Spool delivers an acoustic performance element while taking up a sculptural presence in any space, especially in groups. Using a variety of optic configurations, Spool finds its elemental niche in your designs. Add one or a cluster to make a signature interior statement.
More than just a visual anchor, Spool redefines sound absorption. Each unit traps and disperses sound waves, reducing reverberation to ensure voice clarity and peace. Arrange as a solitary statement or an ensemble, and let sound take a quiet backseat.
Spool’s acoustic performance goes beyond absorption, actively reshaping sound. Designed for clarity, each Spool pendant captures mid- and high-frequency sounds with precision. It’s an artful balance of design and sound control that transforms every space into a calm, resonant haven.
Engineered for balanced acoustic control, delivering an NRC and SAA rating of 0.65, Spool absorbs 65% of reflected sound across a broad frequency spectrum, effectively reducing noise and controlling reverberation. This impressive performance transforms busy environments into calm, acoustically optimized spaces.
Enrich the soundscape of any space with lush, clear audio. Spool ensures a pleasant acoustic experience by mitigating reflections and disruptions of low, medium, and high-frequency soundwaves.

The end of the year is a time to reflect on a year of growth, collaboration, and hard work. In December 2024, we brought the team together at Chleo’s in Kingston for our annual holiday gathering. Over great food and lively conversation, we celebrated the achievements of the year and the people who made them possible. At RBW, we believe in the power of light to create atmosphere — and this is the team behind it.—and this is the team that brings that vision to life.
