Founded in 1998 by Chris and Clare Turner, CTO Lighting launched their first collection on the guiding principles of designing lights of uncompromising quality, using only the finest materials and working with elite British craftsmen.
This collection of lighting symbolised elegance and the excellence of British design and manufacturing; the benchmark for all future collections. Chris, CEO, an engineer by training, gained great technical expertise to design and manufacture lighting with meticulous detail. Clare, Creative Director, formerly worked in fashion and has provided invaluable design and commercial expertise. Realising there was a demand for more premium, contemporary lighting , Chris and Clare focused on more luxurious materials in their fixtures; hand finished brass, mouthblown glass and artisan crafted stone.
