Mazzega in the 1970ties, consists of three layered sections of hand-blown opaline glass from the Venetian island of Murano.

While the larger counterpart features four layers, this highly rare 3-tier edition is exceptionally difficult to source, offering a slightly more compact and balanced silhouette while maintaining its iconic sculptural shape. The individual glass elements are crafted to fit together in one specific order, making every single piece unique. When lit, the combination of the different glass layers creates a beautiful, warm, and soft light.

Carlo Nason – hailing from a long line of Murano glassmakers – consciously broke away from traditional glassmaking techniques early in his career to explore modernist and geometric forms, resulting in this legendary collaboration with Mazzega.

The lamp is in very good vintage condition. The opaline glass is completely intact, with no chips or cracks. The metal hardware, ceiling rose, and suspension system show an authentic patina. The wiring and thin steel suspension cable are fully functional, and the height can be adjusted to your preference. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
