ANNA BY R ABL ABS
ANNA by RabLabs is a luxury home and lifestyle brand launched by Anna Rabinowicz in 2002. From its outset, ANNA has been consistent in establishing and refining the trademark style of the brand – an elevation of nature through design. Our collections feature a luxurious palette of materials, layering semi-precious gemstones with the finishing touches of 24k gold and pure silver. Fifteen years ago, we created the original designs for agate and gemstone coasters and platters. Since then, our collection has grown to over 500 designs, from products for entertaining, to desk and bathroom collections, to lighting and furniture. We work with artisans in Brazil and Italy to create our hand-crafted designs, each one unique. Through the combination of precious materials with modern style, ANNA celebrates bringing nature and elegance into the home.

O U R C R EAT I V E D I R EC TO R
Anna is a product designer by training. She holds Master’s Degrees in Design and Engineering from Stanford University – a program in which she now teaches. Her passion in life is design. Her most intoxicating moments are sitting in her studio with her favorite black ink pen in hand, sheets of paper in front of her, dreaming of new ideas. Anna has always been interested in the intersection of science and art, and began her career designing prosthetic knees and devices for cardiac bypass surgery. Her love of biology and nature segued into her creation of our company, with its focus on natural materials and biological inspiration. Anna has taught product design at the university level for the past fifteen years, including ten years at Parsons The New School for Design in New York. As a professor, she conducts research into biologically-inspired design. This research flows from her academic work into her studio work; each of our designs is imbued with this deep research and history.

T H E D ESI G N PROC E SS
Our designs often begin with a material that inspires Anna – a fragment of shell, a crystal formation of druzy amethyst, or even a piece of rose gold. Often her inspiration comes from a natural organism, like the sea fan which inspired our Espera collection. Anna discovered the original artifacts on the top shelf in her father’s study, and then undertook a multi-year, academic research project to examine the properties and behaviors of this natural organism. The development process then builds upon this extensive research into natural organisms. Anna sketches her ideas (often with her favorite cappuccino by her side), and then creates prototypes. She tinkers with them down to the last millimeter, until every detail is just right. Combining natural inspiration and research, she crafts ways, through design, to help people to create lasting experiences and memories.

Over the years, Anna and our team have built deep relationships with the artisans in Brazil and Italy who craft our designs. Anna works with our artisans in their studios, examining their abilities and processes, and suggesting imaginative production techniques. It is a core value of our company to assist our artisan partners, looking for ways to elevate their craft, and helping them to expand their livelihoods.

I designed our Spring 2018 collection to unite us in times of uncertainty. This collection is about contrasts - of materials, finishes, and forms. I focused on deliberately blending things which seemed incompatible, to create pieces which are entirely new. Each design is imbued with the best qualities of the elements which created it. This is our most ambitious collection yet, elevating nature through design with a continued dedication to research, material innovation, and understanding the needs of our users. We are devoted to elevating people’s lives, with design. Our Spring 2018 collection continues our company’s mission of bringing graciousness into the home. I hope that you’ll be as surprised and delighted by it as I am.

Our Dual Collection unites two very different materials: honed Italian marble and polished metal. It is designed to create moments of grace: a bud-vase that holds a single stem of one’s favorite flower, candlesticks that adorn the table when friends are invited for a dinner party, a photo frame that encloses a favorite memory. Shown in Carrara Marble/Gold. Also available in Carnico Marble/Silver, as shown on pages 14 and 15.
