R & Company has been a pioneer in the discovery, curation, archiving, and presentation of rare, outstanding, and iconic works to people and institutions since 1997. This book, published to commemorate the gallery's twentieth anniversary, provides new critical perspectives on the designers, themes, and emerging trends we have uncovered, rediscovered, and elevated, such as the emergence of a market for Brazilian design, the championing of unheralded American mid-century masters, the development of a material-focused contemporary design program, and the gallery's passion for so-called "difficult" design. 
It is a dynamic overview of the design market's explosive past two decades, as well as its vibrant future, unfolding through essays from leading writers on art, design, and craft, and illustrated by hundreds of archival, new, and behind-the-scenes gallery images, interior photos of collectors' homes, and designers' studios. Wendell Castle, Rogan Gregory, Greta Magnusson Grossman, The Haas Brothers, Sergio Rodrigues, Katie Stout, Studio65, Joaquim Tenreiro, Thaddeus Wolfe, Jeff Zimmerman, and many more are among the designers featured.
