His work is characterized by a deep understanding of glass as a material, honed through years of tradition and innovation.

Design
This floor lamp by Carlo Nason for Mazzega exemplifies elegance and sophistication in Italian design. Featuring a series of four cylindrical opaline glass blocks, the lamp forms a cohesive, glowing column of light. The cylindrical design of the opaline glass allows for an even diffusion of light, creating a soft, ambient glow that warms the surrounding space. Glass blocks are separated by polished chrome rings, which provide structural integrity while adding a modern, industrial contrast to the soft, milky glow of the glass. A polished aluminum base offers a sturdy and reflective foundation, complementing the overall sleek design. A unique and practical feature is the circular ring at the top, designed for easy lifting and mobility, making it simple to reposition the lamp in different spaces.This cylindrical floor lamp transcends its function as a mere light source; it stands as a piece of art reflecting Carlo Nason’s dedication to quality and design. Combining opaline glass and chrome elements, the lamp enhances any interior space with its blend of form, function, and beauty. Portability, highlighted by the top ring, adds to its practicality without compromising aesthetic appeal, making it a timeless addition to any design-conscious home.
