The history of Leucos:

Founded in 1962, Leucos resulted from a masterful merge of rising design enthusiasm in the 1960s and the most refined traditions of handcrafted Murano glass. An artistic combination of Old World glass techniques and modern engineering, Leucos has become a renowned leader of contemporary glass lighting designs.

Steeped in rich Venetian tradition, Leucos impeccably blends Old World glass techniques with 21st century engineering. While the lighting marketplace’s needs for the expressive qualities of design continue to evolve, Leucos remains an inclusive lighting resource dedicated to contemporary, elegant style and timeless craftsmanship and quality as its foundation. Leucos deeply values the tradition and history that are synonymous with its name, yet continues to explore the cutting-edge techniques and innovative aesthetics that have made the company a visionary industry leader.

Leucos has progressed alongside the evolution of design, exploring new techniques of glass manufacturing and developing “light” through constant engineering innovations. With its artistic philosophy focused on the value of design, the company’s offerings continue to mature, emphasized by collaborations with renowned international designers. Its reputation for impressive style has strengthened Leucos’ brand throughout the world, carving a niche in both the “residential” and “contract” markets.

Today, Leucos presents a versatile and sophisticated line of specialty products, including recessed, pendant, wall, table and floor lamps. With extensive European distribution, Leucos boasts an impressive sales network throughout Italy and Germany. The company’s significant presence in the United States, a prestigious market for design disciplines, is focused on its North American headquarters and distribution center. Leucos USA is strategically located in Edison, NJ just south of New York City, where its 30,000 sq ft facility, stocks and quickly ships UL listed products throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
