The New Raw

The New Raw is a Rotterdam design and fabrication studio founded in 2016 by Panos Sakkas and Foteini Setaki. It designs circular furniture and objects from locally sourced plastic waste using robotic 3D printing, and keeps every stage from material sourcing to production in-house.

The studio treats plastic waste as raw material, constraint and primary tool, letting its history show through texture and colour rather than hiding irregularities. All products are mono-material and designed to be fully recyclable, made for public spaces and architectural and branded environments; clients include Coca-Cola, Lululemon, Unilever, MINI, Adidas, Nike, Ace & Tate and Snøhetta.
