Robert True Ogden started making lamps twenty years ago with a self-taught background in metalworking and a playful consideration of how a lamp should function. Today he continues to design innovative work by combining practical mechanics, the inherent qualities of his materials and the essence of light.

RTO Lighting offers a variety of lighting solutions that will transform any space. We see each piece we produce as special and unique, therefore all of our lighting is hand crafted by a small team of artists and makers in Robert True Ogden's Philadelphia studio.
