Raw Craft presents furniture characterised by an honest, intelligent and logical approach to making. A tangible materiality is evident in the look and feel of the works. The furniture displayed reveals a subtle originality in the way that skills and resources are employed, imbued with simplicity and a high quality of finish.

All seven designers use modest materials and a hands-on approach to prototyping and making. They reject excess, and employ the self-empowering values of traditional workshop culture. Working in an age of austerity, their work is rich in creativity and intelligence.

Raw Craft is produced by the Crafts Council with Brent Dzekciorius and Michael Marriott as curatorial advisors.
