Robin Reigi: On the Leading Edge of Design Materials

Depending on who you talk to in the design industry these days, this is either a challenging time to be working on interior projects or a clear call for change in how business is being done in construction and design. For Robin Reigi, it is both. She is the owner of Robin Reigi Inc., and for the past twelve years, her company has collaborated with architects like HLW, Gensler and Gruzen Sampton on important projects like the New York Headquarters of Google, Goldman Sachs, Museo del Barrio and Trump SoHo. A constant theme in the company’s product line is innovation and attention to detail.

“We selectively choose materials that we think are underrepresented in other showrooms and in other collections,” said Jennifer Daly, principal of Robin Reigi Inc. “Over the years we have gained a reputation of specializing in materials that are large format, monolithic and customizable. If we carry a commodity product, the final installation usually has little resemblance to looking mass-produced.” With the collective knowledge of installation techniques and performance capabilities of the products they carry, Robin Reigi Inc. offers a unique design flair for each installation. “We are very much driven by our own point of view,” said Ms. Reigi. “I won’t tell a designer that I think something is beautiful if it isn’t in my eyes.”
