Fabula Regents 4 Light Pendant - Matt Black

A Bold Frame With Light Inside

The Regents pendant flips the conventional lantern design by positioning glass panels around the outside of a sturdy metal frame, making the structure itself part of the visual appeal rather than hidden behind shade. This four light version wears a matt black finish that reads as both graphic and grounded, lending itself to contemporary schemes and traditional settings alike. Each lamp holder sits behind its own glass pane, spreading illumination generously across the space below rather than creating a single pool of brightness.

Choosing Your Finish

Matt black gives this pendant a sophisticated, slightly sculptural quality that works just as well in a minimalist kitchen as it does in a more ornamental hallway. The matte surface absorbs light rather than reflecting it, which means the focus stays on the illumination inside rather than the frame itself. Should you prefer a different aesthetic, the same design is made available across the range in other finishes, so coordinating with existing metalwork in your room is straightforward.

How It Works

Four separate E27 lamp holders, each rated to 20W maximum, sit behind the glass sleeves. This arrangement yields a well balanced light distribution that suits both task and ambient settings. The fitting is wired to Class I standards, which means it requires an earth connection as part of installation. Dimmability is possible if you use dimmable bulbs paired with a compatible dimmer switch, giving you control over the light's intensity once it's in place.

Where It Works Best

With an IP20 rating, this pendant is designed for dry indoor spaces only, making it ideal above a dining table, kitchen island, or as a statement piece in a tall hallway. Its four light output suits rooms where you want reliable, wide ranging illumination without the bulk of a large fabric shade. The matt black finish particularly complements contemporary kitchens and dining rooms with wood or stone elements.

Design Details

The appeal of this pendant lies in its straightforward material honesty: iron and glass in simple combination, with no pretence at ornamentation beyond the geometric arrangement of the panels themselves. The inversion of the typical lantern construction makes it interesting without being fussy, and the matt finish emphasizes the form over any visual decoration. This approach to design works because it lets the shape carry the weight rather than relying on applied detail.

Questions People Ask

Can I dim this light?
Yes, as long as you install dimmable bulbs and pair them with a compatible dimmer switch. Standard LED and incandescent bulbs both come in dimmable versions.

What's the maximum height I need?
From the ceiling to the bottom of the pendant, you're looking at up to 128cm depending on how far you want to drop it. Make sure you have enough clearance above a dining table, typically 60 to 75cm of space between the light and the surface below.

Is this light bathroom safe?
No. The IP20 rating means this pendant is only suitable for dry indoor spaces. For bathroom use you'd need a fitting with at least an IP44 rating.
