Lotus Table Lamp

Design: Carlo Nason, 1969 for GUBI.

Reintroduced by GUBI after more than 50 years out of production, Carlo Nason’s iconic Lotus Table Lamp fuses the peak of Murano glassmaking with a timeless artistic vision. Designed in 1969, it captures Nason’s fascination with form, light, and experimentation, as well as his desire to push the limits of both convention and material possibility. Crafted from four nested layers of mouth-blown glass, the lamp takes its name from its layered flower-like form, which evokes the poetic beauty of the lotus flower. The shade’s individual elements are made using the mouth-blown ‘pulegoso’ glass technique, giving the lamp a varied, semi-opaque texture that enhances depth and light diffusion, ensuring each piece is unique. The multiple layers of glass conceal the bulb from view, creating a soft, ambient glow that brings a sense of calm and depth to a space.
