Item Description
Designed in 1970 by the legendary Carlo Nason for the esteemed Murano glass house A. V. Mazzega, this floor lamp exemplifies the sophisticated minimalism that defined Nason’s revolutionary approach to glass lighting. Where traditional Murano glass leaned toward vibrant ornamentation, Nason drew inspiration from the clean lines of Japanese design, creating works of striking modern simplicity. The lamp commands attention through its masterful interplay of materials and form: · A round black enameled steel column rises with architectural precision, its matte finish creating a dramatic counterpoint to the luminous glass · A beautiful brown marble base grounds the piece with organic warmth and substantial presence · A polished chrome frame supports hand-blown Murano glass shades that diffuse light with ethereal beauty · Each glass element bears the unmistakable mark of Venetian glass masters—irreplaceable artistry that cannot be replicated today Carlo Nason’s influence on modern glassmaking is profound. Beginning his craft at just 11 years old in his family’s furnace, Nason went on to design exclusively for Mazzega Murano throughout the 1970s and 1980s—a period widely regarded as his most creative . His work has been exhibited at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York, and his pieces are sought after by collectors worldwide . This spectacular lamp stands approximately 175 cm (70 inches) tall and has been professionally prepared for immediate installation in US homes—the wiring is suitable for American electrical systems.
