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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Was Made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shades are hand-spun in metal and finished in bronze and brass by CTO's craftspeople, and CTO assembles each Carapace to order in England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Finishes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze with satin brass details.\u003c\/strong\u003e A deep, rich bronze outer shade over a warm brass inner layer.
