Hector Size 3 Pendant by Original BTC

Original BTC Hector Size 3 Pendant is a pendant light designed by Peter Bowles and made in England by the Oxfordshire lighting house founded by Peter Bowles in 1990.

Wired for North America (120V AC).

The Design Story

When Peter Bowles founded Original BTC in Oxfordshire in 1990, he became the first designer to put bone china into lighting, and the Hector was one of his first designs. It quickly became a classic around the world; the Hector 30 versions add satin brass metalwork, made for the company’s 30th anniversary. Every bone china piece is cast in Original BTC’s own Stoke-on-Trent factory, a multi-day process of pouring, drying, hand finishing and firing that gives the material its glow.

Why You’ll Love It

The dome glows softly through the china, the braided cotton cable adds a crafted detail, and the shade moves to put light where you want it. Bone china is the signature of Original BTC: founder Peter Bowles was the first designer to use it for lighting, and it turns a lamp into a soft, translucent source of light.

Made for Real Life

An electrician connects it to a ceiling box. You choose the drop at installation. Switch it off, then dust it with a soft cloth or wipe with plain water and dry it well. Treat the shade like fine china, because it is.
