Artisans of contemporary, decorative lighting installations, the CTO Lighting company offers a subversive, distinguished aesthetic that is uncompromising on quality. Working with elite British craftsmen, the CTO collection incorporates the finest materials, of which guides the fundamental principles of their designs. Founded in 1988 by Chris and Clare Turner, CTO celebrates the elegance and excellence of British design and manufacturing, honouring the experimental and insurgent aesthetic associated with British art and design. Inferential of this subversive, home-grown style, their inaugural collection implied the refinement of artisanal British craftsmanship, establishing a benchmark for all future collections. A collective career of engineering and commercial expertise determined an aesthetic led by artistry and innovation. CTO offer ultra-contemporary lighting installations, destined for those with a discerning eye. Luxurious materials and finishes contribute to the mesmeric, fascinating qualities of the collections - hand finished brass, mouthblown glass and artisan crafted stone frequent their collections. Collaborating with leading industry figures, including David Collins Studio, Philippe Starck and Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, CTO has also been commissioned for bespoke lighting fixtures at The Savoy Hotel, The Dorchester London, St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel and Chiltern Firehouse.
