A beautiful pair of circular table lamps designed by Carlo Nason for Linea GB Milano, showcasing the designer’s celebrated mastery of Murano glass. Each lamp features a layered, hand-blown glass form composed of three distinct sections: a clear smoked-glass dome on top, a central opaline glass band that diffuses light with a soft, even glow, and a lower section in warm smoked glass that grounds the silhouette.
The rounded, biomorphic profile is characteristic of Nason’s work from the 1970s, combining modern minimalism with the sensual curves and impeccable craftsmanship of Venetian glassmaking. When illuminated, the lamps emit a warm, atmospheric radiance and reveal subtle tonal transitions within the glass.
Striking both lit and unlit, these lamps function as sculptural objects as well as functional lighting.
