Rubberworks

A series of rubber wares for daily domestic use.

Sculptor and furniture designer Richard Aybar, the creative force behind RA Workshop, was born in NYC and spent the majority of his childhood in Dominican Republic. He started his practice in 2019 and is currently based in NYC. Throughout his work, he masterfully engages with rubber, wood, metal and other materials. This engagement with materiality is a cornerstone of his work, as he expertly navigates the delicate balance between natural and synthetic elements. His profound understanding of the tactile qualities and historical context of his chosen materials lends a unique depth to his creations.
