Pair of LP257 wall lamps in Murano glass by C.Nason for Mazzega, 1970s
The unique LP257 wall lamp set, designed by Carlo Nason for the renowned Mazzega glassworks, known for its masterful Murano craftsmanship and bold collaborations with avant-garde designers. Each wall lamp is a sculptural composition of two overlapping layers of hand-formed Murano glass – one larger, arranged horizontally, and one smaller, vertical. These elements can also be interchanged to create different arrangements, emphasizing the flexibility and artistic nature of the design. The gently curved panels capture and refract light, creating a subtle play of shadows on the wall. The unique structure of the glass – both geometric and organic – reflects Nason's characteristic combination of precision of form and softness of line. This version uses colorless glass with a milky, slightly bluish stripe, which takes on a sensual depth and luminosity when illuminated. A centrally located light source allows the composition to glow from within, creating an extremely atmospheric effect. The panels are mounted on metal frames, which remain a minimalist backdrop for the expressive form of the glass. It is a perfect example of Italian design from the 1970s – sensual, innovative, and timelessly beautiful.
