A 92-inch arc floor lamp with a weathered brass steel frame and natural burlap linen drum shade, designed by Peter Morelli for overhead ambient light in living rooms and bedrooms.
The Float Arc Lamp is a modern masterpiece designed by Peter Morelli in 1960. This iconic arc lamp features a gracefully arched silhouette that provides overhead lighting without the need for ceiling installation. Crafted from weathered brass steel, it embodies a sleek and contemporary aesthetic, making it a perfect centerpiece for living rooms, bedrooms, or home offices. The natural burlap drum shade, with its opal diffuser, ensures a soft ambient light, ideal for reading or relaxed conversations. Backed by NOVA's century-long commitment to quality, this lamp is a testament to enduring design and craftsmanship.
Best for
- Living rooms with seating areas needing overhead ambient light without ceiling installation
- Bedrooms where a reading light is needed beside a chair or bed
- Home offices providing soft, glare-free illumination over a desk or seating area
- Open floor plans where a sculptural statement piece defines the space
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 10x10 ft where the 68-inch arc may overwhelm the space
- Spaces with very low ceilings under 8 ft, as the 92-inch height may be too tall
- Areas requiring direct task lighting for detailed work, as the shade diffuses light softly
How bright is it?
1500 lumens - about as bright as a 100W incandescent bulb, providing ample ambient light for a medium to large room. Ideal for general illumination and reading, but not as a primary light for detailed tasks.

2700K warm white - a soft, golden tone similar to traditional incandescent lighting. Flatters skin tones and warm interiors. With a CRI of 95+, colors appear vivid and accurate, making it suitable for art or decor. Fully dimmable via the built-in stem switch on the column for adjustable ambiance.
