Custom multi-unit Palindrome, matte black
Sculptural and malleable the contortionist Palindrome was built to adapt to its environment. Each installation is unique, thanks to the modular composition of its tubular steel arms. They rotate to the custom configuration dictated by the size and shape of a space, and the light itself adjusts to mirror corresponding moods.
How a designer composes Palindrome was as much a consideration as the individual elements that contribute to the overall language of this collection.

Palindrome 6, mottled brass
While Palindrome required some diligent engineering on our end, the finished product is a surprisingly easy-to-install, modular toolkit for endless possibilities, no matter the size or the architectural conditions of the space. Once installed, Palindrome’s graphic, wiry silhouette reads like a signature—its composition is unique to every customer.

On March 30, the RBW leadership team gathered with tastemakers in the New York design community for an evening of cocktails and a private dinner. It was a privilege to host this event at our 85F Tribeca Showroom. The night centered around a shared table and a seasonal menu prepared by Chef Arley Marks. One course was created in partnership with the Kingston YMCA Farm Project, an urban farm that supports youth through food education, environmental stewardship, and community engagement. The evening reflected a shared commitment to care, craft, and connection. A moment shaped by good food, thoughtful conversation, and the people who continue to make this community what it is. Thank you to everyone who joined us.

We had a great time hosting an event with ALC to celebrate the Year of the Horse at our 85F Tribeca Showroom. It was a great evening of connection, culture, and community, with festive energy and meaningful conversations with peers across the lighting and design community. Thank you to everyone who joined us! Adding new stories of gathering and celebration to this space is part of why we built this new home for design and collaboration at 85 Franklin. It was such a privilege to host this Lunar New Year, with many more experiences planned for 2026. Stop by and see how we use the power of light to create atmosphere today.
