Finally a corporate gift that speaks of your company
Tired of giving and receiving boring corporate gifts? The usual culprits come to mind… pens, key rings, torches, mugs, flash drives and golf ball bags, all nicely branded, yet of questionable quality. These usually end up broken or dumped in landfills before Christmas and leave you wondering why the gifter even bothered. We believe that […]

Ikonik™ is our take on the traditional steel […]

Plywood radios on a mission
Raw designed and produced plywood-clad radios used as promotional items for ICR, a pirate radio station in Joburg central. At a recent ICR event in Melville these sweet little radios were all the rage as fans clamoured to get their paws on the object. Marketing brainchild of Joao Orecchia, one of the founding members of […]

It is with great excitement that we welcome the newest member of the Raw team, especially because this guy doesn’t take lunch breaks or days off. It’s an ABB 6400 robot arm that we acquired second hand from the UK supplier Global Robotics. Once […]
