IN THE RAW

0 Comments

Some designers are extremely cagey about their design and construction processes, but not the lovely Raw Edges studio who have released some 'making of' pictures of their Pleated Pleat seat. Borrowing a technique used in fashion production, Raw-Edges folds and re-folds DuPont™ Tyvek® to create a series of plush seats. The method of pleating allows the flat, non-elastic material to become a springy, three-dimensional cushion when filled with soft polyurethane foam.

The work will be on show at Craft Punk; a show which aims to present a celebration of tenacious creative expression, unruly experimentation, and brilliantly low-tech design processes. Find it at Design Miami Spazio Fendi in Via Sciesa 3, during the Milan Salone del Mobile.

Raw edge will also showing 'Grove' - revolving paper trees planted on a non revolving paper and wood console table at the Spazio Rossana Orlandi - an intriguing installation well worth a look...
