A 92-inch arc floor lamp with a weathered brass steel frame, dark walnut wood base, and mustard steel half-dome shade, designed by Peter Morelli for mid-century modern living rooms and bedrooms.
The Tambo Arc Lamp, designed by Peter Morelli in 1984, is a mid-century modern icon. Its sweeping cantilever form provides functional overhead lighting without ceiling installation. The weathered brass steel body and dark walnut wood base are complemented by a vibrant mustard steel shade, creating a striking statement piece. With a foot slide dimmer and smart home compatibility, this lamp blends timeless design with modern convenience.
