Earlier this year Peet was given the opportunity to talk about his journey with Raw Studios at the Pretoria Institute for Architects’ Ideas Conference. With 13 years in the making, multiple ranges and 100’s of products available, 45 minutes was just too short to give a complete picture, so we made a short video to […]
We took our knowledge of furniture design, engineered materials and CNC manufacturing and applied it at a much larger scale to start creating our new range of furniture you can live in. Nestling is a work-in-progress micro-living container and the beginning of something much bigger. Crafting the container also led us into developing a modular […]
Everyone knows by now that open plan offices are bad news, and for good reason! No one wants to be in a space where work becomes a battlefield of distractions vying for your attention: Sally’s loud chatter about last night’s date, Thabo’s ridiculous morning smoker’s-cough routine or the umpteenth courier scuffling past with yet another […]
Who are “they”? We all know “they”… It’s that “guy” who always knows all the facts about Cape Town’s weather, the best diet to follow, the latest assets to invest in or what Sally really did last December. That clears it up right? Yeah, umm, not really. Well, that is exactly why we decided to […]
There’s no need to opt for the sad low quality grey options on the market any longer. Our three new professional storage options are not trying to reinvent the storage landscape, but they do match our look and feel perfectly, and they are so much more affordable. We don’t have to strategically position our chairs […]
Great workspace activation and project specific design and development work share the stage at 100% design this month. We go all out at 100% Design each year and we’re back at it again. This year, from 8-12 August we will be showing some behind the scenes intel on what’s been going down at Raw […]
It’s been more than a year since we introduced you to how Raw applies design supply services to large projects, so we thought it’s time we give you a refresher of what’s been unfolding at the University Pretoria/Earthworld Architects’ Future Africa Institute project and more specifically our Stilts system. […]
Despite all the project specific design/supply happening in the background, our Epik workspace range is proving itself as adaptable and timeless as ever with more and more businesses seeing value in a well-considered workplace. A client recently approached us, stating that “Our workspace had become a grey, muted and uninventive environment, with staff members […]
While Stilts (haven’t read about this system? Catch up here…) has been evolving through its various development phases, another design supply product has been running parallel on quite a different track. Peter Matthews from MAAA approached us at Raw Studios to develop a system for a new project also headed by the University of Pretoria […]
Round and round she goes… Could it make a substantial difference in cost efficiency and cut down significantly on waste if smaller workshops followed the design principles around larger production lines? Damn right it could. We reimagined and reorganized our production processes to follow closed loop (circular) systems to get closer to a production line […]
