One Show,
Many Perspectives
~
Presenting Design Intelligentsia : a showcase exploring thoughtful, future-facing design through collectible objects, sustainable materials, and emerging creative voices rooted in tradition, culture and histories with a globally fluent design language.
Bringing together a curated gallery of collective of artists, designers, craftspeople, and allied practitioners whose shared knowledge and interdependence shape the act of making.
Debuting at the Shoreditch Design Week and London Design Festival 2026, Raw Collaborative presents a collective of over 25 designers from India, the UK, and Europe, initiating a significant global representation.
Rather than preserving craft, heritage and design inheritance as a museum piece, Design Intelligentsia asks a single, provocative question: What happens when inherited knowledge is allowed to evolve?
The result is a striking, boundary-pushing collection where fine art and functional design completely dissolve. From statement lighting and bespoke furniture to intricate textiles and hand-forged metalwork, each piece offers international architects, interior designers, and collectors a direct pipeline to rare craft systems reimagined through a modern lens.
