Contemporary Glass Pendant Lighting
Sculptural glass, intricate metalwork and layered illumination
The Chiswick Glass Pendant Light explores the relationship between transparency, texture and geometric form. An intricately perforated metal mesh shade sits within an outer glass enclosure, creating a distinctive double-layered composition. Available in sphere, pear and capsule silhouettes, the design balances delicate glasswork with the architectural definition of its internal metal structure.
Light travels through the patterned inner shade before passing through the surrounding glass, producing a layered lighting effect with subtle shadows and reflections. Seven size configurations, a selection of metal finishes and clear or amber glass options allow the pendant to be adapted to different interiors. An adjustable suspension and included light source complete this versatile contemporary design.

Design & Illumination
A study in transparency and texture
Layered Material Composition
The pendant combines a smooth glass exterior with a finely perforated metal interior. This contrast introduces depth without excessive visual weight, allowing the internal geometry to remain an integral part of the design. The transparent or amber glass enclosure softens the overall composition while retaining the definition of the inner shade.
Distinctive Geometric Forms
Each silhouette offers a different architectural character. The sphere presents a balanced, rounded profile, the pear introduces a gently tapered proportion, and the capsule creates a taller, more linear expression. Individually suspended or arranged in coordinated groups, the forms provide flexibility for different ceiling heights and spatial compositions.
Dimensions
Seven sizes across three distinctive shapes
The Chiswick collection offers seven individual configurations, with shade diameters ranging from 12 cm to 30 cm. Choose a compact capsule for a slender arrangement, a rounded sphere for balanced proportions, or a taller pear silhouette for a more expressive profile.

Three silhouettes, three distinct design expressions
Each configuration shares the same layered metal-and-glass construction while introducing a different proportion. The selection allows the lighting arrangement to respond naturally to the architecture and furnishing of the room.
Shape 01
Sphere
A rounded silhouette with a balanced, symmetrical presence. Available in 20 cm, 24 cm and 30 cm diameters for individual installations or coordinated arrangements.
Shape 02
Pear
A softly tapered form with a generous rounded body. Available in 25 cm and 30 cm diameters, offering a graceful silhouette with greater vertical emphasis.
Shape 03
Capsule
An elongated cylindrical profile with softly rounded ends. Available in 12 cm and 15 cm diameters, well suited to arrangements requiring a slender vertical composition.
Finish & Glass Options
Considered contrasts in colour and material
Metal Finishes
Copper Plating, Black & Silver
Copper plating introduces a warmer metallic accent, black provides a more graphic architectural outline, and silver offers a restrained contemporary appearance.
Glass Colours
Clear & Amber
Clear glass emphasises transparency and the intricate internal mesh, while amber introduces a warmer visual tone and a more atmospheric appearance when illuminated.
The inner perforated shade is also presented in matte black and bright gold, providing an additional layer of visual contrast within the outer glass enclosure.
Lighting Character
A subtle interplay of light, pattern and reflection
Patterned Light Distribution
The perforated inner shade introduces a decorative lighting effect as illumination passes through the metal mesh. The surrounding glass creates an additional reflective layer, allowing the pendant to produce subtle variations in light and shadow across nearby surfaces.
Visual Interest Beyond Illumination
Even when switched off, the contrasting materials and visible internal structure give the pendant a sculptural quality. When illuminated, the interplay between the mesh and glass becomes more pronounced, creating an intimate and considered lighting atmosphere.
Placement
Flexible proportions for considered interiors
The variety of sizes and silhouettes allows the Chiswick pendant to function as a single decorative feature or as part of a repeated lighting composition. Its transparent outer shade keeps the design visually light, making it particularly effective where detailed lighting is desired without a heavy architectural presence.
Kitchen Islands & Counters
Arrange matching capsule or sphere pendants in a linear sequence for a rhythmic lighting composition above island benches and counters.
Dining Areas
Select a larger sphere or pear silhouette to introduce a decorative focal point above a dining table, balancing glass transparency with metal detailing.
Bedrooms & Bedside Spaces
Use the compact configurations as suspended bedside lighting, introducing texture and visual interest while keeping bedside surfaces clear.
Installation
Adjustable suspension for tailored positioning
The Chiswick Glass Pendant Light is designed for hardwired ceiling installation and is supplied with an approximately 150 cm adjustable hanging wire. The suspension can be configured to achieve the desired hanging height during installation, allowing the pendant to be positioned according to the ceiling height and intended application.
Professional installation recommended. Electrical installation should be completed by a suitably qualified electrician and in accordance with applicable local electrical requirements.
Care
Preserving the clarity of glass and finish
Switch off the power and allow the fitting to cool before cleaning. Gently wipe the glass with a soft, dry or lightly dampened cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Use a soft cloth for the metal components, avoiding abrasive materials and harsh chemical cleaners that may affect the surface finish.
