Table Lamp – Hand-Blown Incamiciato Murano Glass – Italy, Design 1983
An iconic example of Italian lighting design, the Paralume table lamp by Leucos, Murano is a timeless masterpiece first introduced in 1983 by the Leucos Design Lab. Still in production today, the model has become one of the most celebrated modern Murano lamps ever created — admired for its sculptural purity, atmospheric light, and unmistakable Italian elegance.
Crafted entirely from hand-blown incamiciato Murano glass, the lamp showcases one of Venice’s most refined glassmaking techniques, where multiple layers of glass are fused together to achieve a rich satin-white opaline finish with beautifully diffused illumination. Both the base and the shade are independently illuminated, allowing for multiple lighting moods — from a soft intimate glow to a full warm ambient presence.
Elegant, atmospheric, and highly collectible, the Paralume remains a benchmark of modern Murano craftsmanship and sophisticated interior design.
