WORKSTEAD is a New York based design firm, founded in 2009 by Stefanie Brechbuehler and Robert Andrew Highsmith. They were joined by Ryan Mahoney, also a graduate of the RISD Architecture program, in 2009. Their storefront office is located in Brooklyn, where they focus on architectural and interior design, lighting, furniture, and exhibitions. Like the company itself, the storefront is a framework for the highly tailored body of work they seek to create. Their aim is to design responsible works that create a sense of place for both the objects they contain and the people that experience them. While at home in Brooklyn, WORKSTEAD currently has projects in New York City, Bridgehampton, Upstate New York, Connecticut, and Colorado. Their lighting is sold online at www.workstead.com, and through stores in New York CIty and Los Angeles. Installations of their lighting line can be found at Barneys COOP in Brooklyn and in private residences all over the world. In addition to being profiled on numerous design blogs, WORKSTEAD has been featured in Dwell, Details, Design Bureau, Elle Decor US, Elle Decor Italia, Elle Decor France, and The New York Times.
