Fabula Tamworth Single Pendant - Medium Cylinder Shade - Polished Chrome & Iridescent Glass

Prismatic Colour in a Medium Cylinder

This pendant features a medium cylinder shade in iridescent glass that shifts subtly depending on how the light hits it. Paired with a polished chrome frame, it's a fitting that catches the eye as much for how it changes through the day as for its shape. The iridescent effect means it's never quite the same colour twice, picking up flecks that make it richer and more complex than a plain glass shade.

Choosing Your Finish

Polished chrome and iridescent glass is an uncommon combination that gives the pendant real presence. The same cylinder shape is available in other glass finishes across the range, so if you prefer something more neutral, there are clear or tinted options that keep the proportions.

How It Works

The medium cylinder holds a G9 lamp holder at its centre, firing light through the iridescent glass into the room. The colour shifting quality of the glass means the pendant looks different in daylight versus artificial light, and changes subtly throughout the day as the angle of natural light shifts. Class I electrical standards apply, so an earth connection is needed at installation. It's dimmable when paired with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer. IP20 rating restricts it to dry indoor spaces, so it's not for bathrooms or steam rooms.

Where It Works Best

The larger cylinder size and distinctive iridescent glass make this a statement piece, so it works well as a focal point above a kitchen island or dining table. It's equally striking as a single pendant in a hallway or living room where you want a fitting that draws attention. The colour shifting keeps it interesting to look at, so it repays being hung where people will see it regularly.

Design Details

Iridescent glass is made to catch and refract light in subtle ways, so the colour you see depends on the angle and the light source. This makes it richer than a simply coloured glass, and more engaging than transparent. Paired with clean polished chrome, the whole effect is contemporary with a hint of magic.

Questions People Ask

What is iridescent glass?
It's glass that's been treated to have a colour shifting quality. Depending on the angle and light source, you see different hues and flecks of colour. It's more complex and interesting than a single colour.

Will the colour stay the same?
No, that's the point. The iridescent finish means the pendant shifts subtly throughout the day as natural light changes. It keeps the fitting visually engaging.

Is this too decorative for a kitchen?
Not at all. The polished chrome frame keeps it contemporary and sharp, so the iridescent glass reads as a design feature rather than anything fussy or ornamental.
