R & Company

What R & Company does

R & Company is a privately-held collectible design gallery headquartered in New York City, founded in 1996 by Zesty Meyers and Evan Snyderman. The gallery exhibits and sells twentieth and twenty-first-century design objects across categories including seating, lighting, tables, storage, objects, textiles, jewelry, wallwork, sculpture, beds, and doors and screens, representing a curated roster of international designers such as the Haas Brothers, Roberto Lugo, Jeff Zimmerman, Katie Stout, Hun Chung Lee, Joyce Lin, Jolie Ngo, and Francesca DiMattio. Beyond its primary Tribeca gallery at 82 Franklin Street and a secondary space at 64 White Street, R & Company participates in international art and design fairs (notably Design Miami/ and Masterpiece London), runs a Design & Trade services program for interior designers and architects, produces publications and catalogs through the R & Company Bookshop, and maintains a permanent library and archives collection of approximately 10,000 items spanning 1900 to the present.

The gallery's revenue model is built on one-off sales of unique or limited-edition collectible design pieces on a quote-based pricing structure ('Price available on request'), supplemented by fair-driven transactions and institutional commissions. Customer segments include private collectors (primary), interior designers and architects (primary), and museums and cultural institutions (secondary). The most prominent recent institutional engagement is the 2026 Madison Square Park Conservancy-commissioned public art exhibition by Roberto Lugo, 'Alfarero del Barrio (Village Potter).' Operations are founder-led, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding history, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is multi-channel — physical gallery, international fairs, direct collector relationships, and digital presence via website and social media — though no online sales channel exists. The gallery functions primarily as a curatorial and market-making platform, deriving competitive advantage from founder reputation, the breadth and quality of its designer roster, its scholarly archive, and its embedded position in the global collectible design ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Friedman Benda: New York-based gallery focused on contemporary and collectible design, representing many of the same caliber of emerging and established designers as R & Company. Both compete for the same collectors, interior designers, and museum clients at the same fairs.
• The Future Perfect: Design gallery with locations in New York, San Francisco, and London specializing in collectible design and limited-edition works by designers. Directly comparable offering (gallery sales of collectible design) and shared collector base.
• Galerie Kreo: Paris- and London-based gallery specializing in limited-edition and collectible design by contemporary designers. Directly competes in the same international design fair circuit and serves many of the same institutional and private collectors as R & Company.
• Nilufar Gallery: Milan-based gallery specializing in collectible design, vintage 20th-century pieces, and limited-edition contemporary works. Peer because the gallery overlaps on the same categories (furniture, lighting, objects) and competes for international design collectors at fairs like Design Miami/.
• Galerie Patrick Seguin: Paris-based gallery specializing in collectible design from the 20th century, particularly Jean Prouvé and Charlotte Perriand. Directly comparable to R & Company's emphasis on rare and significant twentieth-century collectible design works.
• Carpenter's Workshop Gallery: Gallery with locations in Paris, London, and New York representing collectible design and limited-edition works. Overlaps strongly with R & Company's design categories and cross-sells to the same architect and interior designer clients.
• Gallery All: Los Angeles-based gallery showcasing contemporary collectible design by emerging and established designers. Directly comparable in being a design-focused primary gallery with a similar product and price positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Wright auction house: Established New York auction house with a dedicated design department selling collectible 20th- and 21st-century furniture and decorative arts. A secondary-market venue whose roster and categories overlap with R & Company's, providing both a market reference and indirect competition.
• Phillips (design department): Global auction house with dedicated Design and Editions auctions covering collectible 20th-century and contemporary design. Comparable as a sales channel for the same collector base that R & Company cultivates, but at the secondary/auction level rather than primary gallery.

Others

• Design Miami/: Designer fair and marketplace for collectible design whose creation was driven in part by R & Company's founders. Functions as both a key sales channel for R & Company and a marketplace where competing galleries transact, making it a critical ecosystem partner and indirect competitor.
