A wall-mounted arc lamp with a satin nickel steel frame and a pool blue steel shade, designed by Peter Morelli in 1960 for modern living rooms, bedrooms, and reading nooks.
The Half Dome Wall Mounted Arc Lamp is a mid-century modern classic, featuring a satin nickel steel body and base with a striking pool blue steel shade. Its cantilevered design provides overhead lighting without taking up floor space, making it an ideal choice for contemporary interiors. Designed and crafted in Venice Beach, California, this lamp offers a warm, inviting glow through its steel drum shade with an opal diffuser.
