Midcentury table/floor lamp by Carlo Nason, 1960s Italy

The Midcentury table/floor lamp by Carlo Nason, crafted in the 1960s in Italy, embodies the refined elegance of Murano glass artistry combined with sleek modernist design. Known for his sculptural lighting, Nason worked closely with the renowned Murano glassmakers to create pieces that merged traditional Venetian craftsmanship with contemporary forms. This lamp features a handblown Murano glass shade, often with subtle opalescence or layered translucence, set atop a polished chrome base that grounds the design with a clean, industrial edge. The contrast between the organic softness of the glass and the reflective precision of chrome captures the era’s fascination with material interplay. Both functional and atmospheric, the lamp works equally well as a floor or oversized table light, radiating a warm, diffused glow that highlights Nason’s timeless contribution to Italian midcentury lighting design.
