Fabula Deacon Pendant 5 Light - Satin Black Iridescent Plated Glass

Drama and Shimmer in Satin Black

This five light pendant pairs slender arms in matte satin black with iridescent plated glass, creating a fixture that draws the eye but never dominates the room. The glass shifts subtly as you move around it, catching the light and throwing soft shimmers across the walls, while the black frame keeps the overall effect contemporary and restrained.

Choosing Your Finish

The satin black finish is a contemporary take on traditional dark metals, offering a softer appearance than high polish without the cold feel of chrome or brushed steel. The iridescent plating on the glass means each piece is slightly unique, with colour variations that become apparent only in certain light conditions.

How It Works

Five G9 lamp holders are spaced around the pendant head, each taking bulbs of 10W maximum, giving good light spread without requiring a central hotspot. The fitting is dimmable if you use dimmable bulbs with a compatible dimmer, letting you adjust the atmosphere as needed. It's wired to Class I standards, meaning it needs an earth connection during installation. The IP20 rating means it's designed for dry indoor spaces only.

Where It Works Best

This pendant is ideal hung above a dining table, in a living room as a focal point, or in a bedroom where you want a statement fitting that doesn't feel too formal. The multiple arms and wide spread mean it suits rooms where you need good general lighting as well as visual interest. Keep it in dry rooms without high moisture or splashing water.

Design Details

The appeal of this piece lies in the contrast between the understated matte black metalwork and the subtle play of light across the iridescent glass. The engineering is straightforward but solid, with each arm finished to match and the glass hand placed to ensure consistency across the fitting. This balance of restraint and visual texture is what prevents it from feeling overstated despite its five light arms.

Questions People Ask

What's the difference between the iridescent and standard glass options?
The iridescent plating creates a shift in colour tone as you look at the glass from different angles, catching light in a subtle, shimmering way. Standard glass (if available) would give you a clearer view of the light source itself.

Can I use this in my kitchen?
Yes, it works well in kitchens as long as it's positioned away from steam and water splashing directly onto it, since it's rated IP20 for dry indoor use only.

Can I dim the lights?
Yes, as long as you choose dimmable G9 bulbs and pair them with a compatible dimmer switch. Not all G9 bulbs are dimmable, so check when buying.
