The New Raw

The New Raw is a research and design studio based in Rotterdam (Netherlands) 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. The New Raw has developed a growing body of work which advocates for a sustainable use of plastic to spring a positive environmental and societal impact.

The New Raw develops its own (digital) craftsmanship techniques through a formal and technical language that highlights the texture and the layer-by-layer character of its in-house robotic manufacturing process. The exploration of the possibilities that the robotic techniques provide results often to unexpected outcomes that shape the final design and transform plastic waste into beautiful and meaningful products that are 100% circular. The production method is always emphasized through form finding techniques and materiality.
