egg-shaped bulbs tucked in ceramic bricks light up around modular wall and chair lamp

"The collaboration between the Italian lighting brand and design studio works around two types: a square 15×15 centimeter tile and a rectangular 30×10 centimeter one. Both can be installed on walls or ceilings, arranged in grids, staggered patterns, or mixed configurations, the same freedom one can have with any standard tile system, but now with egg-shaped light diffusers built in."

"That modularity means Glowtile isn't a light fitting placed in a room. Here, it becomes a playful set of glazed ceramic bricks that users can compose a design object or artwork from."

"The modular lighting system Glowtile comes in three finishes: Chalk Blue, a pale, dusty tone like the inside of an old swimming pool; Oyster White, warm and creamy; and Mineral Grey, evoking a more architectural vibe. Set into each tile is a handblown glass diffuser shaped like eggs, held inside a ring of anodized aluminum."

Glowtile is a modular lighting system debuted at the 2026 Matter and Shape fair in Paris, created through collaboration between Italian lighting brand Leucos and design studio RedDuo. The system features two tile sizes—15×15 centimeters square and 30×10 centimeters rectangular—each containing hand-blown glass egg-shaped diffusers set in anodized aluminum rings. Available in three finishes (Chalk Blue, Oyster White, and Mineral Grey), the tiles can be installed on walls or ceilings in grids, staggered patterns, or mixed configurations. Beyond traditional wall mounting, tiles can be stacked to form furniture or positioned on floors to project light upward, transforming the system into a playful design object rather than conventional lighting fixtures.
