The Flos Arco floor lamp, designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1962, is a definitive icon of mid-century Italian design. This piece masterfully combines the functionality of an overhead pendant with the flexibility of a floor lamp, creating a striking architectural presence in any space.
The lamp features a substantial base crafted from solid Carrara marble, providing essential counterweight to the sweeping telescopic stem. The stem itself is made of satin-finished stainless steel, allowing for adjustable reach, while the polished aluminium dome reflector directs light precisely where needed. The dimensions are substantial, with a height of 240 centimetres and a maximum reach of 220 centimetres, making it a commanding focal point. The natural veining of the white marble contrasts elegantly with the sleek silver tones of the metalwork.
This piece is in perfect condition, appearing as new with no visible signs of wear. The marble base retains its crisp edges and smooth finish, while the metal components show no blemishes, preserving the original design intent flawlessly.
The Arco lamp is ideally suited to expansive living areas or dining rooms, where it can provide overhead illumination without the need for ceiling wiring. Its timeless aesthetic complements both modernist interiors and contemporary spaces, serving as a functional sculpture that anchors a room.
