Modern Chandeliers

Our modern chandeliers update a traditional form with contemporary materials, from hand-blown glass orbs suspended on brass arms to sculptural metal compositions that double as ceiling art. Each piece is chosen for its presence in a dining room, stairwell or hallway, bringing decorative lighting without the formality of a heritage crystal fitting.

    Dining rooms, stairwell voids and double-height hallways give a chandelier the ceiling space it needs to read as sculptural rather than crowded. Hanging over a dining table, the bottom of the fitting should sit around 75 to 90cm above the surface; over a stairwell, centre the chandelier on the landing view from below.

    A rule of thumb is to add the room's length and width in metres, and use that sum as the chandelier's diameter in inches. A 4m by 5m dining room, for instance, suits a 9-inch diameter fitting at minimum, with larger 12 to 20-inch pieces working well as a deliberate focal point rather than a subtle ambient layer.

    Contemporary chandeliers in brushed brass, smoked glass or matte black sit beautifully in modern and transitional homes, often providing the single decorative flourish in an otherwise pared-back room. The form borrows formality from the tradition while the material palette speaks to current interiors, which is why they've had such a strong return.

    A soft microfibre cloth and a spray bottle of diluted vinegar handles dust and light smudges on glass and metal alike. Switch off the circuit first, lay a dust sheet beneath the fitting and work from the top down, letting drips fall rather than wipe sideways across the arms. Twice a year is usually enough.

Kyoto Smoked Glass Pendant Lights Heal's We love how the Kyoto Pedant Light is available in different shapes. This means you can mix and match them to create a statement cluster or keep them the same for continuity. Each light is hand-blown in Poland and has a metallic electroplated finish. This finish means the smoked glass pendant lights look mirrored when switched off and more translucent when illuminated. Parison Smoked Glass Pendant Lights Cheshire Architects for Resident This smoked glass ceiling light has a refined ombré effect that makes it stand out from other lighting. It’s beautifully mouth-blown by skilled glassmakers with a raw rim. By leaving the rim unfinished, the light has a rougher edge that keeps it looking modern. We love how the light is used here to illuminate a crisp white corridor, thanks to the ombré effect it makes the ceilings look even higher. Honey Smoked Glass Pendant Light Guillaume Delvigne for Heal’s Horizontal ribbed lines and a cylindrical silhouette mimic the shape of a beehive and inspired the Honey Pendant Light’s name. The glass ridges help to capture the bulb’s glow and soften it, so it casts a warm light.

Reveal LED Smoked Glass Pendant Lights Silje Nesdal for Northern Reveal is one of the most contemporary smoked glass ceiling lights in our selection. The pale colours of dawn seen on the Norwegian coast inspired this design. This is translated into the design through traditional Scandinavian design hallmarks such as brass accents and contemporary shapes. Instead of being illuminated by a bulb, the smoked glass light shade houses a horizontal LED module. This lends is an innovative, modern aesthetic. Bloom Smoked Glass Pendant Light Tim Rundle for Resident Paper lanterns and the way they fly through the air inspired Tim Rundle’s Bloom Pendant Light. It mimics the paper lantern design with a stainless-steel mesh inner surrounding the bulb and a smoked glass diffuser. When illuminated, it casts a soft glow through the shade. This also highlights the unique pattern created by the steel mesh inner and casts a pool of light downward.

Soap Pendant Light Ota Svoboda for Bomma This smoked glass light shade really stands out because of its craftsmanship. Each one is freely blown from glass without using a mould, this creates an organic shape that is different from one light to the next. The lamp’s design was inspired by the every-changing shape of soap bubbles. To strengthen the similarity, the pendant light has an iridescent finish achieved through a unique metallisation process. Anchor Smoked Glass Pendant Lights Timothy Oulton As part of Timothy Oulton’s Noble Souls collection, the Anchor Pendant Light was designed to showcase ancient crafts.

Grace Smoked Glass Pendant Lights Heal's The exclusive Grace Pendant Light radiates the sophisticated style typical of 1960s glassware. It’s accented with a modern twist in the form of its slanted base, allowing light to escape from the base. The addition of smoked and coloured glass finishes sets the mood and helps to create a warm glow when illuminated. Colour is added to the glass whilst it is being blown, meaning the hue won’t fade or scratch. Bubble Smoked Glass Pendant Light Heal's The Bubble Pendant Light is perfect if you’re looking for a modern smoked glass lamp with a different. This exclusive Heal’s light is hand-blown using smoked glass and is hand-finished with bubble detailing so each finish is subtly different. When illuminated, the bubbles diffuse the light’s glow even further to create a textural effect. Bolha Pendant Light Heal's This contemporary glass pendant light is named after the Portuguese word for ‘bubble’ thanks to its bubble-like finish. Like bubbles, each Bolha Pendant Light is unique with the dimples differing slightly on each piece.

Bronzed metal fittings complete the pendant, so it looks right at home in modern interiors.
