The Sustainable Details

Original BTC’s consideration of every little detail goes beyond the components of each light fixture. The company knows the impact of home design on the planet and has made it their mission to zero in on the miles each employee travels to work, how often trips are made to suppliers, the use of LED lightbulbs, a thorough recycling policy, and paperless offices.

These efforts explore the ways contemporary furniture brands can combat throw-away culture, foster collaborative relationships with local makers and craftsmen, and inspire homes and customers that love beauty inside and outside the home.

Handcrafted Modern Lights with Original BTC

Founder Peter Bowles jumpstarted Original BTC’s legacy of innovative craftsmanship by capturing the world’s attention with the use of bone China (found in the elegant, flirtatious ripples of the Christie Pendant).

These handcrafted modern lights bring the Original BTC mission into focus, showcasing a level of dedication to tradition and innovation that has already defined a new era of contemporary home lighting.
