Lucid Table Lamp by CTO Lighting

Lucid is a dome of honed alabaster on a precision-engineered brass base, designed by Michaël Verheyden for CTO Lighting of London. The LED sits beneath the surface of the stone, so the light passes up through the natural veining.

It comes in 2 sizes and 3 finishes: Bronze, Satin Brass and Silvered Oxidised Brass, each with honed alabaster.

The Design Story

Michaël Verheyden drew Lucid from two memories: the glass globes of Parisian brasseries and the quiet interior of a snow dome. As a table light the idea becomes a small, heavy dome that sits low on a surface like a sculpture. A single piece of honed alabaster does the work of the shade, and the veining glows from within, so no two lamps look quite alike.

The Designer: Michaël Verheyden

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. The base is precision-engineered brass, and for the silvered finish CTO worked with a small silversmith to experiment with new surfaces and arrived at a textured finish that layers brass, silver and oxidised brass. The alabaster is honed, so the stone feels soft and the light passes through evenly.

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.

Silvered Oxidised Brass. A dual-tone surface made by controlled oxidation followed by a subtle silvering, with a nuanced patina that adds texture and depth. It is the most expressive finish in the range.

Honed Alabaster. Every piece is cut from natural stone, prized for its soft, diffused light. The veining occurs naturally, so no two are alike, from almost white to grey-veined.

Why You’ll Love It

Lucid Table adds a touch of luxury to side tables, bedsides and consoles. It gives a warm 2700K glow, dims smoothly, and looks as good switched off as lit. Use the 200 as a pair beside a bed, and the 300 where you want a stronger centrepiece.

Made for Real Life

The 110-130V version is built for US homes with a standard E12 (200) or E26 (300) LED bulb, a dimmable bulb and a trailing-edge (phase-cut) dimmer. Dust with a soft dry, lint-free cloth and use a slightly damp cloth for marks. Skip detergents and abrasives on alabaster and metal.

Sizes in Inches: What 200 and 300 Mean

CTO names its sizes by body width in millimetres. Lucid Table 200 is 200 mm wide (7.9 in) and Lucid Table 300 is 300 mm wide (11.8 in). The diagram is in the photo gallery.

Questions We Hear Most

What do Lucid Table 200 and Lucid Table 300 mean?

CTO names the sizes by body width in millimetres. Lucid Table 200 is 7.9 in (200 mm) wide and 7.1 in (180 mm) high. Lucid Table 300 is 11.8 in (300 mm) wide and 10.2 in (260 mm) high.

Is the Lucid table lamp dimmable?

Yes. CTO specifies a dimmable LED bulb, which lets you soften the glow of the alabaster.

What bulb does it use in the US?

The 110-130V version takes one LED bulb only: an E12 at 6.5W, 2700K for the Lucid Table 200, or an E26 at 8W, 2700K for the Lucid Table 300.

How heavy is it?

The Lucid Table 200 weighs 8.8 lb (4 kg) and the Lucid Table 300 weighs 19.8 lb (9 kg), a solid base for a table lamp.

How do I clean the alabaster and metal?

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 on alabaster and metal.

Who designed the Lucid table lamp?

Michaël Verheyden designed it for CTO Lighting, inspired by Parisian brasseries and snow domes. CTO builds it in honed alabaster on a brass base.
