Raw Materials and Why We Love Them So Much
If you’ve ever visited our showroom or browsed our site, you might have spotted a piece that feels just a little different. Maybe it had markings in the timber or a finish that looked perfectly aged. Maybe it just felt real. That’s often the work of Raw Materials Amsterdam.
We’ve been proud to work with them for a while now. They’re not just another supplier. They’re a family-run company, founded by two brothers with a shared love of unique pieces and timeless design. As a family business ourselves, there’s something really special about that. When you work with people who care about what they do, you feel it in the final product.
Pieces with a past
What makes Raw Materials so special is how they source their collections. They travel far and wide, mostly throughout India and Southeast Asia, handpicking one-of-a-kind pieces and salvaged materials with real stories behind them. These aren’t mass-produced or polished into perfection. They’re full of character, often made from reclaimed wood or old industrial parts, and they bring something truly unique to a space.
When you get a piece from Raw Materials, you’re not just buying furniture. You’re bringing in something with history, something that’s lived another life before finding its way into your home. And that’s what makes it so special.
No two are the same
One of the things we love most is that no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Whether it’s a sideboard, a mirror, or a small stool tucked into the corner of your room, every item feels like it was made just for you. There’s something beautiful about owning something that no one else has.
Having these pieces in our collection means we can offer our customers something more than just a product. It means we can offer a story. A talking point. A piece of the world that’s now part of their home.
Sustainable by nature
There’s also a quiet integrity in the way Raw Materials work. They use reclaimed woods and recycled metals wherever possible, and many of their collections are FSC-certified. That kind of sustainability isn’t about labels or trends. It’s about doing things the right way, with care and thought behind every detail.
Why we choose them
For us, working with Raw Materials is more than just good business. It’s a partnership that feels right. We share similar values, we care about quality and story, and we both believe in creating homes that feel lived in and full of personality.
When someone comes to us looking for something with soul, something a little offbeat but beautifully made, we nearly always find ourselves pointing to these pieces.
Come take a look
If you haven’t already seen what Raw Materials is all about, we’d love to show you. These are pieces that are best experienced in person. You’ll notice the texture of the timber, the imperfections that make it perfect, and the weight of something real.
And every now and then, a customer finds that one special piece. The kind of piece you take home and never want to part with. That’s what Raw Materials does best.
