As the nights begin to draw in, and with the unmistakable chill in the air, our attention turns to cosy and inviting spaces. An autumnal colour palette of rich browns and textured neutrals, combined with tactile materials - boucle, velvet, and mohair - helps to warm up any interior, and so unsurprisingly is extremely popular during this time of the year.

Satin brass and bronze finishes are the perfect accompaniment to this scheme, harmonising with the warmer tones and hues. While satin brass can help lift a darker backdrop, the rich hues and patination of a bronze finish add a moodier, more contemporary aesthetic.

Every product at CTO Lighting is skilfully processed by hand using high-quality raw materials. Artisanal techniques are used to create exquisite, machined solid brass. The architectural metalwork of RING is available in the brand's trademark satin brass and bronze finishes, curated from beginning to end to ensure the best aesthetic.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match finishes for a fresh new take. This works well when the metals are tonally similar and can even be achieved within the same lighting fixture - beautifully illustrated by CTO Lighting's IVY 8 Pendant. Drawing inspiration from nature and organic growth, the arms of IVY, like plants bending and taking shape towards the sunlight, reach out towards all corners of the room and cast a wide pool of ambient light. The tinted glass shades add further drama to this statement pendant, creating a striking focal point.

Designed by the Belgian designer Michael Verheyden, whose aim was to design with the minimum aesthetic using ‘noble’ materials. The HERON has a quiet luxury achieved through the quality and craftsmanship of the metalwork and finish. Beautifully balancing form and function, the easily moveable shade allows you to focus illumination exactly where it is needed, perfect for placing on bedside tables, desks, and side tables.

Available in a satin brass or bronze finish, the streamlined, sleek profile of HERON make it a true timeless classic.
