Fabula Wordworth 32 Light Vertical Oval Pendant - Brown Oxide & Clear Glass

Tall Proportion with Warm, Clear Illumination

This vertical oval pendant stretches taller than it is wide, creating an altogether different visual presence. Brown oxide frames hold 32 faceted shades in clear glass, giving maximum brightness through the transparent material whilst the warm finish prevents the overall effect from feeling cold or stark. The 120cm height and narrower 75cm width suit tall spaces and hallways where a horizontal orientation would feel wrong.

Choosing Your Finish

Brown oxide paired with clear glass creates a sophisticated warmth without density: the warmth of the frame contrasts beautifully with the transparency of the glass, so light reads as both bright and inviting. This combination works well in contemporary spaces that want warmth, in farmhouse kitchens, and in transitional interiors where you're mixing old and new elements. The vertical proportion gives it an architectural quality that horizontal ovals can't match.

How It Works

Thirty two E27 tubular lamps, each rated at 20W maximum, power this pendant. Class I electrical wiring requires an earth connection during installation. The IP20 rating designates it for dry indoor use only and means it should stay away from moisture sources like steam or direct water splash. The clear glass allows maximum light transmission, so your choice of warm versus cool bulb colour will significantly affect the overall atmosphere. Dimmable bulbs paired with a compatible dimmer provide flexibility in mood.

Where It Works Best

The vertical oval shape suits tall spaces where width is limited but height isn't, such as narrow hallways, stairwells with high ceilings, or over a narrow console table. The proportions feel elegant rather than cramped, and the 120cm height gives it presence without requiring the massive 120cm+ width that horizontal ovals need. The clear glass means it's particularly good in spaces where you want maximum light distribution.

Design Details

Proportion is everything here: a vertical oval reads differently than horizontal or round forms, carrying an almost figurative quality. The 32 faceted shades arranged along this taller axis create a sense of ascension and movement upward rather than outward. Brown oxide deepens the impression of solidity without making it feel heavy. This is one of the more distinctive forms in the range, perfect for spaces where you want a pendant that feels unique.

Questions People Ask

Why would I choose this over the wider oval or round versions?
The vertical oval works in narrow spaces where horizontal pendants would feel oversized. It's perfect for tall hallways, stairwells, or above narrow console tables where you still want a statement light.

Is clear glass going to feel too bright?
Clear glass allows maximum light through, so your bulb choice matters. Warm toned tubular bulbs will soften any brightness and the warm frame adds warmth too, so the overall effect is bright without feeling harsh.

How much ceiling clearance do I need?
The fitting itself is 120cm tall, and it can drop up to 420cm, so you need adequate space. Most installations work well with at least 2.4 metres of clearance above the fitting.
