About the Item

Italian Space Age lighting from the 1970s reaches sculptural heights with this dramatic orb pendant attributed to Carlo Nason. Three large curved panels of slumped glass form a bold helmet shape, each panel featuring wild gray and white marbling that swirls through semi-transparent material. The organic patterns create depth and movement as light filters through the distinctive glass treatment. Chrome hardware anchors the design with a structural frame at the crown and an elongated chain leading to the ceiling mount. The slumped glass technique produces flowing curves that overlap and intersect, creating dynamic shadows and reflections. The marbled effect varies across each panel, making every viewing angle reveal new patterns within the sphere. Condition shows wear consistent with age and use. Chain and ceiling mount hardware included.
