Heron is a slim wall light with a moveable cylindrical shade, designed by Michaël Verheyden for CTO Lighting of London. It is made for focused reading light.
It comes in 2 finishes: Bronze and Satin Brass.
The Design Story
Michaël Verheyden designed Heron to show off the noble quality of materials. On the wall the idea shrinks to a short arm and a moveable cylinder, a timeless piece with a sleek profile.
The Designer: Michaël Verheyden
Michaël Verheyden is an internationally acclaimed Belgian designer who joins the long tradition of Flemish design and expert workmanship with elemental forms. His work celebrates rich, natural materials such as wood, marble, leather and bronze, and pairs archetypal, architectural geometry with warmth. He has won the Henry Van de Velde award for talented young designers and received the Wallpaper design award three times, and Wallpaper named him to its 2016 Powerlist of the world’s most influential designers. He also designed CTO’s Lucid collection.
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 assembles every light to order. Heron is built around the quality of its metalwork and finish: the slim stem and the cylindrical shade are made in solid metal, and the shade is easily moveable so you can aim the light exactly where you need it.
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.
Why You’ll Love It
Heron Wall is a good reading light for a studio, a home office or a bedside. The shade moves easily so you can aim the beam, and a dimmable GU10 LED bulb lets you set the level.
Made for Real Life
The 110-130V version is built for US homes and takes a GU10 LED bulb with a dimmable bulb. Dust with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth and avoid abrasives on the metal.
