Bauhaus Glass Pendant Light | Modern Layered LED Hanging Lamp In Three Tinted Glass Colours

Stacking glass is what turns a pendant into a chandelier without any of the ornament. This Marlow Vane fitting layers tinted discs one above another, so light passes through more glass at the centre than at the edge and the whole piece grades from bright to soft. It is a Bauhaus idea, built entirely out of geometry and material rather than out of applied decoration.

Six size and tier combinations are offered. A single tier at twenty five, thirty five or forty five centimetres suits a bedside, a hallway or a small table. Two tiers at thirty five or forty five centimetres and twenty two deep have real presence. The three tier at forty five wide and thirty three deep is the version for a stairwell or a long dining table.

Buy it now and measure the drop before ordering, since the taller tiers need clearance to look right rather than crowded. Amber is the warmest of the three glasses, green the most unusual of them, and smoke grey the most architectural. Because layered glass carries weight, this must be installed by a qualified electrician to local electrical code, on a ceiling point rated for the load, with the circuit isolated at the breaker first.
