Fabula Tamworth Single Pendant - Round Open Mouth Shade - French Gold & Chrome Glass

Bright Light Spills Freely from an Open Mouth

This shade is open at the base, which means light doesn't get trapped inside. The French gold frame sits atop a round chrome glass cone that catches the light and lets it spread, rather than directing it all downward. The chrome glass has a cool metallic tone that plays nicely against the warm gold, creating a contemporary look without feeling cold.

Choosing Your Finish

French gold paired with chrome glass is a smart combination that works in both warm and cool interior schemes. The same pendant body comes with other glass options across the range, so if chrome is too cool or metallic for your taste, you can pick a warmer shade in the same design.

How It Works

The open mouth design is the key difference here. Rather than enclosing the light, it lets it escape freely into the room, so you get better spread and more ambient brightness. The G9 lamp sits within the shade, firing light both into the glass and out through the opening. Class I electrical standards apply, so you'll need an earth connection at installation. Dimmable if you use dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer. IP20 rating means it's for dry indoor spaces only, so bathrooms and steam rooms are off limits.

Where It Works Best

The open design and cooler chrome tone make this shade good for spaces where you want brighter, more clinical light. Above a kitchen island or dining table it gives you the luminosity to work or eat comfortably. It equally suits a hallway where you need decent visibility, or a living room where you want the pendant to read as a sculptural piece that doesn't dim the space.

Design Details

The shape is elegant in its simplicity. A straight sided cone with a clean rim, held by a minimal frame. There's no frills or decoration, just honest glass and metal. The chrome glass gives it a slightly industrial quality, which is why it works as well in a contemporary kitchen as it would in a studio or workspace.

Questions People Ask

How much light does the open mouth design add?
Quite a bit. By not enclosing the bulb, you get more light spreading into the room, so it's brighter than a fully enclosed shade of the same size. Good for task areas like kitchen islands.

What is chrome glass?
It's glass that's been treated or coloured to have a silvery, reflective quality. It's cooler in tone than clear or warm coloured glass, and has a slight metallic shimmer.

Can I use this in a modern kitchen?
Yes. The open design and chrome glass give it a clean, contemporary feel that works well with modern cabinetry and stainless steel appliances.
