Leontino Collection
Rigor of metal and lightness of glass
Design by Leo De Carlo
The Leontino collection reflects the historical bond between Venice and Brescia by blending Venetian glass with Brescian metal.
This furniture line transforms centuries of cultural alliance into a contemporary design language, beautifully balancing Brescia's industrial strength with Venice's artistic craftsmanship.

Metal rigor and glass lightness
The Leontino collection by Leo De Carlo for Arte Veneziana celebrates the 1400s bond between Venice and Brescia. Two distinct cities find an aesthetic synthesis, transforming historical tension into design balance. The name itself honors the "Lioness" epithet Venice gave to Brescia.
The design balances Venetian glass—symbol of light—and Brescian metal, emblem of industrial strength. Metal rigor defines the contours, while glass transparency adds lightness. Together, Brescian solidity and Venetian refinement merge industrial ingenuity and high craft.

Strength does not need monuments of stone; it reflects best in the transparency of light.Fyodor Dostoevsky
