Iconic Arco lamp designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos in 1962.
Carrara marble base, curved steel frame, excellent condition.
Made in 1962 by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. An ingenious lamp, one of the most imitated icons in the history of design, the genesis of Arco has stimulated the most varied interpretations. An experiment in which Flos immediately believed without hesitation, thus creating an all-time ‘classic’.
This visionary project, a synthesis of ingenuity, simplicity and perfection, was born from the need to make a pendant lamp that would project light onto the table without requiring holes in the ceiling.
The very heavy marble base is nothing more than a counterweight to support the large metal arch, inspired by a street lamp. And the hole, drilled in the barycenter of the base, was not intended as a decoration but as a device to lift the base easily by inserting a broomstick into it, for example.
