Pendulum Pendant Light by CTO Lighting

Pendulum is a hand-blown curved glass shade hung from an elegant stem and a minimal ceiling rose, designed by Dan Yeffet for CTO Lighting of London. An integrated LED sits at its core and can be dimmed.

It comes in 2 finishes: Satin Brass and Bronze, each with smoked glass.

The Design Story

Dan Yeffet drew the Pendulum collection from the timepiece and its mesmerising, hypnotic quality. Balance and refinement are the key ideas: a curved glass shade holds a core of light that seems to hang in the air, and the light appears to move in concentric bands as you look at it.

The Designer: Dan Yeffet

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 shade is hand-blown curved glass in a smoked tint, and the metalwork is solid, hand-finished in satin brass or bronze. An integrated, dimmable LED sits inside the glass.

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.

Smoked Glass. A smokey tint softens the light output and gives a warm, diffused, atmospheric glow, with small variations in shape and color from piece to piece.

Why You’ll Love It

Hang Pendulum alone or in a group. Several together make a strong centrepiece in an atrium or over a stairwell, and a single one works well beside a bed or over a console. The warm 2700K light dims smoothly.

Made for Real Life

The 110-130V version has an integrated LED, dimmable, and hangs from a 1000 mm (39.4 in) rod. Dust with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners on the metal and glass.

Size in Inches

CTO lists Pendulum Pendant at 12.6 in wide, 5.9 in deep and 20.7 in high (320 x 150 x 525 mm), hung from a 1000 mm rod. The minimum drop is 26.2 in (665 mm).
