Fabula Laurel Single Suspension Kit - Concrete - Frame Only

Raw Industrial Character in Concrete

This suspension kit strips things back to basics: a ceiling rose, cable and E27 lamp holder finished in raw concrete, ready to take any Laurel shade you choose. Unlike traditional polished metalwork, the concrete gives it an unvarnished, industrial aesthetic that suits kitchens and dining spaces with an urban edge. Pair it with a simple glass shade for understated minimalism, or add something more decorative if you want to contrast the rough ceiling element with a smoother shade below.

Choosing Your Finish

Concrete is the standout feature here: it's tactile, honest, and reads very differently from the polished and plated options elsewhere in the Laurel range. The grey tone sits happily in contemporary and industrial schemes, and because it's so neutral, it lets whatever shade you choose become the visual focus. If concrete feels too stark, other finish options are available across the range.

How It Works

This frame accepts an E27 bulb up to 20W maximum, which is not included and sold separately. Once wired up to Class II electrical standards (no earth connection needed), it's dimmable if you use compatible dimmable bulbs and a dimmer switch. The IP20 rating means the complete assembled fixture is designed for dry indoor spaces only. An adaptor may be required depending on which shade you pair it with, and we can advise on that when you're choosing.

Where It Works Best

The concrete finish has particular appeal in kitchens, dining spaces and living rooms with a more pared back or industrial aesthetic. Single pendants work well hung at eye level over a dining table or kitchen island, or clustered in groups for more dramatic effect. It's equally at home in a hallway or bedroom where you want something with real visual presence rather than a disappearing ceiling element.

Design Details

Concrete as a ceiling element is unusual in domestic lighting, which is exactly why it works. The raw texture and grey tone suggest industrial heritage without needing to shout about it. Because this is sold as a frame only, you have complete freedom in how you finish the look: a delicate glass shade creates contrast with the chunky concrete above, while something sculptural or patterned extends the raw aesthetic all the way down.

Questions People Ask

What does the concrete look like in person?
It's a natural grey with a matte, slightly textured surface. It has a handmade quality even though it's manufactured, which is part of its appeal in industrial and contemporary schemes.

Do I need to buy the shade separately?
Yes, this is the frame only. You can choose any compatible Laurel shade or glass diffuser to go with it, which means you can build exactly the look you want.

Can I use this in a minimal space?
Absolutely. The concrete finish suits minimal and pared back interiors particularly well. Pair it with a simple clear glass shade for an understated look.
