A 5-light arc floor lamp with adjustable mushroom-shaped shades, a black nickel finish, and a black marble base, designed for living rooms and reading nooks.
This is the original Mushroom arc lamp, designed by Peter Morelli in 1962 and manufactured by NOVA of California. The five adjustable mushroom heads can be artfully fanned out to deliver light exactly where needed. The black nickel finish on the steel arms and shades is complemented by a natural black marble base that provides stability and a touch of organic elegance. A built-in dimmer switch allows full control over light intensity, and the lamp is smart switch compatible for voice or app control.
Best for
- Living rooms with a sectional or sofa, where the arc can reach over seating to provide ambient and task light
- Reading nooks or home offices needing adjustable, directed light
- Mid-century modern or contemporary interiors seeking a statement piece
- Spaces with high ceilings, as the lamp stands 85 inches tall
- Rooms where smart home integration is desired (compatible with Amazon Echo, Google Assistant, Apple Home)
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 10x10 ft, where the lamp's 52-inch width may feel oversized
- Spaces requiring a uniform, mass-produced look, as each marble base has unique veining
- Bathrooms or outdoor areas (dry location only)
How bright is it?
2600 lumens total across five bulbs - equivalent to about 5 x 40W incandescent bulbs. This is bright enough for ambient lighting in a medium to large living room, and the adjustable heads allow you to focus light for reading or tasks.
Light color and feel
2700K warm white - a soft, golden tone similar to traditional incandescent lighting. The 95+ CRI ensures colors appear vibrant and natural, making it suitable for spaces where you want a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Fully dimmable for mood lighting.
