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.

RBW Team Holiday Party 2024

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.
