Fabula Laurel Large Cylindrical Cone Shade - Opal Glass - Shade Only

Soft Light in Sculptural Glass

This large cylindrical cone is part of the Laurel range and works across multiple Laurel pendant and surface mounts thanks to the standardized fitting system. Made from opal glass with a naturally frosted surface, it diffuses light into a soft, even spread rather than letting it concentrate into a bright spot. It's perfect as a replacement if you want a different look, or as a spare to rotate between fittings in the same room.

Choosing Your Finish

Opal glass sits between crystal clear and heavily frosted: it has enough texture to diffuse light beautifully without looking opaque or dull. The white tint in the glass itself adds a warmth to the diffused light, making it especially suited to dining spaces and living rooms where you want a generous, welcoming glow rather than a tight downbeam.

How It Works

This is a passive component—there's no electricity in the shade itself. It works by diffusing light from whatever bulb and fitting you pair it with, spreading illumination across a wider area and softening the output. The IP20 rating applies to the assembled fixture once it's mounted, and means the complete light is designed for dry indoor spaces. The shade sits on the Laurel frame using the standardized clip system that works with all Laurel variants, making it genuinely plug and play on any compatible pendant or surface mount.

Where It Works Best

This shade is especially good hanging above a dining table or kitchen island, where the diffused light creates an inviting atmosphere without glare. It's equally at home in a bedroom, living room or hallway pendant, and the large cylindrical height means it has a real presence as a design element rather than disappearing visually.

Design Details

Cylindrical cones in opal glass have a timeless quality: they're sculptural enough to notice but not so distinctive that they clash with other styles. The frosted surface catches light in a soft way, and the material itself is robust without feeling industrial. Because it's part of the Laurel system, you can pair it with different frames and ring options in the collection, meaning a single shade works across multiple setups if you want consistency across different rooms or fittings.

Questions People Ask

Will this fit my existing Laurel pendant?
If your current pendant or surface mount is part of the Laurel range, yes. The Laurel system uses a standardized clip fitting, so any Laurel shade works with any Laurel frame.

What makes opal glass different from clear or frosted?
Opal glass sits between the two: it has enough texture to diffuse light beautifully and soften the output, but it's not so heavily frosted that it looks opaque. The white tint in the material itself adds warmth to the diffused light.

Is this a shade or a complete light?
This is the shade only. You'll need to pair it with a Laurel frame and a compatible bulb holder to make a working fixture.
