A 92-inch arc floor lamp with a crimson red steel shade, satin nickel steel body, and black oak wood base, designed by Peter Morelli for mid-century modern living rooms and home offices.
The Tambo Arc Lamp, designed by Peter Morelli in 1984, is a mid-century modern icon. Its sweeping cantilever form delivers overhead illumination without ceiling installation, while the crimson red steel shade adds a bold pop of color. The satin nickel steel body and black oak wood base combine durability with natural elegance, making this lamp a focal point in any seating area.
Best for
- Living rooms with seating areas needing overhead light without ceiling fixtures
- Home offices requiring focused task lighting over a desk or reading chair
- Open-plan spaces where a sculptural statement piece anchors the room
- Bedrooms as a dramatic reading lamp beside a lounge chair
- Mid-century modern or eclectic interiors seeking a bold color accent
Not ideal for
- Small rooms under 10x10 ft where the 68-inch footprint may overwhelm
- Spaces with very low ceilings (under 8 ft) where the 92-inch height feels disproportionate
- Minimalist or ultra-modern decors that prefer neutral tones over crimson
How bright is it?
1500 lumens — about as bright as a 100W incandescent bulb, suitable for ambient or task lighting in medium to large rooms. It can serve as a primary light source in a living room or office.
Light color and feel
2700K warm white — a soft, golden tone similar to traditional incandescent light, flattering to skin tones and warm wood interiors. With a CRI of 95+, colors appear vivid and accurate, ideal for reading or art. Fully dimmable via the foot slide dimmer for adjustable ambiance.
Sizing and fit
The lamp measures 68 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 92 inches tall, with a shade diameter of 12.5 inches and a base diameter of 16 inches. It works best in rooms with at least 8-foot ceilings and enough floor space to accommodate the arc's reach.
