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.
In a world full of noise and chaos, there is a profound elegance in the simple elements of design. Add one or one cluster to make a signature interior statement.
Its surprising details create a refined edge to an otherwise iconic shape. In a world full of noise and chaos, there is profound elegance in the simple elements of design.

Neil Logan brought clarity to 85 Franklin: keep what works, highlight the charm, don’t mess it up. Our collaboration with him has grown from Industry City to Kingston, and this project felt like the natural next step. Alongside Neil, project manager Roseanna Smith helped shape the vision and strategy, guiding the space to tell RBW’s story of evolution and what comes next. We caught up with Neil to talk about the design approach behind 85 Franklin, the art of doing less, and how to show off lighting without trying too hard.
