About the Item
his exceptional and rare floor lamp, attributed to Italian designer Carlo Nason, exemplifies the bold experimentation and refined modernism that defined Italian lighting design of the 1960s. Executed in brass and handblown glass, the fixture presents a dramatic fountain-like composition of cascading glass strands suspended from a sculptural brass armature.
The central stem supports five cylindrical brass rings, each meticulously fitted with an array of clear and opaline tubular glass elements. These strands are arranged at deliberately varied lengths, creating a dynamic, layered silhouette and a sense of movement that shifts with both natural and artificial light. The interplay between transparency and opacity enhances the chandelier’s sculptural depth and visual rhythm.
Each of the five sections contains two light sockets, providing both upward and downward illumination. When lit, the light diffuses through the glass tubes, producing a luminous, atmospheric glow while emphasizing the chandelier’s architectural geometry and refined material contrast.
Carlo Nason is celebrated for his innovative approach to glass and lighting design, often associated with the Italian Space Age movement. His work is characterized by clean lines, modular structures, and a sculptural sensibility that bridges modernist rigor with decorative impact. During the post-war period, Nason, alongside contemporaries such as Gaetano Sciolari, played a pivotal role in redefining lighting as both functional object and artistic statement.
This floor lamp stands as a powerful example of Nason’s mature design language, combining technical sophistication with timeless elegance. Highly sought after by collectors of mid-century Italian design, it is well suited for grand interiors, architectural spaces, or curated modern collections.
There is a second floor lamp with three cylinders available and a chandelier with six cylinders of the same design. See Item Reference
