When does 1+1+1 equal more than 3? When Richardson (RICH), Brill (BRILLIANT) and Williams (WILLING) put their talent together and create new perspectives in the design world. RBW is a Manhattan-based studio that was named among the top 40 emerging designer studios by I.D. Magazine in January 2009. How did they manage to be so famous in such a short time? By combining their different points of view; 3 talented designers, each one specializing in different fields. Their intention is to reinvent materials and create objects with a fresh perspective. Rich fantasy, Brilliant ideas, Willing to offer beautiful projects. That’s RBW.
