One of Italy's most prolific designers of glass lamps, Carlo Nason, who grew up within the traditional culture of Murano, has been able to direct his research and vast production toward design, skillfully combining a mastery of traditional techniques and workmanship with an aptitude for innovative experimentation. His creations are exhibited at Moma, The Museum of Modern Art and The Corning Museum of Glass in New York, and at Mava, Museo de Arte en Vidrio de Alcorcón, in Madrid.

This volume, born from the initiative of Fragile by Alessandro Padoan and Alessandro Palmaghini, and inaugurating a series dedicated to Italian design, investigates the rich production of designer Carlo Nason, known mainly as a designer of glass lamps, and offers the first organised account of his activity.
