The italian designer carlo nason was born in 1935 in murano, in a family of expert glassmakers. His father, vincenzo nason, ran the famous glass company nasonmoretti and opened a second glass company under the name vincenzo nason & c in 1941.

The first objects designed by nason date back to 1959 and are part of a collection of molded-blown vases produced by V nason & c. Today, they are preserved by the corning museum of glass in corning, new york. Driven by his passion for design, particularly for the cleanliness and geometry of shapes, he decided in the 1960s to distance himself from the family business, mainly specializing in very traditional and ornate decorative objects. Nason redirected his attention to glass lighting design in a modernist language. Nason intended to produce his first models himself in small series, but soon his spirit of experimentation and innovation caught the attention of murano glass manufacturer a. V.

Mazzega, nason has also made designs for other major murano glassworks, such as de majo, i-tre, murano due, vistosi, and firme di vetro. He continued to create designs in the 1980s and 1990s, and also worked as a consultant for casinos austria, then co.
