New York-based lighting manufacturer RBW has launched Spool, a pendant lighting collection created in collaboration with designer Kelly Harris Smith. Spool combines illumination and acoustic enhancement.
Designed to manage the auditory experience in busy environments, Spool reduces reflections and disruptions across low, medium and high-frequency soundwaves. The unit uses Harris Smith’s Upbeat textiles—crafted from 51 percent post-consumer recycled polyester for improved sustainability.
Spool is available in two widths, two heights and two fabric options: Crosswalk Fabric, a neutral gray, and Playground Fabric, a royal blue. Additional colors are set to be launched by the end of this year.
