EVENTS: CTO @ Euroluce
CTO @ EUROLUCE - Salone Milano, Fairground rho.
From across the pond CTO launched 3 new products. CASCATA a new Chandelier, the XL version of AVALON and a new uplight called TORRES. Before moving on, Milan is always a spectular deisgn show, very busy time around again. What I really enjoyed is the relaxed atmosphere of the Euroluce halls, maybe because it is a bit darker inside, the noise levels are so much more pleasant.
CASCATA is the new of the new chandelier made from fluid glass panels, it’s triangular frame creates a beautiful sculpture. It brings back memories to us from falling water , the renowned house of Frank Lloyd Wright in Pennsylvania. Cascata means falling water, the translucent glass panels given you the sense of running water. CTO puts such great craftmanship in it’s objects where the use of materials is of the highest standards.

Pendulum lighting range – by Dan Yeffet for CTO lighting
Designed by Dan Yeffet for CTO Lighting, balance and refinement are the key elements of the PENDULUM collection, inspired by the timepiece, with its mesmerising and hypnotic qualities. The PENDULUM collection emanates light, which appears to oscillate in concentric bands from the light source, encased and diffused by the mouth-blown, curved glass

NEW: Anvers by CTO lighting
Inspired by the linear plains of the Flemish landscape, the ANVERS collection embodies the low-lying profile of the terrain with its refined silhouette, whilst creating maximum impact through its exquisite disc of natural alabaster stone. The translucent disc of honed alabaster is encased within solid brass, creating a pure and elegant piece. The natural striations within the alabaster, produce an individual and distinctive feature.
