Raw by Jens Fager

"Everything is different. The core of our philosophy that permeates all assignments and projects, is treat them all in an honest way, highlighting their main function. The other part is that we always add value in terms of humor, poetry and surrealism."

This is Jens Fager’s philosophy, and I think he accomplished what he set out to do when designing his Raw series. These are simple interpretations of common furniture pieces and his honesty and humor is injected with the raw, hand-carved finish. It makes each piece uniquely special and the colors are just lovely.

When I am putting rooms together I always look for honest, quirky pieces that look interesting next to more serious architectural pieces of furniture. These pieces are available at a number of locations through Muuto, one of them being Just Scandinavian, which happens to be a gorgeous store right in my neighborhood.
