After meeting in Jerusalem, Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay moved to London to study at the Royal College of Art, where, in 2007 they founded Raw-Edges, after finishing their studies.  With a very experimental approach, influenced by this famous British institution, their work methodology has always been based on a combination of personal research and practical exploration.  Guided by curiosity, their studio works largely as a laboratory in which, for example, they have tried paper molds to create expandable foam furniture or produce tiles industrially.  Likewise, they also work with everyday objects, always giving them a surprising twist.
