Project

By visually clarifying data about climate change, Raw Color aims to raise awareness about the issue. At the heart of the project is a series of blankets that serve as carriers of this data. The colour schemes were also carefully curated to convey different types of climate information, such as warm shades for changing temperatures and cool shades for rising sea levels. Besides bringing together the studio's signature disciplines – textile design, graphic design and the materialisation of colour – the blankets are designed to communicate climate data simply and compellingly, with the aim of creating insights and lasting impact.
