Fabula Austen Small Single Pendant - Painted Gold & Sand Black

Tapered Metal Framework, Soft Sideways Glow

This pendant is built from a cluster of thin iron strips welded together into a tapering shape, with gaps throughout that let light spill sideways rather than drive straight down. The result is a soft, scattered glow that reads more as ambient texture than task lighting. Finished in painted gold with touches of sand black, it has a contemporary feel and sits comfortably against both dark and light interiors.

Choosing Your Finish

The painted gold with sand black accents creates a warm, modern aesthetic. The same fitting is available in other finishes across the range, so you can match it to existing metalwork elsewhere in your room.

How It Works

One E27 lamp holder gives you flexibility in choosing bulb wattage and colour temperature. The fitting is wired to Class I electrical standards, requiring an earth connection during installation. The IP20 rating means it's designed for dry indoor environments only and isn't suitable for bathrooms or other damp locations.

Where It Works Best

This pendant suits living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways and stairwells. Hung singly it makes a gentle focal point, but three grouped at staggered heights over a dining table or island creates visual rhythm without overwhelming the space.

Design Details

The tapering form and open ironwork construction give the pendant visual interest that a simple closed shade cannot achieve. The deliberately placed gaps between the metal strips are integral to how light disperses, allowing the fitting to feel airy despite being welded as a single solid structure.
