The Carapace Pendant from CTO Lighting draws inspiration from European bistro culture at the turn of the 20th century. It pairs a wide-brimmed bronze shade with a satin brass interior and a small hand-blown glass globe at its base. The broad, sheltering profile of the shade gives the fixture a strong overhead presence, while the brass lining introduces a warmer tonal quality from beneath. The piece is dimmable and finished with a handmade bronze chain as a considered detail.
