RBW partnered with industrial designer Jonas Damon to create Highline, an adaptable, easy-to-install system that marries the flexibility of a linear fixture with the thoughtful design of a decorative pendant. The Highline collection now includes our felt-shaded cones available as a pendant and flush mount.
Highline Flush Mount and Pendant now distill the joy of the linear pendant into a simplified form. With three new shade colors, it delivers striking illumination with delight—designed to complement and enhance.
Highline’s slim, suspended beam pairs with three distinct fixture options. Choose the sleekness of the cone pendant, the versatile dual-axis swivel of a spotlight, or the warmth of the felt shade made from 90% post-consumer fibers. Pair with a linear uplight that casts a diffuse glow.
As a track pendant designed to adapt to a wide range of projects, Highline’s fixtures can be easily swapped out and repositioned without the use of any tools. The beam itself, offered in 4- and 8-foot lengths, lends itself to endless customization. Overlap and cross beams, mount fixtures asymmetrically or suspend in long linear rows for a unique expression.
Highline elevates traditional track lighting through its thoughtfully considered details, including its graceful hanging armatures, black anodized finish and chamfered edges of its understated aluminum beam.
Jonas Damon, RBW collaborator and founder of the New York City-based Office for Design, has worked with the best of the best, including Google, Malin + Goetz, and Areaware. His sense of optimism and emphasis on human engagement distinguishes his approach to design, spanning physical, digital and service platforms.

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!
