Nason’s auspicious upbringing led him to becoming a prominent figure in the golden age of Italian design, melding historical Murano techniques with design movements of the post-war avant-garde. Nason’s body of work shows influences from Space Age design beautifully combined with hints of Art Deco.

His collections encompass lamps, vases, and sculptures mouthblown in Murano, where he continues to live in retirement. His works are in the collections of the internationally renowned Corning Museum of Glass, and The Museum of Modern Art in New York.
