Peter Bowles and Original BTC: Bone China Lighting for Real Rooms

Where the Hector works

The Hector, one of his first designs, is a bone china dome. Hang a row of pendants over a kitchen island, use the wall version beside a mirror or a bed, and keep the table lamp for a desk or console: the same shape ties the rooms together.

Why bone china

Bone china glows when lit, so it gives warm, diffused light without glare. Original BTC casts it in its own Stoke-on-Trent factory over several days, which is why each piece is made in England.
