"Glowtile works around a deceptively simple concept: glazed ceramic tiles, each fitted with an egg-shaped handblown glass diffuser set inside a ring of anodized aluminum. Two tile formats make up the system: a square 15×15 centimeter module and a rectangular 30×10 centimeter one. You can arrange them in grids, stagger them, mix both formats together, install them on walls, ceilings, or even set them on the floor to shoot light upward."
"Leucos has been making handblown glass lamps since 1962, born just outside Venice where craftsmanship and artisanship have been synonymous for centuries. Over more than 60 years, the brand has built a reputation around the kind of quality that doesn't cut corners. RedDuo is the newer voice in this partnership: a Milan-based interior design and creative studio founded in 2020 by Fabiola Di Virgilio and Andrea Rosso, two former fashion industry professionals."
"The ceramic tiles come in three finishes, all beautifully named: Chalk Blue, which reads like the inside of an old swimming pool; Oyster White, creamy and warm; and Mineral Grey, which skews more architectural and serious. Each feels considered rather than arbitrary, and the finish you choose radically changes the mood of the whole."
Glowtile, designed by RedDuo for Leucos, reimagines architectural lighting by integrating light-emitting elements directly into ceramic tiles. The system features glazed ceramic tiles fitted with egg-shaped handblown glass diffusers set within anodized aluminum rings, available in square (15×15 cm) and rectangular (30×10 cm) formats. Users can arrange tiles in grids, stagger them, or mix formats for installation on walls, ceilings, or floors. Three ceramic finishes—Chalk Blue, Oyster White, and Mineral Grey—each create distinct atmospheric qualities. This collaboration between Leucos, a Venetian glassmaking brand established in 1962, and RedDuo, a Milan-based design studio founded by former fashion professionals, combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary material-first design principles.
