RBW XR — Created by Tom Hancocks
Hoist pendant, vermilion 21" shade
A lovable fixture that is highly versatile in illuminating any room. Having identified the out-of-reach electrical outlet as a routine problem, RBW and Meyer Davis studios adapted the standard electrical cord as an integral, stylish component of Hoist’s overall design. Swagged and offered with generous cable length, the cord allows greater opportunities for where a pendant light can be installed. The shade is available in a variety of colors and diameters, with a sconce and flush mount version as well. Waterproof, the highly durable exterior is also suitable for outdoor installation, creating the possibility for a cohesive interior and exterior.

The common theme in both Hoist and Pilot is that they offer the user opportunities to manipulate their use... The big idea behind the two of them is empowerment—for designers to be able to use these fixtures the way they want to use them.

When we think about the future of work for our team, the fixed-five-days-a-week in the Factory or Showroom seems like a requirement from the distant pass. As we consider the evolution of how we work, it's clear that Work from Anywhere is here to stay.

This year, we invited Hancocks to launch RBW’s visual artist residency, a new series of artist and designer collaborations aimed at creating unique visual experiences. As our first resident, Hancocks designed three immersive and stunningly detailed fictional environments—two workspaces and one resort—for RBW XR, our 360-degree, extended reality platform for viewing our products in situ. Here, Hancocks walks us through his subconscious approach to design, and describes the perks of cross-disciplinary collaboration.
