A composition of glass and light, the LT313 floor lamp by Carlo Nason for Mazzega showcases the fusion of form and function. The interplay between glass and light creates an ambient glow, emphasizing the craftsmanship behind this Murano glass piece. Designed in the 1970s, this lamp reflects Nason’s ability to balance bold forms with subtle translucency, resulting in a functional yet sculptural lighting object.

Design

The lamp consists of stacked Murano glass blocks, each fused with blue fascia detailing. The layering of these elements forms a column that diffuses light in a soft yet structured manner. Light travels through the semi-transparent glass, creating a warm effect that contrasts with the deep blue accents. The interplay between the glossy surface and organic contours adds depth to the design. Each block is slightly irregular, giving the piece an artisanal character. When illuminated, the internal structure becomes visible, enhancing the visual complexity. The lamp stands on a metal base, discreetly elevating the glass tower and ensuring stability. With its geometric yet fluid composition, it embodies the aesthetics of 1970s Italian lighting.

A well-proportioned design that seamlessly blends craftsmanship and modernity. Its sculptural presence allows it to function both as a light source and a design statement.

Condition

This lamp remains in good condition with minor signs of wear consistent with its age. The glass elements are intact, and the lighting components function properly. The original wiring has been retained.
