Before they can exist, they must first be discovered.

It is this simple idea that makes RAW truly inspiring. The beauty, richness and elegance of the whole can only be realized once the search for the parts is complete. Each piece is gathered, grouped and assembled by hand, pulled from the thousands of pounds of waste left behind as a result of the manufacturing process. Rooting out, uncovering and liberating each castoff to form something new, unique and extraordinary. The colors and textures must be found rather than created.

This is RAW.
