Aella (1968) remains one of the icons of Leucos, representing our vision to bring a fresh, contemporary point of view to traditional hand-blown glass techniques. As a Maestro from the Veneto region of Italy hand blows Aella, they create a stunning cone of glass frozen in its diffuser. As if by magic, a vortex of light appears to float inside this glass cone when lite up and beautifully illuminates your space. Toso & Massari’s design inspiration was Aella (the Ancient Greek word for “whirlwind”), who was the first Amazon warrior princess bold enough to lunge at Heracles.
