Arc Lounge Floor Lamp

So ,what if you have a problem finding a lamp that will not take-up too much space on your work or reading table, or you find a low ceiling light or a standard lamp stand doesn’t do it for you either? Well, if you have a mind to you might create one that suits your needs and gives a focused light where you need it.That is precisely what Achille did.He was one half of the brothers Castiglioni duo who together pushed the boundaries of industrial design in the 1940s,50s and 60s to produce some of the best Italian mid-century lighting designs.In 1962 ,Achille devised the Arco Floor Light.For him ,this solved the problem he associated with the ‘frustrating’ table lamp.

Now an original Arco will cost you a pretty penny however a reproduction of which there are good examples and other lights inspired by the original design will not seem so extravagant.The Mini Arc Lounge Floor Lamp from Heal’s is inspired by the Arco design and will provide for lounge or dining use an elegant and functional direct light which can be positioned where required for maximum benefit without cluttering table areas.It is a robust and manoeuvrable lamp with an arc shaped light holder supporting a domed shade.There is a choice of copper, chrome,black or matt grey.The curved arm can be rotated 360 degrees to allow fine positioning of the light.

This practical lamp will suit a flexible modernist interior theme very wel

I like the price which is not out of the way and very competitive.If you do happen to have a pretty penny you can also find at Heal’s an Achille design, the Arco Floor Lamp,produced by Flos,the Italian lighting company the Castiglioni brothers worked with from the early 1940s.
