Ring Table Lamp by CTO Lighting

Ring is a table lamp of stacked metal rings under a dove grey silk shade, made by CTO Lighting of London. It stands 25.2 in high and 11.8 in across.

It comes in 2 finishes: Bronze and Satin Brass, each with satin brass details.

The Design Story

Ring is CTO's tribute to chiaroscuro, the art of using strong contrasts between light and shadow. CTO set out to create that effect within a single fitting: the light from within highlights the difference between the ring sizes, so the piece reads as sculpture when it is off and plays with light and shadow when it is on.

CTO describes Ring Table as an architectural table lamp with a nod to traditional design. It can stand alone or sit with the Ring wall and pendant lights.

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's artisans make every Ring light to order in England, and finish the stacked metal rings in bronze, satin brass or satin nickel, depending on the piece.

The Finishes

Bronze. Deep, rich color and a robust build bring a touch of historical weight to a modern room, with a warm, inviting glow.

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.

Dove Grey Silk Shade. A dove grey silk shade with a silk diffuser gives the lamp a soft, even glow and keeps the bulb out of sight.

Why You’ll Love It

Ring Table has presence on a console, a sideboard or a bedside table. The rings catch the light and throw shadow across the base, and the silk shade keeps the glow soft. Pair it with the Ring wall light or pendant for a matched scheme.

Made for Real Life

The 110-130V version takes one E26 bulb, up to 60W or an 8W LED at 2700K, and it needs a dimmable bulb to dim. An inline dimmer sits on the 78.7 in (2000 mm) black cord, which ends in a US plug. It weighs 8.8 lb and is IP20 for dry indoor rooms. Dust with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Skip detergents and abrasives.

Size in Inches

CTO lists Ring Table at 11.8 in across and 25.2 in high (300 x 640 mm), and it weighs 8.8 lb (4 kg).
