Nordic Glass Pendant Light | Modern Brass Cylinder Design In Amber or Smoke Grey Tinted Glass

Brass and tinted glass is a combination that has never really gone out of use, because warm metal against coloured glass flatters both. This Marlow Vane pendant keeps the shape to a plain cylinder so neither material has to compete with a fussy silhouette, and the result is a fitting that reads as expensive without announcing itself.

Two glass tones take the piece in different directions. Amber is the warmer of the two and glows properly when lit, which suits a dining table, a timber kitchen or an older house. Smoke grey is cooler and more architectural, and it holds its own against grey paint, concrete and the harder finishes in a modern build.

Buy it now and choose the light temperature with the glass in mind, since warm white deepens amber and cold white keeps smoke grey crisp. Over a dining table, hang it roughly seventy centimetres above the surface. This is a hardwired fixture and should be installed by a qualified electrician to local electrical code, with the circuit isolated at the breaker before any work begins on it. Let the glass cool completely, then wipe it down with a soft dry cloth rather than a household spray.
