A 92-inch arc floor lamp with a black linen shade and weathered brass steel body, designed by Peter Morelli for living rooms and bedrooms.
The Float Arc Lamp, originally designed in 1960, features a sweeping, gracefully arched silhouette with a bowed metal arch. The weathered brass steel body and base offer a luxurious, vintage-inspired finish, while the black linen drum shade with an opal diffuser provides soft, ambient light. This contract-grade lamp is a versatile, portable lighting solution that adds a bold, modern touch to any space.

- Living rooms 15x20 ft or larger, positioned over a sofa or seating area for ambient light

- Open-plan spaces that need a portable overhead light without ceiling installation

Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 10x10 ft where the 92-inch height and 68-inch reach may overwhelm
