Flos Arco Lamp – Iconic Mid-Century Floor Lamp by Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni A true masterpiece of 20th-century design, the Flos Arco floor lamp—conceived in 1962 by legendary Italian designers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni—remains one of the most celebrated and instantly recognizable lighting fixtures in design history. This is a timeless piece that seamlessly blends sculptural form with ingenious functionality. The Arco’s striking silhouette features a polished stainless-steel arch that extends an impressive 2 meters (over 6.5 feet) from its weighted Carrara marble base, enabling it to gracefully illuminate spaces without the need for ceiling installation or wall mounting. The adjustable aluminum reflector can be rotated and tilted to direct light precisely where needed—perfect for ambient lighting, reading, or creating dramatic focal points in any interior. Originally designed to mimic the reach of a ceiling pendant while offering the flexibility of a floor lamp, the Arco quickly became a symbol of Italian modernism and has featured in iconic films (notably Diamonds Are Forever) and prestigious interiors worldwide.
