An extraordinary and sculptural Italian Space Age floor lamp dating from the 1970s, attributed to the renowned Murano glass master Carlo Nason for A.V. Mazzega. Standing as an architectural totem of light, this imposing column is composed of three stacked, hand-blown white opaline glass elements featuring a rhythmic, organic ribbed silhouette. Each glass section is seamlessly joined by sleek, mirror-polished chrome-plated metal bands accented with refined exposed screw details—a signature hallmark of high-end Italian modernist lighting. Beyond its striking daytime presence as a piece of luminous sculpture, the lamp showcases an ingenious internal glass construction. Equipped with six E27 sockets distributed across the three tiers, the frosted outer opaline glass diffuses light with a soft, velvety warmth. In the upper section, an original internal red glass element filters the illumination from within, creating a dramatic, built-in gradient effect that crowns the column in a rich ruby-magenta glow before transitioning into warm ivory below. T He piece has undergone a comprehensive, high-end restoration, including complete professional rewiring to modern safety standards, ensuring effortless integration into contemporary living spaces. A rare collector’s statement piece that captures the bold optimism of the 1970s Space Age era while bringing timeless Italian gallery elegance to any curated interior.
