Awesome lamp of white and orange Murano crystal, designed by Carlo Nason during the 60s for the Mazzega House, founded in the 40s as an artisanal glass factory, evolving until it becomes a reference in design and avant -garde. The base and top both in mottled glass, joined by a bright orange glass shaft composed of eight rings. The parts are joined by polished steel screwed parts.
Follow the aesthetic canons of the Space Age style, a style that has returned strongly and is part of the current interior design and decoration. The style known as "Space Age" or "It was space" was between the late 50s and the beginning of the 70s. It is based on the idea of an optimistic world after the success of atomic energy and space trips.
This style has as its aesthetic inspiration the North American space race and everything that has to do with exterior space such as space satellites, helmets, ships, the effect of ungravation and an optimistic proposal of a new futuristic lifestyle. The sphere is adopted as the main morphological reference, as we see in the design of this piece, referring to satellites or space helmets. Aerospace engineers influenced design and architecture through the adaptability of the materials they created for flight. This aesthetic had influence in all design fields: architecture, industrial products, interior, clothing, graphics, textiles, etc ... and also in great designers.
About Carlo Nason (1935 -)
Carlo Nason, a designer of Italian origin, was born in 1935 in a family of glass experts in the cradle of glass art, in Murano, Venice. His father, Vincenzo Nason, directed the renowned Nasonmoretti glass company and later, in 1941, opened a second company from under the name of Vincenzo Nason & C. from an early age, the young Nason discovered the technique of blown glass, the properties of the properties of Material, the artisanal techniques used in the molding and ornamentation of the glass.
The first objects designed by Nason date from 1959 and are part of one of the collections created for his father's company, V Nason & C, and composed of different vases blown by mold (works that, today, are found in the Corning Glass Museum in Corning, New York).
Promoted by the passion for design, which had been instilled since his childhood, and his aroused interest in the most modern design, during the 1960s, Nason decided to distance himself from the family business. Mainly, the cause of its separation was the strong specialization of the company in very traditional decorative objects. Since then, Nason, which had a more innovative vision of design, a vision based on modernist language and clean geometric shapes, redirected its approach to glass lighting design.
Although his initial intention was to produce his first individual designs, organizing them in small lots, soon his spirit of experimentation and innovation caught the attention of the Murano crystal lighting manufacturer A. V. Mazzega. The company invited him to collaborate in his new collections from 1965 to the 1980 to the present. Parallel to the collaboration with A. V. Mazzega, it also produced designs for other important companies dedicated to Murano crystal, including Majo, I-Tre, Murano Due, Viewsi, or firm Di Vetro.
Carlo Nason continued to create designs in the 1980s and 1990s, while working as a photographer and as a consultant for Casinos Austria. His experiments even led him to combine different techniques that further increased the originality of his works. His famous works have been exposed for years in New York and has become a design reference in Italy. Currently, he continues to work on his personal designs from Murano, the place where everything began.
Carlo's work is in several museums. The Moma Modern Museum of New York (USA), the Trienalem Design Museum of Milan (Italy). The Corning Glass Museum, in New York, has a wide collection of its works.
