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.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit

What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.

To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
