A wall-mounted arc lamp with a black nickel steel shade, designed by Peter Morelli in 1960 for modern living rooms and reading nooks.
The Half Dome Wall Mounted Arc Lamp is a modern masterpiece by Peter Morelli, exemplifying NOVA of California's century-long tradition of lighting excellence. This wall-mounted arc lamp features a sleek black nickel finish, crafted from durable steel, and a distinctive half-dome shade that creates a striking silhouette. Its space-saving design provides overhead lighting without requiring an electrician, making it perfect for modern interiors. The lamp's cold-rolled steel arching arm and slim-line wall plate ensure both stability and aesthetic appeal.
