Lampada Gelato

Carlo Nason was born into one of Murano's most distinguished glassmaking families and spent formative years at the Mazzega furnace, where he developed a practice grounded in traditional Venetian technique. His work spans decades and ranges from historic Mid-Century lighting to contemporary sculptural objects, always rooted in the physical intelligence of free-blown glass.

Yes, the Gelato Lamp is hand-blown from Murano glass, which means each piece is subject to natural variation in form, surface, and tone. These differences are intrinsic to the process, not imperfections, and are part of what distinguishes the object from industrially produced lighting.

The layered Murano glass body diffuses light softly and evenly, producing a warm ambient glow rather than direct illumination. It works well as a secondary light source in a room, creating atmosphere without glare.

Established & Sons is a British design company founded in 2005 with a focus on commissioning work from significant contemporary designers and artists. The brand occupies a space between collectible design and functional production, often collaborating with figures who have a strong point of view and a defined cultural context.

The lamp is well-suited to hospitality and contract environments where considered, artisanal objects are part of the design intent. Its scale and diffused output make it appropriate for guest rooms, lounge areas, or any setting where atmosphere and craft carry equal weight.
