Designed in collaboration with the acclaimed Yabu Pushelberg studio, Glyph is an elegant union of contrasts that casts a dynamic play of light and shadow.
Our newest sconce embraces the gestural simplicity of glyphs—symbols that compact meaning into a minimal graphic form. The collaborative design comprises two vertical panels joined at 90 degrees that form two halves of a whole—an intersection of contrasting colors and textures, as well as distinct shadows that complement a soft diffusion of light.
Glyph combines RBW’s high-performance lighting technology with the rich design ethos of Yabu Pushelberg, the award-winning, Toronto-based firm celebrated for its subtle infusion of play into sumptuous interiors. The construction is a reflection of the two studio’s shared appreciation for simple but dynamic forms.
Glyph’s three finishes Emerald, Luster, and Glimmer were thoughtfully selected for their richness and versatility. Each pairing features a level of textural contrast for added dimension.
Multi-disciplinary Design Studio
Yabu Pushelberg designs places and products: immersive environments, compelling destinations, and considered goods. George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg founded the studio in 1980 with an emphasis on interior design and have since evolved into creative directors addressing multiple layers of human experience. With offices in New York and Toronto and a team of more than a hundred creatives and professionals, the studio specializes in sensibilities spanning strategy, interior, product, lighting, textiles, and styling with a focus that goes well beyond what things look like, to how they make people feel.

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.

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!
