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'.
