Akoya pendant, matte white 16" shade
Akoya
After revisiting one of its best-selling pendants, RBW presents the new and improved Akoya. The original hand-blown, opal glass bulb now boasts increased technical capabilities, as well as more refined perforations to its sheer, spun-aluminum shade. With Akoya’s shades now fabricated in North America, we’ve also cut down our carbon footprint by manufacturing closer to home.
Inside Akoya
Akoya’s newly engineered, state-of-the-art lighting module offers advanced technical capabilities, with increased lumen output and the efficient LED power consumption of only 8.7 watts.
Variety and Versatility
Our versatile pendant offers a variety of options in size, color temperature, and finish. Choose from a 16" or 22" shade, color temperature from warm to neutral white, a powder coat in a shade from a curated color library or your own custom color.
Fine perforations give Akoya’s spun-aluminum shade the look of sheer weightlessness.
