Frolena Amber Glass Pendant Light 20cm - Brushed Brass

The Frolena is a single pendant light with a tapered, rounded shade of amber vaporised glass, hung on a black cord from a brushed brass ceiling canopy. It measures 110cm tall overall, and the shade is 20cm across, a neat size for hanging over a side table, a small dining table or a kitchen island. The body is steel in a brushed brass finish, matching the canopy and lamp holder. It takes one E27 bulb of up to 40W, which you choose yourself, as the bulb is not included. It is rated IP20, which settles where it goes: indoors, in dry rooms, rather than in a bathroom or outdoors.

We like it in a living room or a reading corner, where the amber glass gives the light a warm, honeyed tone and the shade still looks good even with the bulb unlit. It also suits a hallway, a bedroom or a dining area, anywhere dry that would benefit from a touch of colour overhead. Because the glass is see-through, the bulb stays visible, so a decorative filament bulb is well worth considering. The brushed brass and amber sit comfortably with warm neutrals, greys and natural wood, which makes it an easy choice if you want one pendant that brings warmth to a room without a busy pattern.

The amber colour comes from a vaporised finish on the glass, so the shade keeps its clarity while taking on a rich, even tint. There is no switch on the light itself: it is switched at the wall, and it runs on 220-240V mains at 50/60Hz. As a wired-in mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions come as a download. It weighs 1.878KG packed, a manageable weight to unbox and hold steady while it goes into place.
