Ø cm 14 h cm 28

Carlo Nason, born in Murano in 1935 into one of the oldest glassmaking families on the island , was a great master glassmaker. He grew up associating with the master glassmakers who worked in the family furnace, appropriating the most refined techniques of glass art, demonstrating an innovative and planning attitude that he employed in the field of design, but remaining tied to tradition.  

In 1925 the Nason Moretti company was founded by the Nason brothers, specializing in the production of furnishing accessories and tableware, where the mastery of the most refined Murano techniques is integrated with a modern vision and careful chromatic 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 60s with the second generation of the family there was a great development of the company which still maintained its characteristic vocation for experimentation. In the 1980s, lighting was looked at with postmodern reinterpretations of designed lights, 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, passed to 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, arriving not only on the tables of the most important families, but also on the modern tables of today. Worked with ancient and secret techniques, Nason Moretti glass ranges from warm to cold shades thanks to the wide palette of colors that are shaded 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.
