LT 354 Table Lamp in Murano by Carlo Nason for AV Mazzega, 1970s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Carlo Nason’s table lamp model LT 354, designed in the 1960s and produced by AV Mazzega, exemplifies mid-century modern design, blending clean lines with high-quality craftsmanship. Nason, renowned for his mastery of Murano glass, collaborated with AV Mazzega to create a piece that seamlessly combines artistry and functionality.

Design
Aesthetically, the LT 354 lamp stands out due to its elegant use of Murano glass. The base is a round, hand-blown piece, featuring a soft white swirl pattern diffused through the glass. This swirling effect gives the glass a sense of movement and depth, creating a unique visual texture that interacts beautifully with light. The glasswork extends to the shade, designed in a mushroom or half-dome shape that echoes the curves of the base. The shade, also crafted from Murano glass with the same white swirl pattern, diffuses light gently, creating a warm and soft glow that enhances any room. The combination of these glass elements gives the lamp an organic and fluid aesthetic while maintaining a clean, modern silhouette. The natural patterns in the glass ensure that each lamp is unique, with subtle variations in the swirl adding to its charm.Supporting these delicate glass elements is a metal patinated cylindrical stem, providing a sleek and sturdy contrast to the soft curves of the glass. Three minimalist metal arms extend from the stem to hold the shade securely in place, allowing the design to feel both airy and solid. The lamp features an E27 bulb fitting, offering versatility in lighting options.

Signed
A small AV Mazzega sticker affixed to the shade marks its authenticity.

The lamp remains in very good condition.

About the Creator

Carlo Nason

Italian designer Carlo Nason was born into a family of expert glassmakers in 1935 in Murano, Venice. His father, Vincenzo Nason, directed the renowned glass business NasonMoretti and opened a second glass business under the name Vincenzo Nason & C in 1941. From an early age, the younger Nason received training in the art of glassblowing, learning about both the properties of the material and the artisanal techniques used in glass molding and decoration.

The very first objects designed by Nason date to 1959 and include in a collection of mold-blown vases produced by V Nason & C. Today, they are held by the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York.

Driven by his passion for design—especially clean, geometric forms—Nason decided in the 1960s to distance himself from his family's business, which was specialized mainly in very traditional, ornate decorative objects. Nason redirected his focus toward designing glass lighting in a modernist idiom.

Nason's had intended to produce his early solo designs himself in small batches, but soon his spirit of experimentation and innovation caught the attention of Murano glass lighting manufacturer A. V. Mazzega, and the company invited Nason to collaborate on new collections. The partnership lasted from 1965 until the 1980s and resulted in an array of iconic lighting designs that remain in demand today. Parallel to the collaboration with A. V. Mazzega, Nason also produced designs for other important Murano glass companies, such as De Majo, i-tre, Murano Due,Vistosi, , and Firme di Vetro.

Nason continued to create designs in the 1980s and 1990s, but he also took on work as a consultant for Casinos Austria and worked as a photographer. Nason's works have been exhibited over the decades in a number of art and design museums and galleries in Paris, Milan, and New York. He lives and works in Murano.
