Founded in 2014 by Richard Gann and Liz Close, Rawside was born from the couple’s shared desire to design and make furniture that flipped the lid on the standard commercial offering – furniture made with soul.
From the beginning, Rawside has been dedicated to generating as minimal negative environmental impact as possible – using sustainably sourced materials, designing furniture built to last, manufacturing in the UK, and creating minimal waste in the process.
They have gathered an exceptional team to work with them on this incredible journey, all of whom have “sustain on the brain” woven into their DNA. Having created a foothold in the commercial furniture market they continue to develop new products to respond to the needs of their customers and the dynamic world we live in – products that always stay true to their environmental values.
London born and bred, Rawside opened the doors to their newly constructed and sustainably designed workshops and warehouse on the edge of South Downs National Park in Hampshire in 2022 and opened their new London showroom in July 2023.
