After revisiting one of its best-selling pendants, RBW presents the new and improved Akoya. The original hand-blown, opal glass bulb now boasts increased technical capabilities, as well as more refined perforations to its sheer, spun-aluminum shade. With Akoya’s shades now fabricated in North America, we’ve also cut down our carbon footprint by manufacturing closer to home.

RBW | Spring Partner Dinner

On March 30, the RBW leadership team gathered with tastemakers in the New York design community for an evening of cocktails and a private dinner. It was a privilege to host this event at our 85F Tribeca Showroom. The night centered around a shared table and a seasonal menu prepared by Chef Arley Marks. One course was created in partnership with the Kingston YMCA Farm Project, an urban farm that supports youth through food education, environmental stewardship, and community engagement. The evening reflected a shared commitment to care, craft, and connection. A moment shaped by good food, thoughtful conversation, and the people who continue to make this community what it is. Thank you to everyone who joined us.
