ABOUT US

A Material Company

In 1998, Robin Reigi launched the first company in New York City specializing in the sourcing, development, and marketing of innovative architectural materials, artisans and fabricators. Joined by her partner Jennifer Daly in 2001 the team pioneered the notion of a Material Company setting numerous national design trends and garnering immediate industry recognition.

Bridging the gap between Makers and Users

Robin Reigi provides designers with the most unique architectural materials available by introducing them to talented manufactures eager to bring their innovative products to market. Consistently bridging the gap between talented makers and would be users has earned Robin Reigi the position as the most trusted source for fresh ideas in the material world.

A Pragmatic Philosophy toward Material Marketing.

Robin Reigi creates remarkable brand awareness for manufacturers of all sizes. Our pragmatic approach toward material marketing generates fast, high level visibility for our manufacturing partners. We encourage well rounded products that are resolved from a cost, performance and usability point of view capturing the attention of the design elite while becoming profitable with a broad customer base.

Our Curated Collection

Robin Reigi exclusively represents and is highly committed to our manufacturing partners who range from the artisans who shared our original vision to some of the brightest new talent to enter our industry today. While we are constantly watching the latest material trends, we are highly selective when adding to our permanent offering. Curated to reflect the esthetic of New York’s discerning design culture and our own distinct point of view, our collection affords an emphasis on performance driven materials whose aesthetics are informed by their engineering characteristics.

Centrally located in New York’s Flatiron District, our open door policy and creative atmosphere promote an inspiring environment where visitors may view large scale permanent installations along with a salon-style selection of samples and prototypes often found through our consulting projects.

Positioned to Inspire and Inform

Robin Reigi provides material consultation to corporations seeking insight into material trends and breakthroughs. Our insider perspective on the design culture makes us an invaluable asset to large scale automotive, aviation and furniture manufacturers seeking advanced materials libraries or project focused research and prototype development.

Transparency affords Environmental Responsibility

We consider transparency to be a critical step toward environmental responsibility. Robin Reigi provides full disclosure of the environmental status of our all of our materials whatever shade of green. Currently half of our collection can be considered an environmentally preferable material and we strongly encourage all of our manufacturers to publicly address the environmental impact of their products.
