The CTO Lighting Shard Pendant from CTO Lighting is a pendant ceiling light in the Shard range. Its flared, petal-like shade is formed from multiple overlapping translucent panels with a honed, alabaster-like texture, creating a sculptural focal and delivering soft, diffused ambient illumination with upward spill through an open top.The design uses a blooming geometric arrangement of flat panels to produce a layered visual effect and reduce glare. The Shard is offered in Antique Bronze and Polished Nickel finishes, with shade options including Bronze Kiln Glass and Honed Alabaster to suit different schemes.Construction is metal for the suspension rod and the faceted, dark-toned housing that anchors the shade; the base is formed as a faceted inverted profile that secures the panels. The translucent panels show subtle veining and a stone-like appearance, adding tactile clarity and visual warmth to the fitting.Light is delivered as soft, warm illumination through the translucent panels while the open top throws light upward to the ceiling, helping to balance direct and reflected light. The overlapping panels diffuse the source and minimise glare, making the fixture effective as an ambient, decorative pendant for interior spaces.The Shard uses a rigid rod suspension that provides a fixed hanging height and stable mounting. The product carries an IP20 rating for interior use and a one-year manufacturer warranty.
