Whistler Wall Light by CTO Lighting

Whistler is a slim wall light with a curved shade of cloudy, translucent glass and small satin brass pins, made by CTO Lighting of London. It is 5.5 in wide, 4.9 in deep and 11.8 in tall.

It comes in Satin Brass with a fritted glass shade.

The Design Story

Whistler balances a traditional design with a modern one. CTO's artisans texture the curved glass in a long process to get a cloudy, translucent finish, and a few brass details finish it. The narrow profile suits tight spaces such as hallways and staircases.

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 texture each glass shade by hand in a long process, then CTO fits the brass detailing and assembles the light 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.

Fritted glass. The glass has a fine, frosted grain that scatters the light into a cloudy, even glow and hides the bulb.

Why You’ll Love It

The glass looks soft in the day and glows at night. The slim shape leaves room to walk past, and the brass pins add a small, tidy detail.

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 6.6 lb. CTO rates its bathroom range IP44 but notes the lights are not damp rated at 110-130V, so use this one in dry indoor spaces and check local code. Dust with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Skip detergents and abrasives.

Size in Inches

CTO lists Whistler at 140 mm wide, 125 mm deep and 300 mm high (5.5 in by 4.9 in by 11.8 in). The diagram is in the photo gallery.
