Flos Arco

The Flos Arco floor lamp was designed in 1962 by award-winning Italian design duo Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. Quickly becoming an iconic design that characterises the sixties, the Arco floor lamp started life as an experiment that was supported by Flos through its idea and development stage. This resulted in an enduring classic that has been described as a 'synthesis of genius, simplicity, and perfection'.

The Arco came from the need for an overhead lamp that wouldn't require holes to be drilled into the ceiling. The Flos Arco perfectly fulfilled this need and has become the most imitated design of the 21st century. The white Carrara large marble base at the bottom of the lamp is not only a stunningly beautiful raw material that brings a sturdy touch to a delicate lamp. The marble also acts as a counterweight to stop the arching lamp stem from toppling over. The marble base is supporting a satin-finished stainless steel telescopic stem that holds the iconic pressed, polished, and zapon-varnished aluminum shade. This rounded shade encapsulates the sixties style whilst also bringing a modern touch to any interior. Available in the classic halogen version and the newest integrated LED version, this lamp has brought the sixties back into fashion.
