1970s Italian Brillo Lamp | By Carlo Nason

A remarkable example of 1970s Italian lighting design, this vintage table lamp by Carlo Nason for Mazzega was handcrafted in Murano from chrome and hand-blown glass. Celebrated for its sculptural simplicity and exceptional craftsmanship, the lamp features striking tiger-like striping created through alternating bands of opalescent and warm beige glass. The fluid patterning highlights the extraordinary skill of the Murano glassblower, giving each piece a unique sense of depth, movement and character.

Resting on a polished chrome base, the lamp emits a soft, ambient glow that enhances the layered glass and its rich organic tones. Balancing sculptural form with functional design, it brings warmth, elegance and a distinctly retro aesthetic to both mid-century and contemporary interiors.

Widely regarded as one of the pioneers of modern Murano glass design, Carlo Nason helped redefine the island's centuries-old glassmaking tradition through his minimalist forms, architectural silhouettes and innovative approach to lighting. Raised within his family's renowned glassmaking business, V. Nason & Co., he learned his craft alongside master artisans from an early age, developing a deep understanding of Murano techniques while embracing the influence of modern industrial design and Japanese minimalism.

Nason's enduring collaboration with Gianni Mazzega produced some of the most iconic lighting designs of the 1970s and 1980s. His pioneering use of layered glass, organic forms and experimental production methods has made his work highly sought after by collectors around the world. Many of these designs are considered virtually impossible to replicate today, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship, materials and techniques that defined an extraordinary era of Murano glassmaking.

Both a functional light source and a sculptural collector's piece, this lamp is a timeless expression of Italian modernism, bringing artistry, warmth and enduring sophistication to any interior.
