Fabula Cedar 250 x 40cm Linear Pendant 13 Light - Polished Nickel & Cognac Sculpted Glass

Cool Metal, Warm Light

Polished nickel reads more contemporary and silvery than brass, giving the Cedar pendant a cooler metallic character. But thread the light through cognac coloured glass shades and the whole effect shifts: the pale metal frame and the deep amber glass create a tension and balance that makes the fitting more visually interesting than either tone on its own. At 250cm long with thirteen E14 holders, it's still a statement piece, but one that feels refined rather than showy.

Choosing Your Finish

Polished nickel has a clean brightness without being brassy or yellow. Cognac glass is rich and warm. Together they work well in kitchens that have stainless steel or chrome fixtures, or in any contemporary space where you want metal detail work to catch the light. If you prefer a warmer or cooler balance, the Cedar comes in other finish combinations.

How It Works

All thirteen bulb holders are wired to Class I electrical standards, requiring an earth connection as part of installation. The polished nickel finish stays clean looking even after years of use, though fingerprints can occasionally show on highly polished surfaces. The fitting can hang anywhere between 50cm and 250cm from the ceiling depending on your ceiling height and room proportion.

Where It Works Best

Install this above a kitchen island with steel worktops, or over a dining table in a contemporary kitchen where metal finishes are already part of the design scheme. The colour balance between cool metal and warm glass makes it feel at home in both minimal and more traditional kitchens with mixed metalwork.

Design Details

Polished nickel doesn't feel as warm as brass, which is what gives this combination its visual play. The cognac glass shades are sculpted with deep fluting that catches light and scatters it outward, so the effect is diffuse rather than spotlit. The depth of the glass colour variation means the light changes depending on the time of day and the angle you view it from.

Questions People Ask

Will the polished nickel tarnish or need regular polishing?
No. Modern polished nickel plating is durable and doesn't tarnish the way silver does. An occasional wipe with a dry cloth keeps it looking pristine, and that's really all that's needed.

Does polished nickel work with vintage or traditional kitchens?
Yes, it does, particularly in kitchens that already have chrome or steel appliances. The combination of the clean metal with the warm cognac glass actually bridges contemporary and traditional styles nicely.

How does this compare to the brass version?
Brass is warmer and more retro feeling. Polished nickel is cooler and more contemporary. Both versions with cognac glass pair cool frames with warm light, just in different colour registers.
