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.

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!
