A. & P. Castiglioni Arco Lamp

This timeless classic is possibly one of the best-known lights ever. Immortalised on the silver screen in blockbusters such as Diamonds Are Forever and The Italian Job, the design is still as popular today as it was 50 years ago. From its marble base to the polished aluminium shade, every detail of our Castiglioni Arco style lamp has been carefully reproduced by hand. The 2½-meter reach of the arch cleverly provides overhead lighting without requiring ceiling suspension. It is fully adjustable and has a swivelling shade for precise lighting control.

The story behind the Castiglioni Arco lamp

The Castiglioni Arco lamp was designed in 1962 by two brothers, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. Created for Italian lighting specialists, Flos, the Castiglioni Arco Lamp was modelled on a streetlight and made to project light eight feet from its marble base. The Castiglioni Arco Lamp is one of a group of products that the Castiglioni brothers developed by adapting everyday objects.
