Fabula Tamworth Single Pendant - Short Cylinder Shade - Polished Chrome & Cognac Glass

Warm Cognac in a Compact, Sleek Cylinder

This version of the Tamworth pendant uses a shorter cylinder shade in warm cognac glass, held in a polished chrome fitting that maintains a sleek, contemporary aesthetic. The proportions are more compact than the tall cylinder, making it a good choice when you want the pendant to read as minimalist rather than sculptural.

Choosing Your Finish

The polished chrome finish gives the fitting a bright, reflective quality that contrasts nicely with the warm amber tones of the cognac glass. This same short cylinder design comes in other glass colours and finishes within the Tamworth collection, so alternatives exist if you prefer a different aesthetic.

How It Works

The fitting is wired to Class I electrical standards, so an earth connection is needed during installation. Dimmability depends on your bulb choice: dimmable bulbs paired with a compatible dimmer will let you adjust the light level. The shorter proportions mean the light spread is similar to the tall version but with less visual height.

Where It Works Best

Its neat proportions make it ideal for clustering over a kitchen island at staggered heights, where a few grouped pendants create a unified look over the work surface. It works equally well above a dining table or breakfast bar where you want shorter drops than some of the taller shades in the range, or in any space where you need clean line pendant lighting.

Design Details

Cognac glass is a warm amber coloured glass that sits between clear and fully tinted, allowing light to pass through while adding warmth and colour to the space. The cylindrical shape is a classic design form that feels timeless rather than trendy. Polished chrome is a neutral finish that lets the glass colour be the visual focus of the pendant.

Questions People Ask

What's the difference between the short and tall cylinders?
The short version is less elongated, so it works better when you want the pendant to be functional rather than a design statement. The tall cylinder makes more visual impact, while the short one sits more quietly in the space.

How many of these should I hang over an island?
That depends on island length. Most people use two or three pendants spaced roughly evenly, hung at slightly different heights for visual interest. Your electrician can advise on safe spacing and electrical requirements.

Will the cognac glass limit how bright the light is?
The cognac tint will warm and soften the light slightly, but it won't dramatically reduce brightness. Your actual light level will depend on the bulb wattage you choose.
