MODEL 4636/2 ICE GLASS WALL LAMP BY CARLO NASON FOR FRANKEN KG, GERMANY, 1970S. THIS IMPRESSIVE LARGE-SCALE WALL LAMP IS A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF CARLO NASON’S MASTERY IN WORKING WITH GLASS. PRODUCED BY FRANKEN KG, IT COMBINES SCULPTURAL FORM WITH EXCEPTIONAL MATERIAL QUALITY, RESULTING IN A DESIGN THAT IS BOTH ELEGANT AND ARCHITECTURALLY STRIKING.

THE LAMP FEATURES A SUBSTANTIAL CURVED SHADE OF THICK FROSTED “ICE” GLASS, CHARACTERISED BY ITS TEXTURED SURFACE AND BEAUTIFUL LIGHT-DIFFUSING PROPERTIES. THE GLASS TERMINATES IN DISTINCTIVE TRIANGULAR-SHAPED ENDS, ADDING A STRONG GEOMETRIC ELEMENT TO THE OTHERWISE FLUID FORM. WHEN ILLUMINATED, THE HEAVILY TEXTURED GLASS SOFTENS THE LIGHT BEAUTIFULLY, CREATING A WARM AND ATMOSPHERIC GLOW WHILE EMPHASISING THE DEPTH AND COMPLEXITY OF THE MATERIAL.

IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, THIS LARGE WALL LAMP MAKES A STRIKING STATEMENT BOTH LIT AND UNLIT. ITS COMBINATION OF SCULPTURAL ICE GLASS, GENEROUS SCALE, AND REFINED AUSTRIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP MAKES IT A HIGHLY DESIRABLE PIECE FOR COLLECTORS OF MURANO-INFLUENCED GLASS LIGHTING AND MID-CENTURY DESIGN. A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF CARLO NASON’S DISTINCTIVE APPROACH TO LIGHT, FORM, AND MATERIALITY.
