Sculpted from finely honed alabaster and articulated with refined metal detailing, the Carapace Ceiling Mounted Light by CTO Lighting brings a composed architectural presence to interior ceilings. Its layered form draws inspiration from natural structures, creating depth while allowing light to filter softly through the stone. The surface texture becomes more expressive once illuminated, revealing subtle tonal variation within the alabaster.

Because alabaster is naturally veined, each piece is entirely unique—some appear almost translucent, while others display gentle grey marbling. When lit, Carapace emits a warm, atmospheric glow, making it particularly suited to living spaces, bedrooms and hallways where elegant ambient lighting is required.

The Maker

Recognising a growing demand for refined, contemporary lighting, CTO Lighting turned its focus towards the use of more luxurious materials. Under the guidance of founders Chris and Clare, the studio embraced hand-finished brass, mouth-blown glass and artisan-crafted stone, establishing a distinctive approach to materiality and detail. This considered refinement led to CTO Lighting being recognised as a British luxury lighting brand, with manufacturing rooted in the UK.CTO Lighting has collaborated with leading industry figures including David Collins Studio, Philippe Starck and Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, contributing to prestigious interiors worldwide. The studio has also been commissioned to create bespoke lighting for landmark destinations such as The Savoy, The Dorchester London, St Pancras Renaissance Hotel and Chiltern Firehouse.

Working with respected, award-winning designers including Autoban, Michael Verheyden and Stephane Parmentier, CTO Lighting continues to bring depth and character to its collections. In 2016, the brand opened its first exclusive London showroom, offering a dedicated space to present its work. Today, the collection is distributed globally through leading design-led retailers and specified by international interior designers and architects.
