Arco

By Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, 1962
A legendary design has been featured in Hollywood classics including Diamonds are Forever and The Italian Job, Arco is a design icon that has been in constant production since its debut in 1962. The modern arc floor lamp considered a design classic. The famed Castiglioni brothers spared no detail when they created it, from the beveled corners of its genuine Carrera marble base (designed not to hurt should you brush against them) to the strategic hole that allows for easy lifting of the base.FEATURESThe base supports a spun aluminum reflector via a curved stainless steel adjustable stem, allowing the lamp to offer both direct and indirect light. The height extends to almost 7-feet, allowing for easy placement of a couch or table underneath.Stainless steel finish. Available in LED or incandescent INSPIRATION BEHIND THE DESIGNThe Castiglioni brothers drew their inspiration for the Arco lamp from something they saw every day: a streetlight. Using commercially available parts, they set out to design a piece that was technically innovative and visually appealinga lamp that was functional but wouldnt need to be stepped around. They finished it with a marble base, knowing that the same weight would take up less space, allowing the Arco to live innot take overthe room it illuminated.
