Leonardo Marelli was the founder of, and for many years the sole designer for, the Spanish lighting firm Estudi Estiluz. Eventually, designers, mechanics and engineers joined Leonardo to create a team fully devoted to the design and development of new products.
Since its origins, Estiluz has been devoted to design, development, manufacturing, and the distribution of high-range decorative lighting products. The firm's elegant, functional and timeless designs, superb quality materials and finishes and product engineering have made it a global pioneer in the lighting sector.
Leonardo’s lighting fixtures reveal clean structural lines and strong forms that reinforce contemporary architectural interiors.
Fun fact: ‘Leonardo Marelli’ is actually an alias for Gerard Masdeu, who in 1969 began the process of turning his father’s garage into a lighting company with a renowned international presence. The alias was born in Milan, during Euroluce, during a moment of inspiration that occurred while Gerard was riding on the Red Line subway, and passed between the stations Sesto Leonardo and Sesto Marelli.
