In the spotlight: The New Raw

On p. 68, Creative Director John Law of Woodhouse & Law, travelled to Milan Design Week to discover the latest trends in the world of interior design. A research and design studio based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, caught our eye. The New Raw –founded in 2015 by architects Panos Sakkas and Foteini Setaki with the ambition to give new life to discarded materials through design, robots and craftsmanship –is looking closer at how robotic techniques can transform plastic waste into beautiful and meaningful products that are 100% circular.

Speaking about the studio, John Law says: “While some manufacturers returned to traditional craftsmanship, others looked to new technological developments for their latest collections. Take The New Raw, a young studio from the Netherlands. Using 3D printing, and inspired by traditional knitting techniques, continuous threads of plastic waste were threaded to create a series of tactile benches, permeable and strong enough to be used both inside and out.”
