A 92-inch arc floor lamp with a satin nickel steel frame and black linen drum shade, designed for living rooms and home offices needing ambient overhead light without ceiling installation.
The Float Arc Lamp, designed by Peter Morelli in 1960, features a sweeping arched silhouette that adds mid-century modern elegance to any space. The satin nickel steel body and base provide a stable foundation, while the black linen shade diffuses light softly for a warm, inviting glow. Built with contract-grade materials, this lamp reflects NOVA's century-long heritage of quality craftsmanship.
Best for
- Living rooms with seating areas that need ambient overhead light, placed behind a sofa or beside a reading chair
- Home offices where a soft, glare-free light is needed for reading or computer work
- Bedrooms with high ceilings, positioned near a bed or seating area for a cozy reading nook
- Open-concept spaces where a portable overhead light is needed without hardwiring
- Modern or mid-century modern interiors that benefit from a sculptural floor lamp
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 10x10 ft where the 68-inch arc may feel oversized
- Spaces with very low ceilings (under 8 ft) where the 92-inch height may be too tall
- Bathrooms or outdoor areas - this lamp is rated for dry locations only
How bright is it?
1500 lumens - about as bright as a 100W incandescent bulb, ideal for ambient or task lighting in medium to large rooms. It provides ample light for reading or general illumination, but may not be sufficient as the sole light source in a very large open-plan space.
Light color and feel
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 vibrant and accurate, making it suitable for art or reading areas. The built-in dimmer allows you to adjust from a bright task light to a soft ambient glow.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions: 68 in long x 18 in wide x 92 in high. The shade is 22 in diameter x 9 in high. The base is 17 in diameter. The lamp weighs 61 lbs, so it is stable but heavy to move. Best suited for rooms with at least 8 ft ceilings and enough floor space for the arc to extend without blocking walkways.
