Carlo Nason
A mid-century modern reference for today’s Murano glassmakers, Carlo Nason influenced the current tradition of glassmaking on an island renowned for it for hundreds of years. Celebrated for their exceptional designs, Nason’s lighting fixtures are sought after by collectors worldwide.
Learning to design and craft pieces from the family vetreria — rather than partaking in any formal training — Nason was working with the maestros at his family’s company furnace, V. Nason & C., attached to their family home by the time he was 11 years old. Although his roots are in Murano glassmaking, he took inspiration from the clean lines and natural colors of the Japanese metal vases he had seen in his youth at Milanese fairs.
Wanting to produce modern glass lamps, Nason worked with his family friend Gianni Mazzega of Mazzega Murano. For his Cascata chandelier (Italian for “waterfall”), which debuted in the 1960s, Nason achieved the effect of cascading water through an inverted pyramid of hanging glass plates, each individually mouth-blown and suspended from a chrome-plated frame for a dazzling, Art Deco–styled display.
The 1970s and 1980s were productive and creative years for Nason as the sole and independent designer at Mazzega Murano. His prolific career has also seen him design for other lighting manufacturers like I TRE, Murano Due and Kalmar.
After a mere four years as a glassmaker, Carlo Nason had his creations displayed at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York. The credit for the artisan’s pieces that were included in “Glass 1959” went to his family’s company, but the designs were all authored by Carlo.
Stepping away from the traditional, vibrant Murano stylings, Nason kept true to his inspiration, working with modern and simple forms that are relatively free of color. Nason told Palainco in a rare 2019 interview that his emotions inspired the shapes. And his legacy includes fixtures that are irreplicable and unreproducible, too — Nason made lighting pieces with multiple layers of glass that would be too costly or difficult to recreate today, and some designs were made with processes and materials now unavailable or banned in the glassmaking world.

$3,955 Sale Price33% Off - Quadriennale 4 Arms Brass Chandelier, Twin Shades, Contrappeso, 4 Hues of BlueBy Silvio PiattelliLocated in Tavarnelle val di Pesa, FlorenceThe chandelier takes inspiration from the renowned light fixtures created by Italian mid-century modern studios Arteluce and Stilnovo in the 1950s, particularly Angelo Lelii's Triennale lamp. However, it introduces a unique and exclusive design aspect through the implementation of four different hues of blue on each shade. These color variations create a delicate contrast between each arm, imparting a modern flair to the overall aesthetic. This chandelier features four counterbalanced arms that can be moved up and down and also slightly lateral movement. With its pivoting shades, this chandelier effortlessly distributes light throughout the room. The upper shades contribute to ambient lighting, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the lower shades provide task and direct lighting. Each arm has a counterweight in the same color of the opposite shade. There are infinitive positions for this chandelier and the crossing design of the arms are creating a distinctive appeal. The shades themselves are meticulously crafted from spun aluminum and the distinctive line of small holes preserves the authentic mid-century aesthetic. Each shade consists of two separate cones, with a candelabra socket on the smaller cone and a regular socket on the larger lower dome-shaped shade. The chandelier's arms and body are in solid brass lightly polished yet intentionally left unprotected to allow the natural patina to develop over time. Crafted by our specialized workshop dedicated to mid-century modern design, every aspect of this fixture is meticulously considered. The finish and appearance are carefully matched to the rare lamps of the 1950s that served as inspiration. The term "Quadriennale '' is a play on words. It originated from Angelo Lelii's "Triennale chandelier...Category
