Mantra Nora 3 Light Adjustable Round Pendant - Black, Black Marble & Chrome Glass With Frosted Inner

Three Shades, One Staggered Fall

The Nora 3 Light pendant hangs its trio of dome shaped glass shades at different heights from a single black ceiling plate, so the fitting reads more like a small sculptural cluster than a conventional multi arm light. Each shade catches the light a little differently as you move around it, and the mix of black marble effect necks against polished chrome trim gives it a quietly expensive look above a table or in a stairwell.

Black Marble and Chrome, or Something Lighter

This version pairs a black marble effect ceramic neck with chrome detailing and smoked glass shades that carry a frosted inner layer, so the bulb glows softly rather than glaring. Mantra also makes Nora in a white, wood and clear glass combination for a lighter, more Scandinavian feel, so it is worth deciding early which direction suits the room, since the two finishes change the character of the fitting considerably even though the shape stays the same.

How It Works

Three E27 bulbs, each rated to a maximum of 20W, sit inside the smoked glass shades and are not supplied with the fitting. The suspension cables adjust to give a maximum drop of 180cm, letting you set each of the three shades at a slightly different height to create the staggered effect shown in the product photos. It is wired to Class I and carries an IP20 rating, so it is designed for dry indoor rooms rather than bathrooms or covered outdoor spaces.

Where It Works Best

With a 53.4cm spread across its three shades, this is a good size to choose for a normal to mid sized dining table, a wide hallway or above a run of stairs where you want three separate pools of light rather than one central glow. If you have a longer table or a larger room to fill, the 5 light version of Nora in the same black marble and chrome finish gives a wider spread of the same shades without changing the look.

Made By Mantra

Mantra has been designing lighting in Valencia since 2000, and its original aim, making genuinely designer fittings that ordinary buyers could afford, still shapes ranges like Nora today. The company works with an internal design team alongside named external designers rather than relying on anonymous catalogue shapes, and after more than 25 years of continuous trading it now sells across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. That is a longer and more international track record than most lighting brands at this price point can claim.

Questions People Ask

Can I fit LED bulbs? Yes, any E27 LED bulb rated up to 20W will work well, and LEDs keep running costs and heat down compared with older bulb types.

Can the three shades hang at different heights? Yes, each of the three cables adjusts separately up to the maximum drop of 180cm, which is how the staggered arrangement in the photos is achieved.

Is this the right size for a small dining table? With a 53.4cm spread it suits a standard to mid sized table best. For a smaller table a single pendant may sit more comfortably, while a larger table may suit the 5 light Nora in the same finish.
