‘The Welcome Drinks Cabinet’, 2023

Matthew Raw’s Welcome Drinks Cabinet is a drawing room show-piece; a fully tile-clad bar unit which becomes a playful talking point for gathering round and celebrating. Raw crafts and lays each tile by hand having developed his distinctive glazes and tile-assembled furniture by drawing on historical tiled stations and buildings across London.
