Nason&Moretti glassware. Glass tableware from art deco to the Compasso d'Oro

Founded in 1923 by Ugo Nason and still managed by the family, Cristalleria Nason & Moretti (now NasonMoretti) has produced numerous creations over the course of its long and varied activity, including the "Francesca service", designed around 1928 and chosen by the Genoese notary Angelo Fasce to complement L'Autarca, "Table containing everything necessary for serving meals", invented and patented by him in the mid-1930s and now preserved at the Wolfsoniana. The meeting between the Genoese museum and the Murano factory gave rise to the exhibition La Cristalleria Nason & Moretti and the related catalogue which, documenting the activity of the glassworks from the beginning to the mid-1950s (when the "Lidia service", donated by the architect Philip Johnson to the MoMa in New York, won the prestigious Compasso d'Oro award), propose a close dialogue between it and the varied collection of the Wolfsoniana.
