Raawii: Dynamic Danish Design
Founded in 2017 by Bo Raahauge and Nicholai Wiig Hansen, Raawii is a many-sided homeware brand capable of filling any corner, surface or space with a quirky design. Specialising in homeware, they build functional objects to be used around the house such as vases, jugs and bowls and add their own twists to them, rendering them unique and giving them distinctiveness.
Sharing a deep-rooted creative flair, the two founders of the Copenhagen-based brand thrive on seeing their creations grow. Following a mindset that focuses on three main goals which drives their work forward: creating well-proportioned products, producing with respect for people and society and providing optimal conditions for designers.
Through use of solid colours such as Purple Ash, Vibrant Orange, Bristol Green and Freesia, their designs make for impressive features that work perfectly on their own or can be used as containers for flowers, fruit, candles or anything you please.
One of Raawwii’s favourite techniques when it comes to making pieces is through earthenware, opting specifically for the type made in Portugal. In both their renowned ‘Strøm’ collection, they favour this technique which involves using non vitreous pottery below 1200°C, making it low-fire ware and giving it a rustic look. This method has proved a trusty one for the brand and has set the ball rolling for their popular best-sellers such as their kooky vases and jugs.
To make their iconic vases and bowls from the ‘Relæ’ line, the brand opted for the age-old and traditional material of mouth-blown glass. Featuring raw materials that are heated to around 1500°C, a lengthy process is undertaken including shaping, cooling, reheating and blowing air into the glass through a long cylinder in order to ensure the utmost quality. The result of this technique creates Raawii’s striking products, that with their added bright colours, produced an astounding and lasting effect.
The brand sticks to timeless methods of production that have been tried and tested for centuries, yet the founders’ desires to experiment with new, up-and-coming forms gives them the upper hand when it comes to being experts of interior decoration. Little additions scattered around a home or an office make all the difference when it comes to setting the tone, adding character and making your own mark.
