Ashby 5 Light Pendant - Brass

The Ashby is a five-light mid-century pendant that pairs frosted outer glass shades with opal inner globes for a soft, layered light. The frosted glass wraps each opal globe, so the glow is gentle and even with no harsh glare, and the five lights sit in a balanced circle. The frame is 690mm across in brushed aged brass and hangs from a telescopic height-adjustable stem. It takes five G9 lamps and reads as a warm, retro-inspired centrepiece.

This pendant suits dining rooms, lounges and spacious hallways, where its wide circle balances larger furniture and higher ceilings. The double glass gives a warm, ambient glow that is easy on the eye, while the clean lines and balanced geometry keep it modern rather than fussy. It is a good fit for rooms that want mid-century character with a soft, comfortable light. The double glass keeps glare down over a dining table, so it is comfortable to sit beneath for long evenings.

The metalwork is brushed aged brass plate and each light pairs a frosted outer shade with a matt opal inner sphere. The telescopic stem adjusts the height from 515mm to 750mm, so it sits closer to the ceiling than a chain pendant and suits rooms where you want less drop. It is a Class 2 double insulated fitting, so it does not need an earth at the fitting, and the IP20 rating keeps it to dry indoor rooms. It is dimmable with a compatible trailing edge dimmer and dimmable G9 lamps. Dust the glass and wipe the brass with a dry, soft cloth.
