RAW: Design by Nature
With vibrant earth tones, tribal fabrics here and there, rough outdoor flooring and with dashes furniture made of sleek stainless steel or metal with automotive paint finishes, etc. Ingredients of natural decorating that this book calls… RAW.
From the book… “The living space is a sanctuary, and Frances Briggs details the interior design elements that pull us toward nature and give us refuge from our fast-paced lives. Rich color photos show how working with the key elements — plaster, masonry, wood, metal, ceramics, textiles and fibers — can enhance the feel of every room in the house and create luxurious accents we can change on a whim.”
The book is great interior decorating guide as great photos show how all these natural materials are harmoniously blended for a modern look and life.

Like what we did with the Cezanne’s Garden book, we have our own raw materials and photographed the materials over the “Raw” book. I don’t know why we keep on doing this photo-ing the-photobook-routine, but we’re addicted to it. With no further ado…
fiber: all purpose fiber rope
wood: wood blocks, a component of our soon to be made wooden clock
ceramics: sobrang tiles pang-terrace
textile: ang batik ni lola
metal: stainless steel, soon to be lamp stand on our veneer wood lamp
*Left out are the plaster & masonry photos. We’ll update and post the pics as soon as we get a hold of these objects.
