Natural Material Studio will for the 2024 edition of 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen 12-14th of June launch the ideological installation ‘White Utopia’ unveiling an investigation of domestic living when designing for fluidity - a philosophy by the studio for a world in flux. Responding to 3daysofdesign’s theme ‘Dare to Dream,’ Natural Material Studio has with their new installation reimagined a full-size house and its interior located in the design district Refshaleøen. Using the studio’s own bio-based materials, WHITE UTOPIA will embody how it will be to live with, what their founder Bonnie Hvillum call ‘fluidity’, a way of approaching the world as in constant movement and materials understood as in flux.

For this year's installation during 3daysofdesign, Natural Material Studio wants to investigate how can the design process evolve, while challenging believe in capitalistic systems. Since when and why did our homes become a commodity, and why are people so driven by an idealistic picture of home? As a synergetic dream, the studio proposes an abstract view into a hypothetical future of fluidity. Through a sensorial and hyper-materialistic installation, the studio aims to blur the boundaries between art and design, fact and fiction, inside and outside, human and material, to explore and open up for our understanding of design.

MANU builds object-to-human relationships. Their objects are all ‘characters’ to live alongside — not bought and sold, but adopted. Working across waste streams, the material becomes both the starting point and the guide, allowing its limitations to shape the design of each object. They craft objects from PET bottles, lemon peels, or sand — depending on what’s available around them. MANU believes this philosophy can help us rediscover the value of finite raw materials, encouraging more respect and care for the objects we live with.
