Fabula Sycamore 15cm Round Glass Shade - Smoke Plated

Tinted Sophistication in a Compact Shade

Smoke plating gives this 15cm glass shade a tinted, dual tone appearance that suits darker or industrial design schemes while still allowing light through with a subtle softness. The hint of the bulb remains visible through the tint, creating a more atmospheric glow than fully frosted finishes while avoiding the visual flatness of plain clear glass. Sized for E14 lamp holders and rated IP44, it works in bathrooms and throughout the home.

Choosing Your Finish

The smoke plating filters light into a moody tone that complements black or dark metalwork particularly well, though it's neutral enough to work with warmer finishes too. The partial transparency means the shade isn't completely opaque, maintaining a sense of light and openness while adding sophistication through colour. If you're mixing finishes within the Sycamore range, smoke offers a deeper tone that can anchor a grouping.

How It Works

Fitted for E14 lamp holders, this shade takes a maximum 20W LED bulb. The smoke plating creates a gentle softening of light without the fully diffused effect of opal or frosted finishes. Its IP44 rating provides protection against splashing water, making bathroom installation reliable while also performing well in kitchens, hallways and any interior space where you want light that feels composed rather than stark.

Where It Works Best

The IP44 rating makes this shade suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2, and the sophisticated smoke tone brings a spa like quality to bathroom lighting. It's equally effective in bedrooms and living rooms where you want something more moody than clear but less heavy than fully opaque shades. The shade's compact size means it works well singly or as part of a multi shade pendant cluster.

Design Details

Smoke plating involves applying a tinted coating to the glass, creating a consistent, sophisticated appearance without altering the fundamental nature of the material. The result is glass that feels more contemporary and intentional than the equivalent in clear finish. The plating wears well and maintains its colour over time, so the shade won't lose its character with age.

Questions People Ask

How dark is the smoke plating?
Dark enough to add mood and sophistication, but still light enough that you can see the bulb and get useful illumination. It's not like looking through a dark tint film.

Yes, the IP44 rating makes it suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2, so it's perfect paired with a modern or industrial bathroom fitting.

What colour is the light when it's on?
The smoke plating adds a slight grey toned filter to the light, creating a cooler atmosphere than amber or clear finishes. It pairs beautifully with cool toned interior schemes.
