Nothing Between The Bulb And The Room
No fabric shade and no plastic diffuser. The glass is the whole design, so what you see is colour and the curve of the form itself.
Amber Glass For A Dark Afternoon
Light and dark amber both warm the output towards gold, which is what a dining table wants in a northern winter when the afternoon has gone dark by four.
Clear Glass Over A Kitchen Counter
Clear gives the brightest, crispest light and shows off a filament bulb properly, which makes it the one to choose over a working counter.
Bell is a Nordic glass pendant with the tapered, open-mouthed shape its name suggests. The glass is the whole design here: no fabric shade, no plastic diffuser, nothing between the bulb and the room except colour and the curve of the form itself.
Four glass finishes cover most rooms. Light amber and dark amber both warm the output towards gold, which is what a dining table wants in a northern winter when the afternoon has gone dark by four. Clear glass gives the brightest, crispest light and shows off a filament bulb properly, so it suits a kitchen where the pendant is doing real work over a worktop. Grey mutes everything into something quieter and more architectural, and it reads particularly well against pale plaster, concrete and unpainted timber.
Three sizes and a ready-made set cover the usual arrangements. The fifteen centimetre version is the one to hang in threes above a kitchen island, while the larger sizes stand alone over a table or in a stairwell where a single fitting has to hold the space. Because the bulb stays visible through the glass, choose one you are happy to look at every day rather than whatever came in the drawer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which glass finish should I pick?
Amber warms a dining table towards gold, clear gives the brightest light over a counter, and the darker finishes mute the output for a moodier room.
Is there a diffuser inside?
No. The glass does all of the work, which is why the colour of the shade matters so much to the light you end up with.
Will the bulb be visible?
Through clear glass yes, which is why a decorative filament bulb suits it. The amber finishes soften the bulb into a warm glow instead.
Can I hang a row of them?
Yes. The bell shape lines up cleanly over an island or a long table, and a single finish across the run keeps it calm.
How high should I hang it?
Low enough that the open mouth directs light onto the table, high enough that it sits above eye level for people sitting down.
