Two layers of tinted glass, one inside the other, with a gap between them. The outer shade colours the light and the inner one diffuses it, so what leaves the fixture has both depth and softness rather than the single flat tone a one-layer shade produces.

That double construction is also what gives the pendant its presence when unlit. Looking at it, you see through one surface to another, and the two curves catch light at different angles. It is a mid-century idea and it works best where people sit under it long enough to notice: a dining table, a bar, a cafe counter.

Two tones. Smoke grey is the cooler and more restrained, and reads almost charcoal when switched off. Amber is the warmer and turns an evening room golden, which is the more traditional choice for a dining space. Both use an iron fixture in a matched finish. Hang the bottom around 75 to 85 cm above a tabletop. Installation should be carried out by a competent person. Tinted glass looks best with a warm bulb, as a cool source flattens the colour and makes the amber read muddy. Wipe the outer shade with a soft dry cloth, and expect a little dust to gather in the gap between the two layers.

Two Layers, Two Jobs

The outer shade carries the colour and the inner one diffuses it, so the light leaving has depth and softness at once instead of the flat tone a single layer gives.

Worth Looking At Switched Off

You see through one surface to another, and the two curves catch light at different angles. It rewards the people who sit under it long enough to notice.

Smoke Grey Or Amber

Smoke grey is cooler and more restrained, almost charcoal unlit. Amber turns an evening room golden and is the more traditional choice over a dining table.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why two layers of glass?

One colours the light and the other diffuses it. A single shade has to do both jobs at once, and the result is flatter.

What bulb suits it?

A warm one. A cool source flattens tinted glass and makes the amber read muddy rather than golden.

How high should it hang?

About 75 to 85 cm from the bottom of the shade to the tabletop, which keeps the glow on the surface and the bulb out of eye line.

Which colour for a dining room?

Amber, which is warmer and more traditional over a table. Smoke grey suits a cooler modern kitchen or a bedroom.

How do I clean between the layers?

A soft dry cloth on the outer shade is usually enough. A little dust gathers in the gap over time and is barely visible once the lamp is lit.
