Fabula Sycamore 15cm Round Double Textured Smooth & Ribbed Glass Shade - Smoke Plated

Two Textures in Smoked Tones

This shade brings complexity to a small form by combining smooth and ribbed glass sections in a smoke plated finish, creating a two tone visual effect that works particularly well with darker or more contemporary design schemes. The mixed textures catch light at different angles, adding depth and movement to what is otherwise a compact, 15cm round shade. Designed for E14 lamp holders, it carries an IP44 rating making it suitable for bathroom use.

Choosing Your Finish

The smoke plating gives the glass a moodier, tinted appearance than clear finishes, which softens the light while still showing a hint of the bulb through the tint. The combination of smooth and ribbed sections adds tactile interest, preventing the shade from feeling visually flat. The finish works beautifully with black or dark metalwork, though it's equally at home with warmer metals if your style runs that way.

How It Works

Fitted for E14 lamp holders, this shade takes a maximum 20W LED bulb. The smoke plating combined with the double texture creates a refined diffusion of light, neither fully transparent nor heavily frosted. Its IP44 rating means it's protected against splashing water, making bathroom installation straightforward while also working perfectly in kitchens, hallways and any interior space.

Where It Works Best

With its IP44 rating, this shade is suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2, making it an excellent choice above a sink or mirror. The sophisticated smoke tone also suits living rooms and bedrooms where you want something that feels moody rather than bright. Grouped with other Sycamore finishes or used singly, it has enough visual presence to work as a statement without overwhelming a small space.

Design Details

The double texture comes from the manufacturing process, with sections of the glass left smooth while others are ribbed, creating a pleasing contrast in both light reflection and tactile quality. The smoke plating is applied to the surface, giving the shade its distinctive two tone character. This combination of techniques results in a piece that feels carefully considered rather than overly complicated.

Questions People Ask

How much light does the smoke plating reduce?
The smoke plating softens light considerably, but it doesn't create a dim space. The tint is visible but not so dark that you'd need higher wattage bulbs to compensate.

Is this suitable for a bathroom?
Yes, the IP44 rating covers bathroom zones 1 and 2, so it's safe to install over a vanity unit or beside a mirror.

Will this work with my existing pendant fitting?
If your fitting has an E14 lamp holder, yes. The shade simply slides onto the E14 socket.
