Elara 1 Light Glass Pendant Light - Smoked Black

The Elara is a single-light pendant with a 30cm dome-shaped shade blown from smoked glass, suspended on a matt black cable from a matching matt black ceiling rose. The shade accepts one E27 bulb up to 40W (sold separately), and the dark tinted glass softens the light output while maintaining visibility of the bulb when lit, creating a warm glow that filters through the smoke tone.

Designed for kitchen islands, hallways, and reading corners where a single pendant provides both task and accent light, the Elara works in spaces with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. The 42cm overall height including the shade gives the pendant enough visual presence to anchor a space without dominating it. The smoked glass pairs well with industrial, mid-century and contemporary interiors featuring exposed brick, polished concrete, dark wood or matte metal finishes.

The dome form is a classic industrial silhouette, but the smoked glass gives it a softer, less utilitarian appearance than traditional metal shades. At 1.9kg the pendant has enough weight to hang steadily on the cable without needing additional support. The compact 30cm diameter makes the Elara suitable for repetition in linear or staggered arrangements — three or four Elara pendants spaced evenly above a long kitchen island or dining table create a rhythmic installation without cluttering the sightline.

What bulb does it take?

The Elara takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 40W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W to complement the industrial aesthetic and allow the bulb to be visible through the smoked glass.

How much light does the smoked glass allow through?

The smoked finish reduces light output compared to clear glass, creating a softer, more diffused glow. The bulb remains visible when lit, which is part of the design intent. For brighter task light, choose a higher-lumen LED bulb within the 40W maximum rating.

Can multiple Elara pendants be used together?

Yes. The 30cm diameter makes the Elara suitable for repetition in linear or staggered arrangements. Three or four pendants spaced 60-80cm apart work well above a kitchen island or dining table without overwhelming the space.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 42cm shade height plus the adjustable cable length means the Elara works best in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above. For kitchen islands, the pendant typically hangs 70-90cm above the worktop.
