New and absolutely ‘RAW’ – Industrial design made by OWA

RAW grey is an industrial-style raw tile dyed grey. It is sealed with a transparent acoustic varnish and delivers excellent sound absorption.

Also in the popular look, RAW structure is a raw tile on a grey-primed base and delivers good sound absorption thanks to its perforation.

RAW clay is a raw tile dyed beige and rounds of the new product line. It is also sealed with a transparent acoustic varnish and delivers excellent sound absorption.

One distinguishing feature of the three variants is an original appearance combined with great acoustic performance.

The product line combines the raw and original features of OWA mineral ceilings with acoustic performance for high-end projects. RAW adds unique design highlights, reflects the trend toward natural materials and blends seamlessly with the theme world of modern industrial design.

The manifold prizes recently awarded to OWA are testament to the innovative power of the brand. For example, products from the OWAconsult collection have recently won at the China Good Design Award 2018, the bdia ausgesucht! 2018, the ICONIC AWARDS 2018, the Red Dot: Best of the Best (2018), iF DESIGN AWARDS 2018, the German Design Award 2018, and the MIAW. The logical consequence is that the OWAconsult collection is being continuously improved and upgraded. Among these innovations are the OWAplan and RAW product lines, as well as the introduction of new lighting elements for the modular Corpus system. These and other innovations will be presented to a specialist audience for the first time at the BAU trade fair on Stand 538 in Hall A2.
