Akoya pendant, matte white 16" shade
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.
Akoya’s newly engineered, state-of-the-art lighting module offers advanced technical capabilities, with increased lumen output and the efficient LED power consumption of only 8.7 watts.
Our versatile pendant offers a variety of options in size, color temperature, and finish. Choose from a 16" or 22" shade, color temperature from warm to neutral white, a powder coat in a shade from a curated color library or your own custom color.
Fine perforations give Akoya’s spun-aluminum shade the look of sheer weightlessness.

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.

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!
