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

Clean Lines with Visible Light Sources

The same graduated three tier design as the larger Farnley pendants, stepping from 40cm to 60cm to 80cm, paired here with satin black metalwork and transparent clear glass shades. Because the glass is transparent rather than tinted, the G9 bulbs themselves become part of the visual story, catching the eye with their geometric form. This version suits rooms where you want the light source visible and a cooler colour temperature, creating a more contemporary aesthetic than the warmer amber or smoke options.

Choosing Your Finish

The satin black frame is a calm, unassuming backdrop for the clear glass, which means whatever light sits in those shades is what the eye registers. There's no filter or colour shift, just straightforward transparency. This pairing reads as contemporary and unfussy, working equally well in modern minimalist spaces or more traditional rooms that happen to favour cool light temperatures. Other finishes and glass colours are available within the Farnley range if you prefer a warmer or more diffused effect.

How It Works

The fitting is built to Class I electrical standards, meaning an earth connection is required as part of the installation. Twenty four G9 lamp holders are positioned across the three tiers (bulbs not included), delivering light evenly across the area below. The transparent glass doesn't filter or warm the light, so what you see is what you get from your chosen bulbs. Dimmable G9 bulbs work with this fitting if you want variable brightness, though the lamp position visibility means dimmed bulbs are particularly noticeable. The IP20 rating means it stays indoors and away from moisture, so it's suited to living spaces but not bathrooms or damp kitchens.

Where It Works Best

This pendant works in large rooms with proper ceiling height, above a dining table, in a spacious living area, or suspended from an entrance hall ceiling. The clear glass doesn't create the warm golden glow of amber, nor the diffused softer light of smoke glass, so it's best chosen for spaces where you value clean contemporary lines and clear visibility of the light source itself. It pairs naturally with modern or minimalist schemes, though the satin black frame gives it enough restraint to sit comfortably in eclectic or traditional interiors too.

Design Details

The Farnley collection is built on the idea that geometric proportion and spacing create visual balance. In this clear glass version, the frame and the bulbs become equals in the design, rather than the frame supporting decorative glass. The satin black is robust and develops character over time, while the clear glass remains transparent and unadorned. The overall effect is one of clarity and order, with nothing disguised or softened, letting the clean geometry and robust construction carry the design interest.

Questions People Ask

Can I see the bulbs when the light is off?
Yes. The clear glass is transparent, so the G9 bulbs themselves are visible. This is a design feature rather than something to hide, working particularly well if you choose decorative or vintage style G9 bulbs that have visual appeal in their own right.

Is this brighter than the amber glass version?
Not necessarily brighter in terms of total lumens, but it reads as brighter because the clear glass doesn't warm or diffuse the light. The light comes straight through without colour shift, so it feels crisper and more direct.

Will it work in a traditional room?
Yes, though it's typically more at home in contemporary schemes. The satin black frame is neutral enough to work almost anywhere, but the transparent glass and visible bulbs might feel too modern for very traditional interiors. If you're drawn to that look but unsure, try pairing it with warm, decorative bulbs rather than plain white ones.
