Fabula Epping Single Pendant - 30cm Bell Glass Shade - Polished Nickel & Clear Glass

Simplicity and Clean Lines Over a Table

The Epping pendant pairs a clean bell shaped glass shade with polished nickel hardware, creating a look that feels contemporary without any fussiness. The 30cm clear glass shade is sized to spread light evenly across a surface rather than creating a single hot spot directly below, making it practical for everyday use as well as visually straightforward in almost any room.

Choosing Your Finish

Polished nickel is a neutral metallic finish that sits comfortably in both contemporary spaces and more traditional schemes, working well against warm or cool wall tones. The clear glass means the light passes through without any colour tint, though the shape of the bell itself creates visual interest even when the pendant isn't switched on. Other finishes are available across the Epping range if you'd prefer a different metal tone to match your existing fixtures.

How It Works

A single E27 GLS lamp holder sits inside the shade, taking standard bulbs up to 60W (bulbs not included). The wide bell shape means light disperses across a larger area beneath the pendant rather than pooling in a narrow circle, which is useful for task lighting above work surfaces. It's fully dimmable when paired with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The pendant is wired to Class I standards, requiring an earth connection during installation. The IP20 rating means it's designed for dry indoor use and not resistant to water splash.

Where It Works Best

This is a natural fit hung above a kitchen island, breakfast bar or dining table as a single pendant, and works equally well clustered in twos or threes to light a wider worktop. The straightforward design means it blends into hallways and living rooms where you want ceiling light without visual clutter. For dining spaces, the clean lines keep the focus on the table and what's on it rather than drawing attention to the fitting itself. Keep it away from very humid kitchens or anywhere splashing water is likely, as the IP20 rating doesn't protect against moisture.

Design Details

The appeal of the Epping lies in restraint rather than decoration. A simple bell shape in clear glass has enough form to be visually satisfying without the visual weight of a heavier fitting, and the polished nickel sits somewhere between warm and cool metalwork without leaning heavily toward either. The design language here is about letting the light and the room's other elements do the talking, which is why this pendant works as well in a minimalist space as it does in a more traditionally appointed dining room.

Questions People Ask

How many of these should I hang above my dining table?
It depends on the width of your table. A single Epping works well above a small to medium table (around 100cm wide), while two or three are better for longer tables. Your electrician can advise based on your space.

Can I use this in a kitchen where there's steam from cooking?
The IP20 rating means it's not protected against water splash or steam, so kitchens where lots of moisture builds up aren't ideal. An open plan living space with occasional cooking is fine, but for very steamy kitchens, you'd want to choose a higher rated fitting.

Will this pendant look right in a traditional room?
Yes. Although the design is clean and contemporary, the simple bell shape has enough classical reference to sit comfortably in traditional or mixed style schemes. It's a design that works because it stays understated rather than trendy.
