Über Leucos
MEHR üBER LEUCOS
lèuco - [from ancient greek λευκóς «white »]
The deep meaning of the ancient Greek word leuco contains a company’s mission and the quality of a collection of lighting objects that have found the right balance between tradition and innovative design.
This double meaning can be otherwise translated by the virtuous relationship between an established knowledge, such the Venetian art of glassmaking, and a glimpse into the future; the horizon is defined by the prefix leuco (white, colourless, lighter in colour), which in ancient Greek terminology was used to “lighten” the words it was attached to. White, light and bright are the authentic expression of modernity, and for fifty-five years they’ve embodied the desire to reinterpret the world, the courage to show new ways, and the ambition to dress the living space. Just like the prefix, the objects we manufacture cast a light on a way of thinking that is ahead of time and shows the patience of those who don’t run after fashions or delusions because they know they’re creating something that will last long. And the basis for this confidence is provided by the time spent to verify the consistency of the results.
Rather than a collection of individual objects, this is a collection of collections. Variants are qualified and well thought out, and form families of lights and glares. We like to think that, rather than lamps, we produce objects of affection that are suitable both for domestic and home environments, and for more formal and elegant spaces.
