“Lotus” Opalescent Murano Glass Table Lamp By Carlo Nason For V.nason & C.

1st Dibs

$4,879

A sculptural “Lotus” table lamp designed by Carlo Nason for V.Nason & C., Murano, Italy. An iconic composition of layered opalescent glass, this model embodies Nason’s refined exploration of volume, transparency, and light diffusion.This example comes from a warehouse stock of the latest production and is preserved in excellent condition, virtually as new. It retains its original label “V. Nason & C. Murano Italy” and presents with no signs of use.The lamp is constructed through a sequence of concentric, stacked glass elements that progressively expand outward in soft, rounded tiers. The geometry recalls the unfolding of a lotus flower — hence the model name — with each translucent ring gently hovering above the next.When illuminated, the opaline glass transforms the internal light source into a warm, diffused glow. The central bulb becomes a soft nucleus of light, radiating outward through the milky white glass layers. The effect is atmospheric and immersive: from above, the lamp reveals a hypnotic concentric pattern; from the side, it appears as a luminous architectural form with a quiet, sculptural presence.The base is finished with a dark circular plinth that visually anchors the floating glass volume, enhancing the contrast between solidity and ethereal transparency.Carlo Nason, active on Murano from the 1960s onward, is known for his innovative approach to glass design and for translating modernist principles into fluid, luminous forms. The “Lotus” model stands as a refined example of late 20th-century Murano production — where technical precision meets poetic light modulation.A highly decorative yet architecturally balanced piece, ideal for both contemporary and mid-century interiors.
