Set of Three Amber-colored Carlo Nason Wall Lamps for Mazzega, Italy 1970s
-
Description
Another refined piece from the creative mind of Carlo Nason. Designed in the 1970s and executed by Mazzega in Murano, these wall lamps combine craftsmanship with a clear design vision. Nason’s approach is consistent yet always surprising, rooted in material exploration and form clarity.
Design
Each lamp consists of three thick, curved glass elements — two clear and one amber — arranged vertically. The central amber piece catches the light and creates a warm, diffused glow, while the flanking clear glass sections offer structure and balance. Their textured surfaces gently refract the light and soften its spread across the wall. Viewed from the side, the layers form a sculptural rhythm, almost architectural in feel. When lit, the lamps cast a soft aureole of amber light, adding depth and atmosphere. These pieces show Nason’s typical ability to make the most of Murano glass’s inherent qualities — not just as a decorative feature, but as an active part of the light design.
Well-proportioned and functional, these wall lamps display both a technical and aesthetic coherence. A considered piece of 1970s Italian lighting that goes beyond the decorative.
Condition
These lamps remain in good vintage condition with minor signs of age. Each metal backplate is equipped with two E14 light fixtures. -
