I’ve always told my friends and family that small town Italy would be the perfect place to live if they’d accept a little 21st century technology. Especially for us mandatory-internet-employed types, the magic of this country diminishes ever so slightly when you’re drinking seven espressos to balance a slow connection. Believe me. Many thanks to Leucos, Italian artistry in lighting design is not lost on innovation.

Block S100. Designed by Leucos USA.

Recently Leucos introduced five new models to their collection, one of which is a gorgeous suspension light called Block S100. Its name must have been donned from its shape since it looks like a long, simple bar. Since Leucos has always attracted the commercial, hospitality, and high-end residential markets, Block S100 might serves its purpose above a luxurious dining room table or a conference room table.

Rather understated, their new suspension light is created to hang simply, no bulbs peeking out or enormous shade to duck under. The ADA compliant Block S100 is constructed out of a bright steel structure with a stunning silk-screened glass. There are three designs of silk-screening to choose from: a platinum look with 3D effect, a platinum pattern on white base, or a pure white design. No matter which design you opt for, its optimal size of 39-3/8″ length x 4-3/8″ height, along with the uncomplicated linear edges, keep your lofty space uncluttered at its 78-3/4″ drop length.

Crafted in Italy but with a New York hub for distribution, Leucos is definitely thinking ahead. The speed of the Block S100 arriving promptly to your doorstep might end our interior search for the best signal.
