Lighting brand RBW – whose founders Charles Brill, Theo Richardson, and Alex Williams are among the Wallpaper* USA 300 – launches the ‘Topo’ sconces, made of a new terrazzo-like composite material
The lighting and design company RBW has not only established itself as a commercial success, it continues to push for design achievements too. Since moving its headquarters and manufacturing facility upstate to Kingston, New York last year – into an iconic, former IBM call centre, no less – the company, featured in the , has reaped the benefits of consolidating its creative, innovative and manufacturing operations under one roof.
The sconces evoke the familiar look and texture of terrazzo while meeting the requirements to support LEED certification and imparting a warm and organic quality as well. At the heart of each sconce sits an elliptical glass globe, which emanates a warm glow that reflects off the rich texture of the backplate.
Available in two sizes and five earthy colourways, ‘Topo’ boasts dimming controls and energy-efficient capabilities. Each backplate exudes its own unique pattern and texture, making it equally dynamic on its own as it is in a larger configuration. As a Certified B Corp, RBW aims for the highest standards in social and environmental accountability. By pairing LED technology with the use of fewer and more mindful materials, the company is doing what it can to ensure that the future stays bright.
