This lamp designed by Carlo Nason stands out for its marked sculptural presence, with a large-format lampshade and undulating profile that evokes floral or marine forms, typical of the Murano experimentation of the seventies.

The transparent glass, with a textured surface, allows a vibrant reading of the light, while the amber applications run along the edge and the upper zone as if they were drops melted on the main body. This chromatic contrast adds depth and warmth, accentuating the handcrafted character of the piece.

The design combines technical virtuosity and formal expressiveness, placing it within the Italian tradition of artistic glass applied to lighting.

Carlo Nason belongs to a historic family of master glassmakers of Murano. He developed his career as a designer specializing in lighting, collaborating with leading Italian firms such as Mazzega, Selenova or Murano Due.
