Mezzo Pendant Light by CTO Lighting

Mezzo is a small pendant with a soft opal glass ball on a slim brass drop rod, made by CTO Lighting of London. The ball is 4.7 in across and the fitting is 5.9 in high.

It comes in 3 finishes: Satin Brass, Bronze and Antique Bronze.

The Design Story

Mezzo is modern with an Italian retro feel: a simple, timeless pendant that suits almost any interior. A soft opal glass ball hangs from a sleek brass drop rod that you can cut to size for your room. CTO shows it alone, or in groups of three over a long table or kitchen island.

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

The metalwork is hand-finished brass, and the shade is soft opal glass. CTO assembles each Mezzo 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 sits quietly against the white glass.

Why You’ll Love It

Mezzo is small, so it hangs well in a group. Three over a kitchen island or long table make a clean line of soft light. The opal glass keeps the glow even, and the rod cuts to the height you need.

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 leading- or trailing-edge dimmer to dim. It weighs 2.2 lb. It is IP20 for dry indoor rooms and hangs from a 39.4 in drop rod you can shorten on site. Dust with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Skip detergents and abrasives.

Size in Inches

CTO lists Mezzo at 120 mm across and 150 mm high (4.7 in by 5.9 in). The diagram is in the photo gallery.

Questions We Hear Most

Is the Mezzo pendant dimmable?

Yes, with a dimmable bulb. CTO lists a leading- or trailing-edge dimmer 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 change how far it hangs?

Yes. The 39.4 in (1000 mm) rod can be cut to size on site. The minimum overall drop is 7.7 in (195 mm).

How many should I hang together?

CTO suggests groups of three over a long table or kitchen island, and it also works alone.

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
