Fabula Chelmsford 8 Light Semi-Flush Light - Polished Chrome, Amber & Champagne Glass

A Three-Dimensional Statement Piece

Eight glass tubes in amber and champagne tones cluster around a polished chrome frame in a dramatic sputnik arrangement, each tube sitting at a different length and angle to create visual depth. The narrow glass cylinders catch light from every direction, building a sculptural effect that reads as a genuine design feature rather than a functional necessity.

Choosing Your Finish

Polished chrome provides a contemporary counterpoint to the warm amber and champagne glass. The combination of cool metalwork and warm glass tones makes this fitting work in both neutral modern schemes and rooms with warmer colour palettes.

How It Works

Eight G9 lamp holders sit within the glass tubes, each holding a bulb up to 10W maximum. The semi flush design sits closer to the ceiling than a pendant, making it practical for rooms with lower ceiling heights or where you want impact without excessive drop. Class I electrical standards apply. Use dimmable bulbs with a compatible dimmer if you want to adjust the light level.

Where It Works Best

This fitting works as a centrepiece over a kitchen island or in the middle of a dining room where you want visual drama and good overall illumination. The three dimensional form suits open plan living spaces well. It performs equally well in a hallway or bedroom where you want the fitting to read as part of the decor. IP20 rating restricts use to dry indoor spaces.

Design Details

The sputnik silhouette is assertive without being crude—the individual glass tubes and their spacing give it visual sophistication. The polished chrome frame is the structural anchor, while the glass provides colour and translucency that changes depending on whether the lights are on or off.

Questions People Ask

Will this fit in my ceiling space?
The semi flush design minimizes the gap between fixture and ceiling, but you do need to factor in the electrical box depth. Ask your electrician to check your space during installation planning.

Is eight bulbs a lot to have on at once?
Eight low-wattage bulbs (at 10W each) consume less energy than you might expect. You can also install lower wattage bulbs or fewer bulbs if you prefer gentler illumination.

What's the visual impact?
Even switched off, the Chelmsford has serious visual presence due to the sculptural sputnik form and the range of colours in the glass tubes. Switched on, it becomes quite a statement piece.
