Awesome lamp of white and orange Murano crystal, designed by Carlo Nason during the 60s for the Mazzega House, founded in the 40s as an artisanal glass factory, evolving until it becomes a reference in design and avant -garde. The base and top both in mottled glass, joined by a bright orange glass shaft composed of eight rings. The parts are joined by polished steel screwed parts.


Follow the aesthetic canons of the Space Age style, a style that has returned strongly and is part of the current interior design and decoration. The style known as "Space Age" or "It was space" was between the late 50s and the beginning of the 70s. It is based on the idea of an optimistic world after the success of atomic energy and space trips.


This style has as its aesthetic inspiration the North American space race and everything that has to do with exterior space such as space satellites, helmets, ships, the effect of ungravation and an optimistic proposal of a new futuristic lifestyle. The sphere is adopted as the main morphological reference, as we see in the design of this piece, referring to satellites or space helmets. Aerospace engineers influenced design and architecture through the adaptability of the materials they created for flight. This aesthetic had influence in all design fields: architecture, industrial products, interior, clothing, graphics, textiles, etc \. and also in great designers.
