Natural Material Studio launched for the 2024 edition of 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen 12-14th of June 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's installation reimagined a full-size house and its interior located in the design district Refshaleøen, known for being one of Copenhagen’s most dynamic spaces for creative minds and design enthusiasts. Using the studio’s own bio-based materials, White Utopia embodies how it will be to live with, what Bonnie Hvillum calls ‘fluidity’, a way of approaching the world as in constant movement and materials understood as in flux. White Utopia explored the domestic space and its stereotype design objects as constructions of cultural, material and economical norms. With design abstractions staged in a spatial and textual installation, ‘the house’ was reconstructed as the sublime structure and placeholder from where ‘the home’ can unfold.
