Itre is a modern Italian company that produces lighting in Murano glass. It was founded by Carlo Nason, who started the company in Murano, Italy.

Leucos and iTRE are both Italian high-end lighting brands that merged under the same group (Leucos USA/FDV Group) in 2008. Although they share production quality and a focus on design, they have different aesthetic approaches:

Leucos is primarily known for its expertise in traditional glass craftsmanship, particularly using Venetian ‘incamiciato’ (layered) opal glass to create elegant, modern and often classic-modern lamps.

iTRE (sometimes stylised as iTre) functions more as a design laboratory or ‘experimental’ department, focusing on contemporary, avant-garde and technical designs using a wider range of materials, including metal, plastic, textiles and composites.


Relationship: iTRE is a brand under the Leucos umbrella.

Style: Leucos is known for its glass craftsmanship; iTRE is known for experimental materials and avant-garde shapes.

Market: Both target the high-end residential and hotel sectors.

Common ownership: Both are part of the former FDV group and now operate under the name Leucos, where they often appear together in collections.
