Restrained and functional, the Reids’ designs were perfectly proportioned, with subtle detailing and imaginative use of materials – designed ‘for the young of heart and pocket’. John and Sylvia Reid lighting catalogues also forms the content of the Margaret Howell calendar 2020. The Reids’ first lighting collection, Forrest Modern (1952), was strikingly minimalist and architectural whilst their designs for Rotaflex were equally groundbreaking. Their appointment as lighting consultants for Coventry Cathedral confirmed their reputation as Britain’s most accomplished lighting designers. ‘One feels that the Reids could successfully design almost anything if they set their minds to it. I agree with John Reid that design is the intelligent use of materials to solve a practical problem. But this does not explain the inspired visual quality of the Reids’ work – quietly effective, with clean lines and spare shapes that complement those materials.’
