Born into a family of Venetian glassmakers, Nason began designing at a young age, with his early works, including vases, entering the Corning Museum’s collection in 1959. His collaboration with Mazzega allowed him to push creative boundaries, resulting in iconic designs like the Medusa lamp, which seamlessly blends traditional glassblowing techniques with modernist aesthetics. "Soffiature" refers to the process of creating multiple layers of glass, each meticulously hand-blown to achieve the desired thickness and texture. In the Medusa lamp, these four layers produce a captivating interplay of light and form, making it a highly collectible design object.
