Where flaring shades meet a slender chrome neck
The lamp is hidden and the shades do the work - three opal-white bowls that flare outward, catching the light and sending it down as one even pool.
At the centre sits a single E14 lamp, seated inside the top shade so the source stays out of sight. Around it, three opal-glass bowls flare in steps - a wide dish on top, a mid bowl, and a shallow lower skirt - each spaced by a slim chrome neck so the tiers breathe and the light falls freely between them.
Aluminium shapes the canopy and the neck: the canopy is spun to a soft dome that meets the ceiling, and the neck carries the cord grip that holds the suspension line. Because the shades are opal rather than clear, the glow is diffused and smooth - no filament, no hotspot, just a quiet downward wash that suits task areas and cosy corners alike.
The piece behaves like a soft lantern rather than a bare fixture - a stacked shade cluster that marks a table or a desk without ever glaring into the eye. Where an ornate frame throws light in every direction, this pendant aims everything downward, so it reads clean against a plain ceiling and never competes with wall art. The open steps vent heat fast and keep the body shallow enough for an 8-foot room.
A chrome collar closes the neck at the top shade, and the opal glass is pressed to a uniform thickness so each bowl glows evenly with no bright seam. Because the silhouette stays low and ventilated, the pendant looks like a considered mid-century object, and the E14 lamp can be swapped without tools whenever the room's mood changes.

The detail behind the stacked shades
Three flaring shades
Opal-white glass bowls flare outward in steps, so each tier catches the lamp and spreads its share of light down and out across the room below.
Slender chrome neck
A slim chrome neck stacks the bowls and carries the cord grip, keeping the tiers spaced and level while the metal stays thin from canopy to skirt.
Hidden E14 lamp
One E14 lamp hides inside the top shade, so the source never shows; only the smooth opal glow reads, giving the pendant a calm, lamp-free face.
Tunable warm-to-cool
The 2700K–6500K module shifts from dinner warm to task cool, so one pendant serves a bedroom, a kitchen and a meeting room with a different mood.
Spun aluminium canopy
A soft spun-aluminium dome meets the ceiling and hides the junction, so the pendant starts as a clean disc on the roof rather than a visible box.
Aluminium and glass build
Lightweight aluminium and pressed opal glass keep the body easy to ship, while the neck stays rigid so the stacked shades sit true over years of use.
Sitting the shade stack in the room
This pendant asks for restraint - give it a plain ceiling and a clear drop, and the stacked shades set a soft, mid-century mood on their own.
Match the 280 mm body to the table
The 280 mm diameter suits a two-to-four-seat table, a kitchen island run or a bedside pair. Over a longer counter, space two or three units along the run so each sheds its own pool rather than one wide fitting crowding the centre.
Keep the opal-and-aluminium tone
The white shades pair with pale ceilings and timber; the aluminium canopy repeats brushed steel tapware and frames. Carrying that opal-and-metal language across a flat keeps the interior quiet and cohesive from room to room.
Plan the suspension drop
Decide the working height before install: about 1.5 m above a table for intimacy, or higher in open rooms so the shallow stack reads against the wall. The cable sets the drop, and the canopy hides the junction and keeps the shades level.
Pick the colour temperature
The tunable module is your main call: 2700K softens a bedroom, 4000K suits a kitchen, 6500K lifts a retail bay. Tell us the application and we lock the default tint before sampling so the first unit arrives set to your mood.
Specifications
Core values come from the original product table; electrical details to be confirmed before a bulk order.
Where the shade stack belongs
Dining Table
The stacked shades drop over the table and pour a calm pool onto the timber, while the aluminium canopy echoes a minimal kitchen. Its downward glow turns dinner into a soft, glare-free scene.
Bedside Corner
Hung low beside the bed, the opal shades give the room one even point of light and free the nightstand. The shallow stack suits a linen headboard far better than a heavy frame.
Living Room Sofa
Dropped over the sofa, the flaring bowls glow like a soft lantern and the aluminium ties the seating to the floor below. The low silhouette calms a busy lounge without shouting.
Hotel Reception
Behind the marble counter, the aluminium canopy carries the lobby's metal notes and marks the desk from across the room. A modern arrival reads instantly more considered under this shade stack.
Entry Console
Centred above the console, the stacked shades greet arrivals with a soft pool and set a mid-century tone for the interior. The flaring tiers recall a city apartment rather than a showroom fitting.
