Fabula Cedar 180 x 40cm Linear Pendant 9 Light - Matt Black & Cognac Sculpted Glass

Contemporary Linear Pendant with Warm Glass

Matt black creates a more understated frame than brass, allowing the cognac sculpted glass shades to become the visual focus. The Cedar stretches 180cm, holding nine E14 bulbs distributed evenly along its length, above a kitchen island or dining table. The amber tinted glass softens the light while the dark frame absorbs rather than reflects, creating a more restrained, contemporary aesthetic than the brighter metal finishes offer.

Choosing Your Finish

Matt black works particularly well for kitchens and dining rooms with darker cabinetry, charcoal tiles, or a colour scheme that leans cool and moody. The cognac glass brings back warmth and prevents the fitting from feeling cold or sterile, striking a balance between dark modern frame and glowing amber shades. This combination suits Scandinavian inspired spaces and contemporary industrial schemes equally well.

How It Works

The nine E14 positions are spaced to light the entire 180cm length evenly without dead spots. Each bulb position supports up to 20W. The fitting is wired to Class I electrical standards, requiring an earth connection. The IP20 rating means it must stay in dry indoor environments only, away from bathrooms, damp kitchens, or any areas prone to moisture and condensation.

Where It Works Best

This pendant lives above working surfaces in kitchens and dining areas, where a single central light would leave shadows across an island or table. It's particularly suited to contemporary homes, dark kitchen schemes, and open plan spaces where you want the lighting to read as a deliberate design choice rather than purely functional infrastructure.

Design Details

The matt black finish has a modern, almost minimalist quality that intentionally steps back from the design stage, letting the glass elements carry the visual interest. The cognac tint in the shades provides all the colour and character the fitting needs. The combination feels less decorative and more architectural than the brass versions, appealing to anyone who prefers understated elegance over obvious ornamentation.

Questions People Ask

Will the matt black frame look dated?
No. Matt black is a core contemporary finish that reads as intentional and modern, not dated or tired. It's become the natural choice for minimalist and modern kitchens, much as brass was the dominant finish for the previous decade.

Does the cognac glass work with the dark frame?
Yes, and that's the whole point of this combination. The cognac glass provides warmth and colour where the frame deliberately doesn't, creating a sophisticated contrast rather than allowing everything to disappear into darkness.

Can I clean the matt black easily?
Like all light fittings, dust settles and fingerprints show. Matt black shows less fingerprinting than polished chrome or nickel would, and you can wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning products that might scratch or dull the finish further.
