COL CN 01
Designed in1969 by Carlo Nason for A.V. Mazzega, the LT 316 floor lamp, known as Sfumato, takes the form of a luminous column composed of seven superimposed glass elements. The alternating rhythm of flared and narrowed volumes gives it the appearance of a vertical, almost totemic architecture. The gradual transition from transparency to opalescent white conceals the luminous source and diffuses a soft light through the full thickness of the glass.
Each module is mouth-blown in lattimo Murano glass and assembled around an internal structure of painted metal and brass, supported by a metal base. Their manufacture requires great regularity to ensure the precise alignment of the different elements. Nason thus translates Venetian glassmaking expertise into a modern, modular form in which glass functions simultaneously as structure, diffuser and sculptural envelope.
Its value lies in its large scale, the complexity of the seven blown-glass elements and the fragility of their assembly.

Carlo Nason
Carlo Nason is one of the leading figures in Italian Murano glass lighting design of the second half of the twentieth century. Heir to a long family tradition linked to Venetian glassmaking, he developed a distinctive approach in which mastery of the ancestral techniques of blown glass is combined with a constant exploration of form, light, and material. Working notably with A.V. Mazzega, he designed in the 1960s and 1970s lighting fixtures that have become iconic, distinguished by the purity of their volumes, the richness of their transparency effects, and the virtuosity of their handcrafted production. The LT 316 and LT 354 models exemplify this exceptional period: composed of hand-worked Murano glass elements, they reflect a sophisticated exploration of light diffusion and sculptural composition. Produced in limited quantities, these rare and precious pieces embody the unique dialogue between industrial design and glassmaking craftsmanship, and are now among the most sought-after creations by collectors of twentieth-century Italian design.
