The inscrutable and intricately wrought chandeliers and shades of the Nastro collection, especially, do these multiple assignations every justice.

Constructed of orange peel-thin curlicues of Murano glass, these pieces evoke the terror and wonder of the Andromeda myth, as well as the enigmatic vastness of the Nebula, not to mention the organic forms of the shrubbery. The Nastro collection consists of hanging lamps, flush-mount ceiling lamps, and wall brackets in a variety of shapes and sizes, each characterized by Nastro’s signature assemblage of serpentine shards of brightly-colored Murano glass. And as if the aforementioned descriptors aren’t enough to handle, here’s another one for you: the lights look like multi-hued agglomerations of curly fries. As odious as that comparison might seem, it actually fits the bill, for the Nastro pieces have a kind-of vegetable sensibility.

As with any product fortunate enough to be made of Murano glass, the Nastro pieces are possessed of a delicate beauty.
