Why we chose the Cottam
A statement bar light with a softer, warmer finish.
We chose the Cottam because it gives you the visual impact of a pendant bar without the heavier look of a single solid fitting.
The slim black frame keeps it clean and architectural, while the amber glass globes add warmth and help soften the overall appearance.
The staggered arrangement of the six lights also gives it a more decorative feel, making it a great option for customers who want something more distinctive above a kitchen island.
Perfect for Kitchen Islands
At 110cm long, the Cottam is particularly well suited to medium and larger kitchen islands.
As a guide, it should work especially well over islands around 180–220cm long, allowing enough space at either end so the fitting feels proportionate rather than oversized.
It can also work on slightly shorter or longer islands depending on the look you want, but for most layouts I’d suggest:
Around 160–180cm island: creates a fuller, more statement look
Around 180–220cm island: ideal proportion for most installations
Around 220–240cm+ island: still works well, particularly if you prefer more space around the fitting
Because the six lights are arranged across one 110cm bar, the Cottam gives you the effect of multiple pendants while requiring just one coordinated ceiling fitting.

Explore More Pendants
Discover more styles designed for kitchen islands.
The Anston 9 Light Pendant Bar combines nine individually suspended light heads with a clean matt black rectangular ceiling plate.
Measuring 100cm long and 32cm wide, the fitting creates an impressive focal point above larger kitchen islands while spreading the individual lights across a wider area.
The staggered arrangement gives the Anston a more sculptural appearance than a conventional linear bar, while the matt black finish keeps the design modern and easy to coordinate with black hardware, taps and contemporary kitchen finishes.
Supplied as one complete fitting, the Anston offers the visual impact of a multi-pendant installation without the need for nine separate ceiling roses.
The York Pendant Light combines a wide ribbed glass shade with a warm amber tint, brass detailing and a clean black suspension.
Measuring 34cm wide, it has a substantial scale that makes it particularly effective over kitchen islands where smaller pendants can sometimes feel lost.
The softly tinted ribbed glass adds warmth and texture, catching the light beautifully while allowing the central bulb to remain visible. Brass detailing complements the amber tone, while the black suspension keeps the overall look modern and balanced.
Available individually or in coordinated sets of three and five, the York is ideal for creating a strong focal point above medium to large kitchen islands.
