A 92-inch arc floor lamp with a cashmere gray linen drum shade, satin nickel steel body, and black marble base, designed by Peter Morelli for overhead lighting without ceiling installation.
The Float Arc Lamp, designed by Peter Morelli in 1960, is a modern masterpiece that sweeps gracefully over seating areas, providing ambient light without the need for an electrician. Its satin nickel steel body and black marble base offer stability and sophistication, while the cashmere gray linen shade diffuses light softly through an opal diffuser. Crafted in Venice Beach, California, this lamp embodies NOVA's century-long expertise in original lighting.
