Our lighting, from CTO lighting

The CTO lighting brand was created by Chris and Clare Turner in 1997. The two have combined their personal skills to create attractive collections. Chris is an engineer by training. He worked for many years at Arup, where he acquired extensive technical expertise in the design and manufacture of luminaires. Clare, on the other hand, shares her creative know-how. Working in the fashion industry, she has added valuable knowledge and experience to the brand. With this expertise combined with a passion for design, the two launched their first collection at Top Drawer in 1997. Very modern and fresh, this collection quickly won over major brands such as Habitat and The Conran Shop. This collection was to be their main source of inspiration for subsequent collections, always based on excellence and elegance.

It was after realizing that demand for high-end lighting was on the rise that the two founders began to focus on luxurious materials such as hand-finished brass, blown glass and hand-crafted stone. The brand quickly became recognized as a modern, luxury lighting brand.

To create varied, original and authentic collections, Chris and Clare call on the greatest international designers and architects. The brand became a global reference and is distributed worldwide.

In 2016, CTO lighting opened its first showroom in London. A place where their luxurious luminaires are on display.
