Flos Arco Floor Lamp by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Italy. Original Price :$3,495

Design Plus Gallery presents a Arco Floor Lamp by Flos. Designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglio in 1962. Inspired by a streetlight, the Arco cleverly provides overhead lighting without requiring ceiling suspension, its polished shade extending nearly seven feet to accommodate a dining table or sofa beneath the light source. Aware that the 78-pound lamp would be difficult to move, the designers smartly placed a hole in the base to accommodate a broom handle. They also gave the Arco an adjustable arc and swiveling shade for precise lighting control. Step switch on cord. Made in Italy.
