Original BTC

British manufacturer Original BTC was founded in 1990 by Peter Bowles. Breaking convention, Bowles was the first designer to use bone china in lighting, paving the way for his pioneering investment in British manufacturing. Original BTC has since grown and secured two further lighting brands 'Davey Lighting' and 'Beadlight'. Quality, detail and an interesting mix of materials are integral to each brand’s designs. These are created by using the best quality raw materials to their utmost capability, paying great attention to the concept and form. From using centuries old techniques to the very latest technology, all lights are handmade and manufactured in the UK.
