Mid-Century Modern LT215 Table Lamp by Carlo Nason for Mazzega, 1970 Italy

A masterpiece of 1970s Italian lighting design, this LT215 table lamp by Carlo Nason for Mazzega is a stunning example of Murano glass craftsmanship and space-age aesthetics. Designed in the same era as its larger counterpart, the LT216, this model retains the sculptural elegance but in a more compact form.
 
The lamp features hand-blown Murano glass, with an opaline white globe resting within a softly curved flared base. The bottom section is made of brown bubble glass, a characteristic Murano technique where air bubbles are intentionally trapped within the glass during the blowing process. This textural effect adds depth, enhancing the lamp’s organic and tactile appeal. When illuminated, the bubbles subtly catch the light, creating a mesmerizing glow.
 
Carlo Nason’s vision for Mazzega seamlessly combined futuristic influences with traditional Venetian glassmaking, resulting in timeless designs that remain highly collectible. The LT215 is a rare find, appreciated for its delicate proportions and refined aesthetic.
 
This lamp encapsulates the bold experimentation of 1970s Italian design, making it a perfect addition to any vintage or contemporary interior.
