To have a creative practice that consistently pursues a creative edge, you need to take the opportunity, time and headspace to innovate. Raft in Residence saw Raft’s entire studio retreat to Berlin for 6 weeks to focus on their creativity, to seek new experiences, find inspiration and explore design in a different light.
As part of NGV Melbourne Design Week, Raft created a short film highlighting their experiences as they met new people and saw first-hand the cultural, historic and social forces that have shaped Berlin into the creative powerhouse the city has become.
“Berlin gives you the possibility to be yourself, try out what you are, what you like and what you want.”
“It really struck me that there was this flourishing art scene that was kind of missing from where I had been over seas previously.”
