Raw Edge Collection is a furniture, lighting, home accessorize series exploring sustainability through material honesty and contemporary craft. In Taiwan, earthquakes frequently happens and cracked marble slabs which are often discarded. Raw Edge begins with these damaged pieces, reframing them as evidence of place—waste material with inherent beauty.

Rather than hiding irregularity, the collection celebrates the natural edge: a poetic, organic boundary shaped by geology and fracture. Veins, strata, and break lines read like a landscape, expressing respect for the environments from which we take everything.

The story starts with the Raw Edge Bench, where fractured slabs are precisely cut at 45 degrees and re-joined into a calm, architectural form. The Raw Edge Floor Lamp uses the raw perimeter to trace a mountain-like profile - an homage to Taiwan’s terrain. The newest breakthrough is the Raw Edge Coffee Table: a flat-packable marble design that assembles easily, improving transport efficiency and extending product life.

Across the series, elegance meets humility—high-quality craft for refined, contemporary spaces.
