Fabula Grove Single Pendant with Flower Bud Shade - Polished Nickel & Grey Braided Cable & Iridescent Faded

Contemporary Shimmer

Polished nickel is sleek and geometric, almost austere in its contemporary crispness. Pair it with iridescent faded glass and something shifts. The colour changing quality of the shade introduces movement and subtlety to what might otherwise feel like a purely functional fitting. The light bounces differently depending on where you stand and what time of day it is, turning the pendants into something you actually notice.

Choosing Your Finish

This combination brings optical interest to a contemporary scheme. Polished nickel stays cool and sharp, while the iridescent faded coating on the glass creates soft colour shifts that feel almost like texture rather than decoration. The grey braided cable completes the cool palette, so the whole thing reads as unified despite the glass doing unexpected optical work. It's for spaces where you appreciate something a touch more crafted than purely functional.

How It Works

A single E27 socket takes a bulb up to 20W, mounted inside the iridescent shade where the coating refracts light in unexpected ways. Dimmable LED bulbs paired with a compatible dimmer allow brightness control, or run it at full strength on a standard circuit. Class I electrical wiring needs an earth connection. At IP20, this is for dry indoor spaces only, unsuitable for bathrooms or high moisture areas.

Where It Works Best

Contemporary homes where architectural simplicity is the foundation but subtle details matter. Bedrooms where you appreciate looking up at something that catches the light, rather than something purely functional. The adjustable drop from 33cm to 182cm lets you position it to catch light from your room's best natural sources, maximizing the colour shift effect. Hung singly for impact rather than in clusters, since the optical qualities are strongest when you focus on one source.

Design Details

The marriage of cool, polished metalwork with soft, colour shifting glass creates dialogue rather than uniformity. The Flower Bud shape works with the iridescent coating to create a piece that reads differently from every angle. Unlike the hand shaped clear or smoked options, the iridescent coating requires technical precision, resulting in more uniform shades while still carrying the character that makes Grove special.

Questions People Ask

How does polished nickel with iridescent glass compare to the gold versions?
Completely different aesthetic. Nickel with iridescent reads contemporary and optically interesting, while the gold versions are warmer and more traditional. Pick based on whether your space leans contemporary or warm.

Will I notice the colour shift much?
Very much, especially if you position it where daylight catches it. Once the bulb is on, the effect is even more pronounced. If you want pure functionality, the clear glass versions are simpler.

Does the iridescent coating fade over time?
No, it's bonded to the glass during manufacture, so the colour shift effect is permanent and won't deteriorate with age or use.
