Smooth, sculptural, and effortlessly cool—Tidal redefines the flush mount without compromise. Crafted from spun aluminum, its fluid, undulating form feels almost weightless. Designed in collaboration with Henry Julier, Tidal casts soft, even light without a trace of ceiling shadows. Available in Small, Medium, and Large, Tidal adapts with quiet confidence—striking and always designed to elevate.
With stunning ripples, the spun metal shade evokes the water's edge. Designed to illuminate evenly, Tidal balances uplight and downlight in a single flush mount—keeping ceilings clean and design uninterrupted.

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!
