Mon, Mar 27, 2017, 1 –2 pm Auditorium 150 Visiting Artist Lecture Image Rich Brilliant Willing designs and manufactures LED fixtures for hospitality, workplace, and residential projects. Driven by technology, simplicity, and creativity, the studio merges the industrial and the elegant, engineering warm, dimmable lighting solutions that are as beautiful as they are innovative. The results are intelligent and iconic, simple yet expressive. The inventory ranges from low-key staple pieces—minimalist wall-mounted sconces and ceiling fixtures—to arresting statement pieces that are as sculptural as they are functional. All RBW fixtures are UL listed, and ship from New York within ten business days. Theo Richardson, Charles Brill, and Alexander Williams founded Rich Brilliant Willing in New York, in 2007. Today, the RBW team includes a global distribution network of partners and a second location, “Suite 707,” a trade-dedicated showroom in Manhattan. The brand’s accolades include a place on Forbes’ 30 under 30 Art & Design list and the International Contemporary Furniture Fair’s Best New Designer Award. The studio has shown in Wallpaper’s Handmade exhibition and two editions of Salone del Mobile’s Euroluce. RBW has also been nominated for the nation’s highest design distinction, the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award.
