Fabula Wordworth 16 Light Round Pendant - Matt Black & Smoke Glass

A Dramatic Sixteen Piece Statement for High Ceilings

Scaling up the Wordworth concept to sixteen individual glass pieces creates something that genuinely demands attention. The smoke tinted glass gives the light a moodier, more atmospheric quality than the clear or champagne versions, while the matt black frame provides a bold, graphic outline that reads as a serious design statement rather than functional lighting.

Choosing Your Finish

Matt black is striking enough that it stays visually prominent even when the lights are on, creating a strong contemporary or industrial aesthetic. The smoke glass softens the light cast and adds a sophisticated dimming effect, meaning 16 bulbs feel warmer than the same setup in clear glass. This colour combination is specific to this large scale Wordworth pendant.

How It Works

Sixteen E27 tubular bulbs, supplied separately, provide the light source, with each glass piece filtering that light through its smoke tint. The diffusion created by having sixteen separate sources means the light is even and comfortable to sit beneath, without any single bright spot dominating. It's wired to Class I electrical standards, requiring an earth connection. The IP20 rating means it's suitable for dry indoor areas only.

Where It Works Best

This pendant needs genuine space and height to work properly, so it's most at home in a double height stairwell, above a long dining table, or in an open plan living area with generous ceiling height. The dramatic look suits more daring interior schemes where you want the lighting to be an art piece as much as a functional element. Dark or moody room schemes benefit from the atmospheric quality of the smoke glass.

Design Details

Sixteen moulded glass triquetra shapes, each one hand finished, create a substantial sculptural form. The matt black iron frame is powder coated to a deep, velvety finish that doesn't reflect light the way polished metal would, keeping the visual emphasis on the glass and the light passing through it rather than on the structure itself.

Questions People Ask

Is it heavy? Will my ceiling take it?
Yes, it weighs 15kg, so you'll need a qualified electrician to assess your ceiling's load bearing capacity before installation. This isn't a DIY job.

How many people do I need to install this?
At least two, due to the size and weight. You'll also need a qualified electrician to handle the wiring and earth connection.

Are the bulbs included?
No, you'll need to source sixteen E27 bulbs separately, which is a significant investment.
