Product description
Hand-blown Murano glass candlestick in orange and violet, with spiral work and a speckled base, made by Carlo Moretti in 1999. Diameter 11 cm, height 31 cm.
Carlo Nason, born in Murano in 1935 to one of the island's oldest glassmaking families, was a great master glassmaker. He grew up associating with the master glassmakers who worked in the family furnace, mastering the most refined techniques of glass art, demonstrating an innovative and visionary approach that he employed in the field of design, while remaining tied to tradition. In 1925, the Nason Moretti company was founded by the Nason brothers, specializing in the production of home decor and tableware, where the mastery of the most refined Murano techniques is integrated with a modern vision and careful color research. In 1955, Umberto Nason created an innovative project of two-tone bowls and glasses which earned him the Compasso d'Oro award. In the 1960s, with the second generation of the family, there was significant growth for the company, which still maintained its characteristic commitment to experimentation. In the 1980s, the company turned its attention to lighting, offering postmodern reinterpretations of designer lamps, with the Carlo Moretti Studio line and the series of collectible stemware and glasses. Since the 1990s, the activity has focused on new collections conceived in a modern and design-oriented way. Carlo Moretti of Venice, founded by Carlo in 1958 in Murano, was acquired by new ownership in 2013, but is still an important company today for its constant relationship with design. The company is known for the beauty and elegance of Murano glass, gracing not only the tables of the most important families, but also contemporary tables. Crafted with ancient and secret techniques, Nason Moretti glass ranges from warm to cold shades thanks to the wide palette of colors that are nuanced and from which glasses, vases, and lamps are created. Over the course of its history, the company had numerous collaborations with prestigious fashion brands such as Giorgio Armani, Valentino, and Tiffany & Co.
