This Carlo Nason Murano mushroom table lamp, designed for Mazzega and produced in Murano (Venice) in the 1980s, combines chrome and mottled glass to create an object that is both functional and sculptural: when lit, the diffuser offers a warm and enveloping glow; when off, it remains a signature glassware piece that adds character to the space.

About Carlo Nason
Carlo Nason grew up among furnaces and master glassmakers in the family glassworks V. Nason & C. and from a young age explored modern and refined forms, inspired by the purity of lines and colors of Japanese objects. His collaboration with Gianni Mazzega led, in the 70s and 80s, to luminaires highly valued by collectors today: pieces with layers of glass and artisanal techniques that provide luminous depth and, in many cases, are not easy to reproduce today.
