LEONARDO                                 
‘IN LOVE WITH GLASS – for more than 150 YEARS’


“We want people to experience glass in a new way with LEONARDO, over and over again, all day, every day.”

The Bad Driburg firm of glaskoch B. Koch jr. GmbH + Co. KG has been dedicated to that aim of firing people with enthusiasm for glass as a material for more than 150 years. Today, as ever, things are always on the move. The company, now headed by the fifth generation of the family, is hard at work on new ideas and new objectives with a view to sustainability in order to continue to innovate in the future, so as to appeal to new generations and convince them in turn.  

Created nearly 40 years ago, the LEONARDO brand rapidly evolved from a supplier of giftware made from glass into a modern lifestyle brand with 80% brand awareness.

As well as vases, table lanterns, table lights and other decorative products LEONARDO now also supplies basic everyday articles like cups, plates and glasses. In addition, various emotive themes tied in with seasonal trends are featured at different times of the year.  
The range includes the appropriate articles in glass for any style of interior decoration, from country style interpreted with a Scandinavian or Mediterranean feel to the classic modern décor with an elegant look.

Glass for the senses • A progressive way of thinking and an innovative way of doing have created scope for new things. As well as glass for decorating and glass for drinking out of, nowadays there is also glass for appeal.
2006 saw the arrival of the first jewellery collection in glass combined with polished stainless steel, under the ‘jewels by LEONARDO’ name.

The ‘LEONARDO living’ product segment was added in 2009. Our glass for interior decoration is marketed in collaboration with big-name partners from the furniture industry. The living room and bathroom furniture ‘made in Germany’ has glass integrated into it and the design and styling are a perfect fit with the LEONARDO brand.

Through these various developments the aim of making glass an everyday material has been achieved and further pursued.

glass cube •  The unveiling of the LEONARDO glass cube in 2007 gave architectural expression to the corporate vision and the brand vision and made it something tangible for visitors to experience. The blend of soft, organic structures and a clear, straight-line glass shell conveys the three LEONARDO brand values of inspiration, emotion and quality in a very special way. This is the perfect home for the LEONARDO brand and the ideal interface between the in-house team, distributors and customers.  The building inspires and invites visitors to experience the world of LEONARDO for themselves and to immerse themselves in it.
