NYCxDesign Celebrates 10 Years with Exclusive Previews

05/24/2019

RBW

In celebration of its 10 year anniversary, Rich Brilliant Willing hosted a series of preview events surrounding the theme of Aged 10 Years.

The menu explored the different ways in which food can be aged—from pickling and curing to dehydrating. Each dish played with various elements of preservation and how these processes lend a sense of durability to otherwise fragile produce. A tasting of three wines from 2009, all showing freshness and vitality despite their age, echoed the timelessness of good design. The 10 year celebration included a preview of RBW's latest collection, AllSew, a modular scalable pendant inspired by the luminosity of lanterns and the lightweight, collapsible efficiency of kites.

RBW Team Holiday Party 2025

The end of the year is a time to reflect on a year of growth, collaboration, and hard work. This year we met at Eng’s in Kingston. The rare opportunity to sit together and take stock. We looked around the table and saw the team behind the work. RBW exists because these people care deeply about what they make and who they make it with. 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.

Shop Talk with Neil Logan & Roseanna Smith Vol. 13

Neil Logan brought clarity to 85 Franklin: keep what works, highlight the charm, don’t mess it up. Our collaboration with him has grown from Industry City to Kingston, and this project felt like the natural next step. Alongside Neil, project manager Roseanna Smith helped shape the vision and strategy, guiding the space to tell RBW’s story of evolution and what comes next. We caught up with Neil to talk about the design approach behind 85 Franklin, the art of doing less, and how to show off lighting without trying too hard.

RBW | Factory & 85F Tour

From Kingston to Tribeca, last week moved through every layer of what we do. Day One began on the factory floor, where materials meet process. Day Two ended at 85F, where those ideas take shape in space and light. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
