Designed by the Castiglioni brothers in 1962, the Arco floor lamp is a modern décor icon that has stood the test of time.

Contemporary and Timeless

If you are buying an Arco lamp, you can rest assured that you have done well to earn it. But the real challenge lies in placing it right. Though the fascinating floor lamp works with almost any theme and color backdrop that you have going, it is important to not overwhelm the surroundings with way too much. Arco can be used as a bedside lamp, a desk lamp, overhead light for your coffee table and as focused light for your reading nook.

An artistic masterpiece

Arco looks equally appealing whether it is placed in the middle of the room hovering above your couch or if it is placed in the corner next to the bed. Its presence is simply unmistakable. With contemporary homes sporting clean and well defined lines, its elliptic arch presents a lovely geometric variation. Unlike the bland floor lamps that seem to vanish into the backdrop, Arco stands tall (quite literally too!) and yet never seems to block your view.

Perfect for every setting

From making itself comfortable in a compact pre-fab home to stealing the spotlight in a large and spacious villa with high ceilings, the Arco is an ideal fit for pretty much every setting. While it lends both elegance and ergonomics, it is paramount that the lamp be placed in an uncluttered space. The curved demeanor, the large ‘arc’ and exclusive design demand interiors that are clad smartly and in a neat fashion. This automatically makes the Arco a wonderful and seamlessly fit with the modern minimalist trend.
