Our Story

A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Design Innovation

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. This refinement in the use of materials enabled CTO Lighting to be recognised as a contemporary, luxury lighting company, manufacturing in the UK.

We pride ourselves on our commitment to using noble materials and upholding the tradition of British craftsmanship. Each of our lighting fixtures is meticulously crafted using the finest materials from within Europe, including hand-finished brass, mouth-blown glass, and artisan-crafted stone. Our dedication to quality and attention to detail ensure that every piece we create exudes elegance and sophistication. With a legacy of excellence spanning over two decades, we continue to set the standard for luxury lighting, combining timeless design with the unparalleled skill of British artisans.
