Visionaries

Honorees:

RBW + Rockwell Collection
Rich Brilliant Willing

Designed in partnership with David Rockwell, this collection of two sconces (Notch and Phase) and one chandelier (Witt) reinterprets basic geometric forms as minimalist structures, using solid and luxury materials. The sculptural pieces can be utilized in myriad ways to provide warmth and sophistication.

Incogneeto Induction Warmer
Viking Range

This simple and innovative induction warmer can be mounted underneath stone or engineered-stone countertops and transforms the surface into a warmer for entertaining. When combined with the Magneeto 2 trivet, induction-compatible cook or bakeware can be placed on top, and the trivet acts as a heat sensor and wireless communicator, automatically monitoring a dish’s temperature.

Pylos Bench
Galanter & Jones

This beautifully simple design adds visual interest to any space while also keeping users warm: The smooth cast-stone surface is heated, making it suitable for all climates and seasons.