Study Desk
The bowls throw even working light across the chair and shelving without a hint of screen glare. A scholar's nook gains a quiet, downward warmth a bare bulb could never lend.
A workshop that spins, presses and tunes in-house
Spun aluminium canopies
The domed canopies are spun on our own lathes, so a new profile moves from drawing to sample without the part ever leaving the works.
Pressed opal bowls
Glass bowls are pressed to a uniform thickness and checked for an even wall, so every tier glows the same with no bright seam or thin spot.
Necked shade stack
A setting jig seats each bowl on the chrome neck during assembly, keeping the tiers parallel and the flare even rather than leaning out of line.
Cable preset to spec
Give us the ceiling height and we cut the suspension to length before it leaves, so the shade stack reaches the level marked on your drawing on arrival.
Bench-lit glow test
Every opal bowl is switched on at the bench to prove the glow is even and cloud-free, since a dull patch would spoil the downward pool the design relies on.
Branded carton print
Boxes, tags and tint cards carry your artwork, whether the shipment is a single parcel or a full container headed for a hotel group.
Foam-cradled bowls
Each bowl sits in a carved foam cradle that grips the neck, and the canopy is double-wrapped with a hang guide slipped inside the carton.
Sample logged for reorders
Your diameter, tint and drop are logged against the signed sample, so a repeat order months later matches the first unit without a new round of proofs.
Reshape the shades, the neck and the drop
Private-label runs are welcome: custom tint codes for your catalogue, an extra bowl added to the stack, drop lengths matched to the ceiling, or a paired run of two sizes across one room. Each variant is checked for true shade flare and a level canopy before the first bowl is pressed.
Frequent requests include scene-control kits for hotel groups, a matching shade set across the rooms and corridors of one property, and reception pieces that pick up a client's own metal through the aluminium canopy.

Fitting and caring for the shade pendant
Fitting guidance
- ✓Isolate the circuit at the main board before any wiring starts.
- ✓Fix the aluminium ceiling canopy into a joist or blocking, not only the plaster.
- ✓Set the cable to its planned length and check the stack hangs level before the final tighten.
- ✓Fit the E14 bulb, then switch on to confirm the glow is even before you leave the ladder.
Care guidance
- ✓Dust the bowls and neck with a soft dry cloth, following the flare rather than rubbing across.
- ✓Wipe the aluminium canopy with a barely damp cloth; solvents dull the glass and the metal.
- ✓Keep the cable dry and buff the canopy now and then to hold its tone.
- ✓Once a year, check the canopy grip and the seat of each bowl on its neck.
Questions buyers ask most
1. What size room suits the 280 mm body?
The 280 mm shade stack fits a two-to-four-seat table, a kitchen island run or a bedside pair. Over a longer counter, space two or three units along the run so each sheds its own pool rather than one wide fitting crowding the centre.
2. Does the lamp show through the glass?
No - the E14 lamp hides inside the top shade, so only the smooth opal glow reads. That is what gives the pendant a calm, lamp-free face and a glare-free downward pool.
3. What bulb does it take?
It takes one standard E14 lamp. A 2700K filament-style lamp softens the bowls, while a high-CRI LED suits retail; the socket accepts any equivalent lamp, so replacements are easy to source locally.
4. Can you preset the hanging height?
Yes. Give us the ceiling height and the level the stack should reach; we trim the cable before it ships so the pendant lands at the planned mark on arrival.
5. Will the glass bowls arrive intact?
Each bowl travels in a carved foam pocket that grips the neck and canopy, so the opal surface arrives intact; loose spare parts ride in every carton besides.
6. Which certification marks do you support?
CE, RoHS, CB, ETL or FCC are set up to match the country you sell into. Name the market when you enquire and we lock the mark set before sampling.
7. How long until dispatch?
A standard order leaves in about four to five weeks depending on the tint mix; an express slot can open when the calendar allows.
8. Do you sell a single sample unit?
Yes. Leave your contact details and we will quote one unit with a delivery date for the standard opal-and-aluminium build.
9. Does the pendant take a dimmer?
It dims with a trailing-edge LED driver matched to the tunable module; tell us the wall system in your market and we pair the driver so the flaring shades fade smoothly from bright task light to a low dinner glow.
