In 1955 NasonMoretti won the second edition of the Compasso d’Oro Award. The products in competition were an idea of Umberto Nason, who, with a tremendous intuition, decided to apply the technique of the inverted overlaid glass (coloured on the inside and milky-white on the outside) to basic, almost nordic-inspired shapes, in a period in which the Murano production was characterised by baroque shapes.
