240 - Carlo Nason (born in 1935)

Carlo Nason (born in 1935) LS173 Ceiling light Pulegoso glass Circa 1970 D47 H24 cm Pulegoso glass, developed in Murano in the 1920s by Napoleone Martinuzzi, is characterized by a multitude of tiny bubbles trapped within the glass, giving it an opaque, matte, and slightly rough appearance. Carlo Nason draws on this historic technique for a ceiling light with modern lines, where the bubbles diffuse the light and soften the illumination. This dialogue between glassmaking tradition and contemporary design lies at the heart of Nason’s work. A piece representative of Murano lighting from the 1970s.
