Fabula Sycamore 15cm Round Segment Glass Shade - Smoke Plated

Smoky Glass That Softens the Bulb Glow

Smoke plated glass gives this segmented round shade a moody, slightly translucent quality that dims and warms the light rather than letting it shine through clear. Built in the same faceted shape as the rest of the Sycamore collection and sized for an E14 fitting, it has presence without being aggressive. The plated finish adds visual depth and works beautifully if you prefer warmer, less direct lighting.

Choosing Your Finish

This shade's smoke plated finish sits between the brightness of clear glass and the density of a fully opaque shade. If you want something in this tonal range but with a different texture or pattern, other finishes in the Sycamore range offer similar moody tones on the same segmented base shape.

How It Works

Made from plated glass fitted to an E14 lamp holder. The IP44 protection means it handles water splash from any direction, making it safe to mount near bathing areas without direct water exposure.

Where It Works Best

The IP44 rating puts this shade into bathroom zones 1 and 2, so you can use it over a vanity or mirror without concern. For more on what those zones mean, see our guide to bathroom lighting zones. Its warm character also makes it ideal for bedrooms, living rooms or hallways where you want softer, moodier light.

Design Details

The plating process creates a grey, slightly clouded appearance in the glass that diffuses light differently than clear material. Combined with the segmented shape, it gives the shade a contemporary look that suits both minimalist and more ornate fittings equally well.

Questions People Ask

Will the plating wear off over time?
No, the plating is integral to the glass and won't chip, peel or wear with normal use. It's as permanent as the glass itself.

Can I use this in a bathroom?
Yes, it's rated IP44, which is suitable for bathroom zones 1 and 2. Just avoid placing it directly inside a shower enclosure.

How much light does it let through compared to clear glass?
The smoke plating reduces brightness slightly and warms the tone, so you get less direct glare and softer shadows, which many people prefer for ambient lighting.
