Let customers speak for us
Love my light so much, it has created a real focal point in the room and definely has the wow factor. I love that you can change the bulb which gives the light a different style. I now have 2 and can't wait to put the other one up! The fact it dims is also brilliant, my corners have come alive in the cosiest way.
The Isabella wall lights are the elegant finishing touch I was looking for to complete my bedroom, each component is of really good quality and they are easy to assemble. I love the atmosphere I can create with the dimmable wall lights, the light is soft, warm and inviting. I never want to use the big light again!
Whilst unboxing the package I was struck by the solid feel to the brass parts, the beautiful black fabric around the cord and the bulb itself was actually bigger than I realised. Delivery was quick, installation was straight forward and it looks even better in real life than online. One very happy customer!

A kitchen island isn’t just a place to prepare meals — it’s where everything happens. Morning coffees. Homework sessions. Evening conversations. The right pendant lighting turns it into the warm, welcoming centrepiece it’s meant to be.
Our kitchen island pendant lights are designed to elevate both function and atmosphere. Whether you prefer the clean lines of a single pendant or the sculptural impact of a cluster design, every piece in our collection blends minimalist detailing with exposed bulb warmth — ideal for kitchens that favour style and simplicity.
Each light is hardwired, dimmable-compatible, and crafted with premium materials in timeless finishes like brushed brass, matte black, and antique bronze.
Why Kitchen Pendant Lighting Matters
The kitchen is one of the hardest-working rooms in your home — but that doesn’t mean the lighting has to feel harsh or utilitarian. Our exposed bulb pendant lights soften the space, offering a warm ambient glow while still providing functional task lighting.
Whether you're prepping ingredients or pouring a glass of wine, our lights help shift the atmosphere from day to night effortlessly.
Kitchen Island Pendant Styles
Single Pendant Lights
Perfect for minimal, clean-lined kitchens. Use one, two, or three single pendants evenly spaced above an island to create symmetry and visual calm. Ideal for smaller spaces or when you want subtle elegance without visual clutter.
Bar Pendant Lights
Structured and linear, bar pendants are perfect for long kitchen islands or breakfast bars. They offer the visual weight of a cluster while using just one electrical point, a smart solution for modern kitchens with limited wiring flexibility.
Cluster Pendant Lights
A designer favourite. Multiple pendants suspended from a single canopy create a sculptural, layered look, ideal for kitchen islands that double as dining areas or social spaces. Choose a 3-pendant cluster for impact without overwhelming the space.
Tailor the Look: Cables & Finishes
Lighting should feel like part of your kitchen, not an afterthought. That’s why our pendants offer thoughtful customisation options:
Finishes
- Warm solid brass
- Modern matte black
- Rustic antique bronze
Each component is carefully chosen to work in harmony, so you can match your lighting to your cabinet hardware, taps, or overall colour scheme.
Cable options
- Straight cables for a crisp, architectural feel
- Twisted fabric cables for vintage charm and softness
