A 92-inch arc floor lamp with a black nickel steel shade and white marble base, designed by Peter Morelli for modern living rooms and reading nooks.
The Half Dome Arc Lamp, designed in 1960 by Peter Morelli, embodies NOVA of California's century-long lighting craftsmanship. Its sweeping arched silhouette in black nickel steel is balanced by a white marble base, creating a sculptural statement that provides overhead illumination without ceiling installation. The built-in column dimmer switch lets you adjust light intensity to suit any mood.
Best for
- Living rooms with seating areas where you want overhead light without a ceiling fixture
- Reading nooks or beside a lounge chair for focused task lighting
- Home offices needing ambient light that can be dimmed for screen work
- Open-plan spaces where a dramatic sculptural element is desired
- Contract-grade commercial settings like hotel lobbies or boutique offices
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 10x10 ft where the 92-inch height and 68-inch arc may overwhelm the space
- Carpeted floors where the heavy marble base (61 lbs) may leave indentations
- Spaces requiring direct downlight over a dining table or desk (the half-dome shade directs light forward and upward)
How bright is it?
1500 lumens from the included 14W LED bulb — about as bright as a 100W incandescent bulb, suitable for ambient lighting in medium to large rooms. For task reading, position the shade directly over the seating area.
Light color and feel
2700K warm white — a soft, golden tone similar to traditional incandescent lighting, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. With a CRI of 95+, colors appear vivid and accurate, ideal for art or decor. Fully dimmable via the column stem switch; compatible with standard dimmers.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions: 68"L x 18"W x 92"H. Shade: 12.5"D x 8.75"H. Base: 17"D x 2"H. The arc extends 68 inches horizontally, so ensure at least 6 ft of clearance from the wall. Best for rooms with ceilings 8 ft or higher.
