A 92-inch arc floor lamp with a black linen drum shade and black nickel steel frame, designed by Peter Morelli for modern living rooms and bedrooms.
The Float Arc Lamp, originally designed by Peter Morelli in 1960, features a sweeping arched silhouette with a black nickel steel body and base. The black linen drum shade, paired with an opal diffuser, provides soft ambient light while reducing glare. This iconic piece from NOVA of California offers overhead lighting without ceiling installation. Equipped with a built-in dimmer switch and an LED bulb, it is both portable and contract grade.
Best for
- Living rooms with sofas or sectionals, positioned to cast light over seating areas
- Bedrooms where a reading nook or seating area needs overhead-style lighting
- Home offices requiring ambient light without harsh glare
- Open floor plans where a statement piece defines the living zone
- Spaces with high ceilings, as the 92-inch height fills vertical space
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 10x10 ft where the arc may overwhelm the space
- Bathrooms or outdoor areas (dry location only)
- Spaces needing focused task lighting (this is ambient, not directional)
