Love, love, love the Excel Lamp, I found last month at the New York Gift Show, from Manhattan-based collaborative design studio Rich, Brilliant, Willing. RBW creates environments, furniture, and products. Their design is often based on the alternative and innovative uses of various industrial and readymade materials. The company name, a clever play on their last names, is very reflective of their creative energy. The lamp, designed in 2008, reflects their design philosophy......standing a lean and lanky 7", it is wood and aluminum, and has a silk shade. Color options are black, blues, and grey.
"Why do they work together? Simply put 1+1+1 equals a lot more than 3. Each member has a different point of view, one explicitly loves materiality and interior spaces, another with an unconventional color palette and eye for sculptural forms, the third is an inventor bringing spontaneity and theatrical energy to the work." Rich, Brilliant, Willing
