A 92-inch arc floor lamp with a black linen drum shade and black marble base, designed by Peter Morelli for modern living rooms and bedrooms.
The Float Arc Lamp is a modern icon designed by Peter Morelli in 1960. Its sweeping arched silhouette provides overhead lighting without ceiling installation. The black nickel steel body and black marble base offer stability, while the black linen shade with opal diffuser softens the light for a warm, inviting glow. A built-in dimmer on the column stem lets you adjust brightness to suit any mood.
Best for
- Living rooms with seating areas needing overhead ambient light without a ceiling fixture
- Bedrooms as a reading or accent light beside a chair or bed
- Home offices providing soft, adjustable task lighting over a desk
- Open-concept spaces where a sculptural statement piece defines the seating zone
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 10x10 ft where the 68-inch arc may feel oversized
- Carpeted floors with low-pile rugs where the heavy marble base may leave impressions
- Spaces requiring direct, focused task lighting without ambient diffusion
How bright is it?
1500 lumens from the included 14W LED bulb - comparable to a 100W incandescent, bright enough for ambient lighting in medium to large rooms. Use as a primary light source in a seating area or as a supplemental accent.
Light color and feel
2700K warm white - a soft, golden tone similar to traditional incandescent bulbs. Flatters skin tones and warm interiors. High CRI of 95+ renders colors accurately, ideal for reading or art. Fully dimmable via the column stem switch.
Sizing and fit
Overall: 68 in wide (arc reach) x 18 in deep x 92 in tall. Shade: 22 in diameter x 9 in tall. Base: 17 in diameter x 2 in tall. Works best in rooms with ceilings 8 ft or higher. The arc extends 68 in from the base, so allow clearance for the sweep.
