Modular Two-Panel Pendant Lamp in Murano Glass and Brass, Carlo Nason for Kalmar, 1970s.
This high-end pendant light is a striking example of Mid-Century Modern design, designed by Carlo Nason for the Austrian firm Kalmar in the 70s.
The fixture is defined by its simple, conical shape, formed by two substantial panels of hand-blown Murano glass. Nason, who broke from his family’s traditional ornate glass styles in the 1960s to pursue a geometric and functionalist aesthetic, used a heavy, textured glass that intensely diffuses the light source.
The piece is an example of Nason’s progressive design philosophy, translating ancient, artisanal techniques into the clean, geometric aesthetic of the Space Age. It represents a fusion of Nason’s glass artistry and Kalmar’s legacy of high-quality architectural lighting.
