Design
Composed of opaline glass in a folded, square profile, the LT323 merges a flower vase and light fixture into a seamless whole. The translucent bluish casing reveals an internal opaline glass globe, softly diffusing light while visually floating at the centre. When illuminated, the layered geometry becomes animated—its inner glow filtered through the semi-transparent body, casting ambient reflections and producing a gradient of milky blues and warm ivory. A stainless steel base anchors the piece discreetly, providing stability without disturbing its optical purity.
What distinguishes this design is Nason’s ability to balance artistic experimentation with refined utility. The asymmetrical double-chambered construction offers one side as a vase, transforming the lamp into a living composition when flowers are added. This duality reflects the progressive ethos of 1970s Italian design—where formal boundaries between object and sculpture, decor and purpose, were frequently re-imagined.
An elegant fusion of design disciplines, this LT323 model is an example of Carlo Nason’s enduring dialogue with glass and light.
Condition
The lamp is in very good vintage condition, with minor signs of age to the metal base. The Murano glass is clean and intact, and the lighting is in full working order.
