Arco Floor Lamp

Arco Floor Lamp

A street lamp was the springboard for the Arco Floor Lamp: that is, a ceiling lamp that does not require holes in the ceiling. The Arco Floor Lamp provides lighting by projecting its light source eight feet away from the base, leaving enough room underneath to serve dinner and sit at the table. Its adjustable stainless-steel shade and arm allow for both direct and indirect lighting. The hole in the marble base of the Arco Floor Lamp, designed to allow transport with a broom handle, has become one of the lamp's signature design elements. Featured in the Museum's collection, this lamp boasts a bold arc that still makes a sweeping statement more than 50 years after its creation.

Design is one of the highest expressions of twentieth-century creativity, and Achille Castiglioni is one of its greatest masters. His objects stand as clear examples of rigorous method, technical skill, exuberant talent, and wit, combined to achieve a beauty that is fulfilling on both a rational and an emotional level. His work exemplifies the ideal of good design. In 1997, The Museum of Modern Art presented the first museum retrospective of his work in the United States, a celebration not only of the designer, but of the entire discipline in which he excels. The Arco Floor Lamp requires one 100W A-21 Medium Silvered Bulb Incandescent (Included). Designed by Achille Castiglioni and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for FLOS.
