Topo’s elegant construction is both minimal and inviting, seamlessly joining an elliptical glass bulb to the unique visual textures of our circular backplate. Offered in a selection of rich earth tones ranging from Clay to Basalt, the backplate radiates with warmth as the light illuminates the organic patterns on its surface.
Exuding both elegance and warmth, the Topo sconce joins the simplicity of an elliptical glass globe with the organic texture of an innovative new material.
Introducing Topo, a new sconce collection of sleek outlines and subtle textures.
Five distinct color options and two sizes make Topo a versatile addition to a range of projects, with added dimming capabilities and leading energy efficiency. Each backplate presents its own unique pattern, ideal for installation on its own or as part of a group composition.

As a unique addition to the lighting market, Topo is the first of its kind to feature an innovative composite material combining the strength and durability of cement with the flexibility of FSC- and PEFC-certified wood. The material evokes the familiar patterns and textures of terrazzo with an added organic warmth, while meeting the requirements to support the latest LEED certification.

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!
