CTO Lighting Trace Pendant

The CTO Lighting Trace Pendant from CTO Lighting is a decorative ceiling pendant that combines sculptural form with purposeful illumination. Constructed in metal with a dark, matte appearance, the Trace functions as a central light source and a three-dimensional design element within an interior.

The design reads as a minimalist, mobile-like composition: two slender, elongated metal bars with a rectangular cross-section are gently curved and intersect asymmetrically to create dynamic geometry. The pendant is offered in Antique Bronze and Bronze finishes and is available with either a Mounted Plate or Rose canopy.

Crafted from metal, the fixture’s bars are finished in a dark, matte metallic tone and terminate in translucent, crystalline rectangular end caps. The ends are capped precisely to suggest clarity of form while the structure is suspended from the ceiling by four thin, discreet vertical cables.

Integrated light sources are housed within the four translucent end caps to provide discrete points of illumination. This arrangement delivers balanced pools of light around the fixture and establishes a sculptural focal point while keeping contrast and shadow controlled.

The ceiling pendant is rated IP20 and comes with a one-year manufacturer’s warranty. The Trace is supplied with a choice of canopy (Mounted Plate or Rose); because the light uses integrated light sources, confirm driver and dimming compatibility at specification stage for project requirements.

At Lighting Design Online we present the Trace as a design-led choice for interiors that need both presence and considered light. Our guidance focuses on achieving the right outcome—clarity in form, assurance in specification and practical, project-friendly support when you’re planning installation.
