There’s something so enduring about classic British design pieces. They feel solid, long-lasting and trustworthy. Think of the telephone kiosk; Roberts radio; the mini; even a Cadbury’s chocolate bar, they all convey integrity. And although produced in the 90s, the Original BTC Titan ceiling light feels no different.
Created by Peter Bowles, designer and owner of Original BTC lighting and inspired by the classic 1940s shape of factory lights of that time, the piece has been an interior design favourite since it came to the market. Its charm lies in the no frills, utilitarian aesthetic. Where design has received a bad name for putting style over substance, this piece does the opposite. The fact that it looks great in a kitchen or grouped over a table is simply a by-product. Playing on these durable themes of functionality, and British manufacturing heritage, has made the Titan ceiling light an instant design classic.
