Raw Color
Raw Color blends the fields of Graphic Design, Photography and Product Design in their Eindhoven based studio. The studio has been initiated by the designers Christoph Brach and Daniera ter Haar. Together with their team they are working on self initiated and commissioned projects. The materialisation of colour plays a key role, and can be seen as the core of the studio.

It’s a relief to put names to projects. Raw Color, an Eindhoven-based studio consisting of one Daniera ter Haar and one Christoph Brach, are responsible for a number of impossibly great projects and collaborations that I’ve seen spread out across the ether in a beguiling one-image-wins-prizes sort of way.
Studio Team:
Daniera ter Haar, Christoph Brach, Tijs Van Nieuwenhuysen, Mirjam de Bruijn and Noortje de Keijzer
Christoph Brach and Daniera ter Haar form Raw Color, a multidisciplinary studio based in Eindhoven (The Netherlands). Their work is ‘raw’ because it dives towards the core, striving for simplicity. And it’s ‘color’ not only because they strongly master the art of colours, but also because it’s an element present in all the different fields they explore – graphic design, photography and product –, uniting and highlighting their work’s diversity.

Education
Next to the studio projects Raw Color is teaching at Design Academy Eindhoven for several years.
They also have been regularly invited for several lectures and workshops at: ArtEZ Arnhem, Elisava, IED Madrid, Fachhochschule für Gestaltung Darmstadt, Design Yatra Goa, Academy of Art Berlin Weissensee, Design na Praça, Otis College of Art and Design LA, Demo Design Festival Barcelona and others.
There’s a cleanliness and simplicity to their aesthetic, an aspect they try to communicate and uphold in their visual work, with color, of course, being the unifying element.
