utility' into 'extraordinary'.

Tools for Everyday Life is a project showcasing the community of practice surrounding the BA Furniture and Product Design programme at Northumbria University. This community has evolved through a dialogical approach to teaching and learning, where academic and technical staff act as facilitators in an ongoing process of shared inquiry with students. The project sets design briefs to create everyday objects that bring joy in use, proposing artefacts that recognise and celebrate the innumerable skilled actions that shape daily life. The aim is to draw inspiration from materials and processes that not only define the objects people interact with but also shape the relationship with the surrounding environment.

Furniture ought to make room for people. That has been the philosophy since 1942, when FDB Møbler was founded, by architect Børge Mogensen. Many new designers have since entered the fold, but the foundational principles remain the same: to create beautiful, functional and exceptionally crafted furniture that makes room for everyday living at home. FDB Møbler is internationally known as a frontrunner of Danish design. It’s a story of classic pieces to be passed down from generation to generation. Regardless of whether they are talking about iconic pieces or new, innovative designs, the goal is the same: To have the veritable quality of life that was envisioned when the first pieces of furniture emerged in 1942.
