AV Mazzega (Mazzega 1946)
AV Mazzega was founded in Murano in 1946 by Angelo Vittorio Mazzega, the namesake of Azienda Vetraria Muranese. Initially devoted to traditional Murano glass, the company shifted in the 1960s toward contemporary lighting design under the leadership of his children Lidia and Gianni Bruno Mazzega.
Gianni Bruno in particular recognized the talent of Carlo Nason, who went on to define the company’s creative direction. With Nason’s groundbreaking experiments in layered glass and vetro in piastra, AV Mazzega gained international recognition in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1970, the first catalogue was printed. Their lamps became synonymous with Italian design innovation, bridging tradition and modernity.
In 2000, Andrea Mazzega, grandson of the founder, became president. Today the company operates under the name Mazzega 1946, working with leading international designers while continuing to reissue Nason’s classics.
