Carlo Nason for Mazzega Pair of Wall Lights 1960
-
Description
The Italian designer Carlo Nason was born in 1935 in Murano, into a family of expert glassmakers. From an early age, the young Nason was trained in the art of glassblowing, learning both the properties of the material and the craft techniques used in glass moulding and decoration.
Driven by his passion for design, particularly for cleanliness and geometry of form, he decided in the 1960s to distance himself from the family business. Nason shifted his focus to the design of glass lighting in a modernist language.
Nason intended to produce his first models himself in small series, but soon his spirit of experimentation and innovation attracted the attention of Murano glass manufacturer A. V. Mazzega, and the company invited him to collaborate on new collections. The partnership lasted from 1965 until the 1980s and resulted in a range of iconic lighting designs still in demand today.
Here we have a beautiful pair of wall lights, with metal structure and Murano glass diffusers, designed by Carlo Nason for Mazzega in the 1960 circa.
In very good condition, fully original and ready to be shipped.
We recommend a wooden crate for shipping, to prevent glass damage.
We can rewire the light system to US standards upon request. -
