Handmade glass shades
Each curved glass panel is made by hand. The softly irregular surface gives the two-tier shade its depth, reflections, and individual character.

Ondelle Wavy Glass Ceiling Light
$685.00
The Ondelle Wavy Glass Ceiling Light pairs two tiers of handmade glass with an electroplated iron frame. Curved panels bring a flowing, ribbon-like rhythm to a familiar room.
Imagine arriving home as evening settles: a welcoming entry, a quiet hallway, a bedroom ready to unwind. Warm-white 3000K light makes these everyday moments feel considered.

Expressive glass, a substantial frame, and a considered ceiling connection.
Each curved glass panel is made by hand. The softly irregular surface gives the two-tier shade its depth, reflections, and individual character.
A thickened iron body supports the glass arrangement. The electroplated finish gives the visible frame a refined appearance in gold or black.
The substantial canopy creates a neat transition to the ceiling and covers the mounting connection. Proper installation and suitable ceiling support remain essential.
Select a room to explore position and clearance. A single size, three ways to bring it home.
Center the fixture within the usable entry zone. Keep its full outline clear of door swings, tall cabinets, and architectural trim. The diagram illustrates a 2.40 m ceiling with a 25 cm total installed drop.
Keep the fixture bottom at least 2.13 m / 7 ft above the floor in circulation areas as a general planning guideline. Verify actual installed drop, ceiling support, and local requirements with your installer.
Align with the center of the room or the bed axis to create a balanced composition. Add bedside lights for reading. Check the lowest point of the fixture and any moving furniture before choosing the final position.
Keep the fixture bottom at least 2.13 m / 7 ft above the floor in circulation areas as a general planning guideline. Verify actual installed drop, ceiling support, and local requirements with your installer.
Arrange fixtures along the corridor centerline. Start with approximately 2.4–3 m between centers, then adjust to bulb lumen output, glass color, corridor width, and the overlap of light. This is a layout guide, not a guarantee of coverage.

The light begins inside.
The glass gives it character.
G9 bulbs produce the light. The glass itself does not emit it. As light travels through the curved panels, it is transmitted, reflected, and refracted, creating luminous edges and rippled highlights.
The 3000K warm-white source sets the underlying tone. Brown glass adds a warmer visual tint and may transmit less light than clear glass; actual brightness depends on the bulbs and the room.
G9 bulbs create illumination inside the frame.
Glass transmits, reflects, and refracts the light.
Layered panels reveal depth and changing highlights.
Every Ondelle glass shade is made by an artisan. Subtle differences in curvature, surface texture, thickness, and color are part of the handmade process. No two panels are identical.
Small variations give each curve its own expression.
Individual surfaces catch the light in different ways.
Together, these pieces form a layered composition with its own rhythm — a handmade glass ceiling light with detail worth looking at closely.

Choose the light quality and surface character that suit the room.
| Characteristic | Ondelle textured glass | Acrylic shades | Fabric shades |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visual character | Visible depth, crisp reflections, and sculptural curves. | Lightweight appearance; clarity varies with grade and finish. | Soft textile texture with a more opaque appearance. |
| Light effect | Transmitted light with reflections and refracted highlights. | Clear or diffused light depending on the surface. | Filtered, diffuse light depending on weave and lining. |
| Cleaning | A nonporous surface that can be gently wiped and dried. | Easy to wipe, but can scratch with abrasive cleaning. | Often needs dusting; washing depends on construction. |
| Long-term appearance | Glass generally resists yellowing; handle carefully to avoid chips. | Some grades can yellow or scratch over time. | Fabric may collect dust or discolor over time. |
| Practical trade-off | Substantial feel and optical detail; heavier and breakable. | Lighter and often more impact tolerant; grade dependent. | Lightweight, soft ambience; less transparency and sparkle. |
General material tendencies, not a comparative laboratory test. Results vary with composition, finish, construction, and care. The glass shade does not remove the need to follow the fixture’s bulb and temperature limits.
Practical answers for selecting, installing, and caring for your Ondelle ceiling light.
The fixture measures Ø 45 cm × H 25 cm / Ø 17.7 in × H 9.8 in. Before ordering, check the ceiling position, nearby doors and cabinetry, and the finished floor-to-fixture clearance. Confirm whether any mounting components add to the stated height.
Ondelle uses G9 bulbs, with a specified warm-white color temperature of 3000K. Select bulbs with the correct voltage, physical size, and permitted wattage for the fixture. Bulb quantity, maximum wattage, and whether bulbs are included should be confirmed with Severnlighting before ordering.
Dimming depends on the G9 bulbs and the wall dimmer used together. The G9 socket alone does not guarantee dimmability. If dimming is required, ask us to confirm a compatible bulb and dimmer combination before purchase; do not assume the standard configuration is dimmable.
This model is specified for indoor dry areas with an IP20 rating. It is not waterproof and should not be exposed to spray, condensation, or outdoor weather. Choose a fixture specifically rated for the intended bathroom or outdoor location instead.
Every shade is made by hand. Small variations in the curves, surface texture, thickness, and color are part of the handmade process, so no two panels are exactly alike. Cracks, sharp chips, or transport damage should be reported and are not considered normal handmade variation.
Yes. Body finishes and glass colors can be customized. Contact Severnlighting with the finish reference, glass tone, quantity, and project requirements before placing your order. Availability, price, and preparation time should be confirmed for the requested configuration.
That depends on room dimensions, ceiling height, bulb lumen output, glass color, and the brightness you prefer. Brown glass may transmit less visible light than clear glass. Use the placement diagrams as a starting point and combine with bedside, task, or supplementary lighting when needed.
This is a ceiling-mounted fixture. Have a qualified installer verify the ceiling support, electrical compatibility, mounting hardware, and final clearance. For cleaning, switch off the power and allow bulbs to cool. Wipe the glass with a soft cloth and dry fully; avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaners on the plated frame.
Average preparation time is 5–10 days before dispatch. This is separate from shipping time. Custom finishes or glass colors may require a different schedule; confirm timing with Severnlighting before ordering for a time-sensitive project.
