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. 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.

- Vintage 1960s Italian Floor Lamp, Mazzega Style, Murano Glass and Chromed MetalBy MazzegaLocated in Milano, ITOffered for sale is a vintage floor lamp, made in Italy likely at the beginning of the 1960s. It has a self-standing structure in chromed metal and three large, thick Murano glass panels - each measuring 35cm in width and 65 in height - serving as lampshades. Said glass panels are amazing, and resemble the texture of an ice cube: the surface is smooth but irregular, and the glass itself ranges from clear to opaline white. They are preserved in flawless conditions, and are still shiny after all these years. The piece is lit by eight E14 light bulbs, and is in perfect working conditions. The wiring and plug are original, and have been checked by a certified electrician to ensure a safe use...Category
