Fabula Farnley 3 Tier 80cm Pendant 24 Light - Brass & Clear

Brass Structure, Clear Glass Light

This pendant uses the three tier Farnley form with a warm brass frame and transparent clear glass shades, creating an interesting play between the warmth of the metal and the clarity of the light. The brass frame develops patina over time, growing richer and more characterful, while the clear glass lets the light come through unfiltered and cool. The 24 G9 lamp holders are distributed across the tiers, giving even light across the space, with the brass structure and visible bulbs becoming part of the visual composition.

Choosing Your Finish

The brass and clear combination is unusual, pairing a warm, traditional material with contemporary clear glass. This works well if you want traditional aesthetics but contemporary light quality, or if you're drawn to the look of brass but don't want warm coloured light. The brass develops character through patina as it ages, which adds to rather than detracts from the overall design. The clear glass keeps the focus on the geometric form and the light distribution rather than colour effects.

How It Works

The pendant meets Class I electrical standards and requires an earth connection during installation. The 24 G9 lamp holders (bulbs not included) spread light evenly across the three tiers, with the clear glass providing no colour filtration. This means the light temperature depends entirely on the bulbs you choose, from warm to cool depending on your preference. Dimmable G9 bulbs and a compatible dimmer can control the brightness. The IP20 rating restricts use to dry indoor spaces, unsuitable for bathrooms or humid kitchens.

Where It Works Best

This combination suits eclectic or transitional spaces where you want the richness of brass but the contemporary clarity of unfiltered light. In a dining room where you want to showcase the brass frame as a design element, a hallway where the visible bulbs and metalwork create architectural interest, or a living room in a period property that's been updated with modern sensibilities. The brass warmth and clear light work together to create something that's neither purely traditional nor purely contemporary.

Design Details

The Farnley collection is built on the foundation that proportion creates visual harmony. Here, the brass frame is the visual hero rather than the glass, which reads as a transparent container for light rather than a coloured filter. The brass is unadorned and robust, developing patina that adds richness without requiring maintenance. The clear glass means the structure and geometry of the pendant remains the focus, with the light itself being a functional rather than decorative element.

Questions People Ask

Will the light be cold and clinical?
Not necessarily. The light temperature depends on the bulbs you choose. Warm white G9 bulbs will give a warmer feel despite the clear glass, while the brass frame itself adds warmth to the visual composition.

Can I see the bulbs in this version?
Yes. The clear glass is transparent, so the bulbs are fully visible. The brass frame shows through and around them, making the whole structure visible as a design element.

Is this better or worse than the amber glass version?
Neither is better or worse, they're different. This version emphasises contemporary light and lets you choose the colour temperature through bulb selection. The amber version is warmer and more traditional. Choose based on whether you want control over colour temperature or a designed warmth built in.
