Fabula Wordworth 32 Light Oval Pendant - Polished Nickel & Smoke Glass

Substantial Scale and Faceted Light Play

This 32 light oval pendant commands any room it inhabits. Polished nickel frames hold 32 individually faceted smoke glass shades, each one moulded into a three dimensional profile that catches and scatters light throughout the fitting. Once fitted with tubular lamps, the grooves running through the glass create layers of warm illumination rather than a single bright spot, giving the whole piece real presence overhead.

Choosing Your Finish

Polished nickel provides a cool contemporary aesthetic that works equally well in modern spaces and those with more traditional leanings. The smoke glass carries a subtle grey tone that softens the light output, creating a refined atmosphere without harshness. The combination reads as understated elegance rather than statement brightness, suiting living rooms and open plan kitchens where you want impact without glare.

How It Works

This fitting takes 32 E27 tubular lamps, each rated at 20W maximum. It's wired to Class I electrical standards, meaning it requires an earth connection as part of the installation. The IP20 rating indicates it's designed for dry indoor areas only and is not splash resistant, so it should be kept away from damp environments. With dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer, the entire fitting can be dimmed to suit different times of day and moods.

Where It Works Best

Given its substantial scale, this pendant works best as a genuine focal point over a dining table, in a double height hallway, or above a staircase where it can be appreciated from multiple levels. The 120cm diameter and considerable weight mean it needs room to breathe, so it's ideal for homes with generous ceiling heights. It suits living rooms and open plan spaces where the design itself becomes a key part of the interior scheme.

Design Details

The craftsmanship lies in the balance between the solid iron frame and the 32 individually faceted glass shades. Each shade isn't purely decorative: the faceting changes how light scatters and refracts through the fitting, creating visual texture and depth that a simple smooth shade could never achieve. The repetition of the shape and the scale of the whole piece create a rhythmic, balanced composition that reads as contemporary whilst maintaining classical proportions.
