Carlo Nason Murano Glass Table Lamp

This spectacular table lamp by Carlo Nason for Mazzega is made of Murano glass. As a descendant of a family that has specialized in making Murano glass for generations, it was Carlo who changed his course in relation to his relatives. While father Vincenzo was mainly concerned with traditional and beautifully decorated glass works, Carlo joined the modernist movement and started experimenting. 

Behind the Design:

This table lamp, the majority of which consists of Murano glass, is an object that will immediately attract attention. The technique used by the Murano glassblower is called lattimo, also known as milk glass. It looks like fine porcelain and is opaque and milky white in color. This glass technique was invented in Murano in the 15th century and in this specific case the maker added a beautiful blue to it and lets more light shine through than the white parts.The incandescent lamp ensures that the light is mainly directed downwards and thus spreads powerfully and diffusely. The aluminum base can be disconnected from the glass shade using three screws after which you will find an E27 type fitting.
