Description

This is an Arco Floor Lamp, originally designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos in 1962. This particular example was produced in Italy in the 1970s. The lamp features a polished stainless steel stem that arcs outward from a heavy, rectangular Carrara marble base. The adjustable aluminum dome shade is perforated at the top for light diffusion and can be positioned to cast direct illumination where needed, making it ideal for use over seating or dining areas.

The lamp measures 95 inches high, with a reach of up to 86 inches, and the marble base measures roughly 21.5 inches high and 9 inches deep. The marble shows light wear and subtle patina consistent with age. The metal components show very minor scuffing. Overall, the piece is in very good vintage condition. Please see photos.

Note: Our photographer did not screw-in the top shade during photography to the step, which is why it appears to hang. We have since confirmed that everything operates and screws-in fine, so functionally, everything is working and correct.

What should I expect when ordering an item with lead time?

Estimated lead times are shown under "Delivery", above. Read our shipping policy to learn more.

Lead times are estimated based on previous production times from our manufacturing partners, but lead times can change depending on availability and circumstances outside of Rarify's control.

For example: if purchasing an imported or made-to-order product, international shipping and import times depend on many factors. This includes US customs operations, global trade circumstances, and production facilities in other countries.

We will try to fulfill your order as quickly as possible. Our international freight forwarding partners help to take burden off of you during the process of importing; we appreciate your patience while your order is fulfilled.

Purchasing made-to-order is one of the most responsible ways to purchase, as it helps prevent furniture waste on our planet.

Vintage items are typically in-stock in the USA and ready to ship once purchased.

Do you deliver to NYC?

Yes, in-stock items can often be delivered to NYC quickly by our skilled couriers. Pieces are delivered by hand to your residence. This typically takes 1-2 weeks for items stocked at our warehouse in PA.

What is Freight shipping?

Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
