One soft dome, engineered to be looked at and looked past
Switched off it is a quiet black-and-white silhouette; switched on, the whole shade becomes the light source instead of a bright spot inside it.
The shade flares outward in a smooth opal curve, wide enough to shield a seated diner from direct glare while still washing the tabletop in an even pool of light. Because the glass is opal rather than clear, the lamp hides inside a milky glow - no visible bulb, no hard shadows, just a continuous soft field that photographs as beautifully as it lights.
Iron art carries the structure: the slim cylindrical housing grips the glass at the top, the cord exits cleanly through the canopy, and the black finish frames the cream dome with the crisp contrast the design is known for. The glowing cup beneath adds a second layer of downward light, so reading a menu or a textbook under it never strains the eyes.

The details behind the glow
Flared opal shade
The wide open curve spreads light across the whole table instead of dropping one bright cone, and the milky glass keeps the lamp invisible.
Layered diffuser cup
A second glowing surface under the dome adds direct task light to the shade's ambient wash - menus, laptops and homework all read clearly.
Black iron housing
The slim matte cylinder anchors the design and hides the socket; powder-coated iron art resists wear in busy dining and cafe settings.
Two sizes, one look
300 mm over nooks and counters, 400 mm over family tables - mixed freely through an open-plan home while the silhouette stays matched.
E27 freedom
Any standard E27 bulb fits. A warm 2700K lamp flatters the opal cream best, and dimmable versions turn dinner into candlelight.
Compact 160 mm profile
Only 160 mm tall, the shade sits tight to the ceiling line and keeps windows, shelves and conversations in full view.
Choosing the size and the drop
A classic dome succeeds on proportion - wide enough to mark the table, low enough to feel close, never low enough to block the view.
Match the diameter to the table
A 400 mm shade centers a six-seat dining table or a kitchen island run; the 300 mm version suits two-seat nooks, cafe corners and bedside drops. For long counters, repeat the smaller size in a line rather than stretching one shade across it.
Set the height by the view
Hang roughly 700–800 mm above a dining surface: low enough to feel intimate, high enough that diners see each other across the glow. In walkways, clear 2000 mm from the floor. Tell us the ceiling height and we set the cord before dispatch.
Singles, pairs and runs
One pendant owns a small table; two at matching heights frame a bed or a bar counter; three in a row rhythm a long island. The identical silhouette at mixed scales also works in open-plan rooms that serve several functions.
Choose the bulb with care
Opal glass averages whatever you give it, so 2700K keeps meals warm while 3000K suits kitchens that double as workspaces. If you plan to dim, pick a dimmable E27 bulb and confirm the control type with the order.

Where the classic drop belongs
Family Dining Table
Over an oak table the 400 mm dome lays an even pool of light across every place setting, bright enough for dinner, soft enough for long evenings.
Kitchen Island
Centered on the island, the shade lights chopping and plating without glaring into the cook's eyes, and reads as calm sculpture when off.
Reading Corner
Hung beside a bookshelf and armchair, the layered glow turns one corner of the room into the spot everyone reaches for first.
Café Table
A single drop over a marble two-top gives the café its signature corner - the black-and-white dome pops against warm painted walls.
Bedside Corner
Replacing a bedside lamp, the pendant frees the nightstand and dims to a soft glow that is kind to late-night readers and sleepers alike.
Home Office Desk
Above the desk, the diffuser cup carries the task light while the wide dome keeps screens glare-free through a full working day.
A maker that forms and assembles in-house
Independent design
Every fixture is designed, developed and produced by our own factory, with patent protection on the original forms.
Priced at the source
Orders go straight to the line that presses the iron art and blows the opal glass, so no agent layer sits in the price.
Glow checks
Each pendant is lit and inspected before packing, so the opal reads even and no thin patch of glass slips through.
Layout advice from photos
Send a photo of the table, island or nook; we advise which diameter and drop height suit the space before you order.
Spare glass included
Every case ships with protective inserts and spare fixings, so one knocked shade never turns into a replacement order.
Brand-ready packaging
Cartons, tags and finish docs follow your brand book, whether the order is one case or a pallet for a chain.
Shape-safe packing
Shades travel in moulded trays sized to each diameter, with cords coiled separately and a fitting guide in every case.
Build records kept
Your sizes, cord lengths and finish details are archived, so repeat orders reproduce the first exactly.
Tune the glass, finish and size mix
Private-label versions are welcome: alternate glass tints such as champagne or smoke for different brand palettes, a longer cord for tall ceilings, housing tones matched to your hardware, or bundled sets of two and three pendants for island runs. Each variation is reviewed for glass evenness and finish match before the first piece leaves the line.
Frequent requests include dimmable programs for hospitality groups, warmer diffuser tints for restaurants, and coordinated canopies that carry a hotel's existing metalware through the pendant program.

Fitting and caring for the classic dome
Fitting guidance
- ✓Isolate the circuit at the main panel before any wiring starts.
- ✓Fix the canopy firmly into the ceiling structure, not just the plasterboard.
- ✓Run the cord to its planned drop and secure the grip at the canopy.
- ✓Fit the E27 lamp, check the shade sits level and test before final tightening.
Care guidance
- ✓Dust the shade with a soft dry cloth, working around the curve of the dome.
- ✓Wipe the glass with a barely damp lint-free cloth, never with solvents or abrasives.
- ✓Keep cleaning chemicals off the black housing so the matte finish stays uniform.
- ✓Once a year, check the cord grip at the canopy and the seating of the shade.
Questions buyers ask most
1. What bulb does the pendant take?
One standard E27 bulb per pendant. A 2700K lamp gives dining rooms their warmest look, while 3000K suits working kitchens; the opal glass blends either into a smooth, even glow.
2. Which size should I choose, 300 mm or 400 mm?
Use 300 mm over nooks, bedside drops and counters, and 400 mm over six-seat tables and islands. For long counters, a row of 300 mm shades usually reads better than one wide dome.
3. Can the cord be set to a specific drop?
Yes. Tell us the ceiling height and where the shade should sit; we set the cord before dispatch so the pendant arrives ready to hang at the planned level.
4. Is the fixture dimmable?
It dims with any dimmable E27 bulb. Confirm your control type - trailing edge, 0–10V or a smart switch - with the order and we verify the combination before sampling.
5. Is the glass fragile in transit?
Shades travel in moulded trays sized to each diameter, with cords coiled separately. If a piece is damaged on arrival, photo confirmation is enough for us to send replacements.
6. What certifications are available?
CE, RoHS, CB, ETL and FCC are supported according to the destination market. Tell us the market with the inquiry and we confirm the certification package before sampling.
7. How quickly do orders ship?
A regular order leaves in about 25–30 days; rush slots can be arranged when the schedule allows.
8. Can I order a trial piece first?
Yes. Leave your contact details and we will quote a first unit and a delivery date for the standard design.
