A 13-inch wall-mounted arc lamp with a satin nickel steel frame and mustard steel half-dome shade, designed by Peter Morelli for mid-century modern living rooms and bedrooms.
The Half Dome Wall Mounted Arc Lamp, designed by Peter Morelli in 1960, offers a space-saving solution for overhead lighting without ceiling installation. The satin nickel steel frame and slim wall plate support a striking mustard steel shade with an opal diffuser for soft, diffuse light. A foot slide dimmer provides personalized control, making it ideal as a reading light or accent piece.
