On the evening of May 17th, we welcomed friends and collaborators for a private dinner at 85F—our new Tribeca space for design, dialogue, and experimentation. Set against the backdrop of the still-evolving interior, the night offered an early glimpse into the world of 85F. Guests gathered around the table for a seasonal menu created by Chef Arley Marks, designed to reflect the tone and texture of the space itself—fresh, playful, and intentional. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this quiet debut. 85F is just getting started.

The end of the year is a time to reflect on a year of growth, collaboration, and hard work. In December 2024, we brought the team together at Chleo’s in Kingston for our annual holiday gathering. Over great food and lively conversation, we celebrated the achievements of the year and the people who made them possible. At RBW, we believe in the power of light to create atmosphere — and this is the team behind it.—and this is the team that brings that vision to life.
