FLOS ARCO FLOOR LAMP

The Flos Arco arc lamp is a classic and a true icon of interior design. It was designed in 1962 by the brothers Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni and was primarily intended to solve a practical problem: it was not always possible to install a pendant lamp in the apartment exactly above the dining table, so parts of the table had to remain in the dark. So the brothers looked for an alternative and found inspiration in a completely different place: street lamps with the lamp head protruding into the street on a long, curved arm. Arco was created according to this principle.
Every element of the 2.40 meter high cult and art object Arco is simple and functional - the dome-shaped, chrome-plated shade directs the light specifically downwards. The slim, curved shaft made of satin stainless steel is extendable and allows the bow to be made smaller or wider. The reflector made of polished and zapon-lacquered cast aluminum is adjustable and height-adjustable.
The base made of white Carrara marble serves as a counterweight to give the lamp a secure stand in any position. The marble block is a functional and decorative distinguishing feature of Arco - with its flattened edges it reduces the risk of injury, and the pothole is used to transport the lamp: If a broom handle or similar rod is inserted through it, two people can safely lift the 66 kg marble block.
The timelessness of the lamp with its perfect curve, the elegant materials and the cozy lighting effect make it one of the most popular design classics that fits into practically any interior style. Arco appears elegant and discreet, but still characterizes the respective location. This is not least due to its impressive size. The expansive lamp arm can illuminate tables or sofa seating areas. But it can also provide excellent light over large living spaces to create space for cozy reading hours. The Arco floor lamp has been in the renowned New York Museum of Modern Art since 1972.
