Abstract is a wall light shaped like a leaf, machined from satin brass with two simple folds, and made by CTO Lighting of London. It is 8 in wide, 3 in deep and 15 in tall.
It comes in 3 finishes: Satin Brass, Bronze and Antique Bronze.
The Design Story
CTO designed Abstract as a leaf, shaped with two simple folds, and a contemporary art feature for the wall. The shade rotates, so you can turn each light to make your own arrangement. It suits group installations, and the pictures show trios and pairs placed at different angles.
The Story of CTO Lighting
Chris and Clare Turner founded CTO Lighting in London in 1998 on one principle: design lights of uncompromising quality, using only the finest materials and working with elite British craftsmen. Chris is an engineer who designs and builds with meticulous detail, and Clare brings the eye of fashion. Together they built a name for understated luxury in hand-finished brass, mouth-blown glass and artisan-cut stone, and the collection has gone on to light The Savoy, The Dorchester, St Pancras Renaissance Hotel and Chiltern Firehouse.
How It Was Made
CTO machines each leaf from satin brass and finishes it by hand. The direction of the finishing changes slightly on each face, which adds to the quality of the surface. CTO assembles each Abstract to order in England.
The Finishes
Satin Brass. Warm golden tones and a brushed, satin surface give a soft sheen that feels luxurious but understated. CTO selects the metal for its durability and beauty.
Bronze. Deep, rich color and a robust build bring a touch of historical weight to a modern room, with a warm, inviting glow.
Antique Bronze. A darker, aged bronze tone that suits low light and quiet, moody rooms.

Why You’ll Love It
It works as a small piece of wall art that also gives light. Hang one for a quiet accent or three in a loose cluster. Because the shade turns, you can change the look later without any tools.
Made for Real Life
The 110-130V version takes one G9 bulb, 25W maximum halogen or a 2.3W LED at 2700K, and needs a dimmable bulb with a trailing-edge (phase-cut) rotary dimmer to dim. It weighs 2.2 lb and is IP20 for dry indoor rooms. Dust with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Skip detergents and abrasives.

Questions We Hear Most
Can the shade be turned?
Yes. CTO designed the shade to rotate so you can arrange a group of lights in your own composition.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, with a dimmable bulb. CTO lists a trailing-edge (phase-cut) rotary dimmer as standard for the 110-130V version.
What bulb does it take?
One G9 bulb, 25W maximum halogen or a 2.3W LED at 2700K. CTO does not list a bulb as supplied.
Can I install several together?
Yes. CTO says the design suits group installations.
How do I clean it?
Dust with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. If a mark remains, use a slightly damp lint-free cloth, then dry it with a soft dry one. CTO advises against detergents and abrasive cleaners.
Why We Love It
Abstract is a bit of brass sculpture that happens to give light. One is calm, and three together look like a small piece of art.
