A 92-inch arc lamp with a weathered brass steel frame and oval white Lucite shade, designed by Peter Morelli for modern living rooms and reading nooks.
Designed by Peter Morelli in 1960, the Simple Morelli Arc Lamp is a modern statement piece featuring a weathered brass finish and a sturdy steel base. The sweeping, gracefully arched silhouette provides overhead lighting without ceiling installation, making it perfect for living rooms, home offices, and reading nooks. The oval Lucite shade with a weathered brass stripe adds a distinctive mid-century touch.
Best for
- Living rooms with seating areas needing overhead ambient light without ceiling fixtures
- Reading nooks or home offices where adjustable task lighting is desired
- Spaces with high ceilings where the 92-inch height can be fully appreciated
- Modern or mid-century modern interiors that benefit from a sculptural floor lamp
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 10x10 ft where the arc may overwhelm the space
- Spaces with very low ceilings (under 8 ft) where the lamp's height may be disproportionate
- Areas requiring direct task lighting for detailed work, as the shade diffuses light broadly
How bright is it?
1500 lumens - about as bright as a 100W incandescent bulb, suitable for ambient lighting in medium to large rooms. Not intended as a primary task light for detailed work.
Light color and feel
2700K warm white - a soft, golden tone similar to traditional incandescent lighting. Flatters skin tones and warm wood/brass interiors. With a CRI of 95+, colors appear vivid and accurate, ideal for art or living spaces.
Sizing and fit
The lamp measures 68 inches long (arc reach), 18 inches wide, and 92 inches tall. The oval shade is 15 inches in diameter and 8 inches tall. The base is 17 inches in diameter. Best suited for rooms with at least 8-foot ceilings and enough floor space to accommodate the arc's sweep.
