Fabula Kendon Single Wall Lamp - Black & Smoke Fade Glass

Ombre Glass That Works as Hard as the Bulb Inside

This wall lamp wraps a wide cylinder of ombre glass around a single E27 lamp holder, with the glass fading gradually from black at the top into a smoky tint lower down. The effect means the glass itself becomes a design feature, not just a container for the light source. Mounted on a black wall plate, it throws light both upward and downward, so the tinted glass catches and disperses the glow in equal measure.

Choosing Your Finish

The black and smoke gradient is a sophisticated neutral that reads modern without feeling cold. If this aesthetic appeals to you, the same ombre effect is available across other pieces in the Kendon range, allowing pendants or table lamps to be matched in the same finish.

How It Works

One E27 socket sits inside the glass cylinder, giving you control over colour temperature and brightness through bulb choice. The fitting is wired to Class II electrical standards, which means it doesn't require an earth connection during installation. The IP20 rating indicates this is for dry indoor environments and isn't suitable for bathrooms or damp areas.

Where It Works Best

This lamp works well in hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and dining rooms. The ombre effect adds character to a wall that might otherwise feel plain, making it just as much a design feature as functional lighting. The rocker switch on the fitting makes operation straightforward.

Design Details

The ombre gradient is achieved through the glass manufacturing process, creating a smooth transition rather than a defined edge between the two tones. The cylinder shape and wall mounting create an interesting interplay between the upward and downward spread of light, with the glass gradient affecting how that light is perceived from different angles. The combination of black metal and graduated glass keeps the overall look contemporary and restrained.

Questions People Ask

What's the difference between Class I and Class II wiring?
Class II doesn't require an earth connection, making installation simpler and safer. This fitting uses Class II standards, so the electrician won't need to run earthing cable.

Does the ombre glass change colour depending on the bulb?
Yes. The gradient from black to smoke becomes more or less pronounced depending on the colour temperature of the bulb you choose, and how bright the light is.

Can I match this with other Kendon pieces?
Yes, the same black and smoke ombre finish is available on Kendon pendants and table lamps, so you can bring the look through a whole room.
