Raw Edges brings to the LEMA catalog a more experimental approach to the relationship between object, wall, and domestic use. Their creations explore surfaces, mirrors, and complementary furnishings capable of transforming the perception of the home through color, reflection, and graphic design. These are not merely decorative elements: these objects help add depth, rhythm, and personality to interiors, while maintaining a clear function in everyday life. The studio’s contribution enhances subtle presences that define a room without weighing it down. Their language blends formal simplicity and visual experimentation, with particular attention to the way objects transform space.
Founded by Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay after their studies at the Royal College of Art, Raw Edges is a studio renowned for its experimental approach and ability to rethink common functions. Their method observes simple behaviors—resting, stacking, leafing through, displaying—and translates them into objects that transform the way we interact with space. Their research is not purely formal: it often explores movement, perception, and alternative uses of materials. In dialogue with LEMA, this vision brings an original contribution, expanding the role of furniture with intelligent and distinctive solutions. Their contribution is particularly original because it connects furniture, behavior, and experimental use.
