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

Softened Light Through Smoke Glass

This version of the three tier Farnley pendant pairs a satin black frame with smoke tinted glass shades, creating a diffused light that sits between the clarity of transparent glass and the warmth of amber. The grey smoke colour softens the light without adding the golden tones that warmer tints bring, making it work well in contemporary schemes that want softness without colour shift. The 24 G9 lamp holders across the tiers deliver light evenly into the room beneath, with the bulbs themselves visible but softened by the smoke glass layer.

Choosing Your Finish

Smoke glass is a practical choice for spaces where you want gentle, diffused light without picking a strong colour temperature. The satin black frame stays neutral and visually restrained, letting the smoke grey do the work of moderating the light. It's neither as contemporary feeling as clear glass nor as cosy as amber, making it a good middle ground if you want soft light but don't want to commit to a warmer palette. Other glass and frame combinations exist within the Farnley range for different aesthetic preferences.

How It Works

Wired to Class I standards, this pendant requires an earth connection for installation. The 24 G9 bulbs (not included) are spread across the three tiers, delivering a soft, even light throughout the space rather than sharp hotspots. The smoke glass diffuses the light, so even relatively bright bulbs read as gentle and approachable. Dimmable G9 bulbs can be used with a compatible dimmer for variable light control. The IP20 rating indicates this is for dry indoor spaces only, making it suitable for living areas but not bathrooms or heavily humid kitchens.

Where It Works Best

This pendant suits large spaces with good ceiling height, above a dining table, in generous living rooms, or in hallways where you want a focal point. The smoke glass makes it particularly good in contemporary or modern schemes where you want to soften the light without introducing colour, or in eclectic interiors where you want something that doesn't push too hard in any direction. The diffused quality also makes it forgiving of varying bulb colour temperatures, so if you mix warm and cool bulbs by accident, the smoke glass softens the difference.

Design Details

The Farnley collection is centred on the idea that three circles of different sizes, hung at the correct intervals, create visual rhythm. With smoke glass, the frame recedes slightly and the light becomes the focus, creating a softer overall presence than the clear glass version. The satin black is durable and ages with character, while the smoke grey is a neutral bridge between different lighting approaches. The result is a fitting that works across many interior styles without demanding attention or imposing a particular aesthetic direction.

Questions People Ask

What's the difference between smoke and amber glass?
Amber glass adds warmth and golden tones to the light, while smoke glass diffuses the light without colour shift. Smoke is greyer and more neutral, suiting contemporary schemes where you want softness without warmth.

Can I use this with both warm and cool bulbs?
Yes. The smoke glass softens both, so if you have a mix of colour temperatures in the different tiers, the glass will blur the differences and make the overall effect feel harmonious.

Is this suitable for reading light?
It depends on how close you are. The 24 bulbs deliver good light, and the diffusion is gentle rather than dim. If this pendant is your main light source at a dining table, it should be adequate. If you need focused task light for reading, you'd probably benefit from an additional table lamp or a dedicated reading fixture.
