Their fluid contours and amber-toned translucency echo the expressive language of Italian lighting design of the post-war decades.

Design
Each applique features a hand-formed glass shade in a palette of amber and clear, embedded with organic bubbles and subtle surface irregularities. The glass curves slightly forward and is held in place by a brushed metal frame that contrasts with the warmth of the glass. When lit, the internal textures catch and scatter light, producing a soft, molten glow. The style recalls the sculptural sensibility of Carlo Nason's work for Mazzega, where technical glass blowing met a modernist visual language. Though unmarked, the workmanship and materials suggest production in the Venetian tradition. The brushed steel wall plates have been carefully restored, offering a refreshed look without overpowering the original glass elements. The set’s versatility allows for uniform installation or creative arrangements.

A sculptural lighting ensemble of six, these appliques combine mid-century Italian elegance with a revived structural clarity.

Condition
Condition is very good. The metal elements have been restored, while the glass retains its original character with light traces of age, preserving its authentic presence.
