Silent Sculpture

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.

Balanced Sound, Elevated Design

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.

By the Numbers

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.

Aural Delight

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.

Made from 51% post-consumer recycled polyester and woven in North America, Upbeat combines sustainability with sophisticated design.
