Modern Arched Floor Lamps That Really Stand Up

Floor lamps in general are not perceived as being particularly flexible or versatile so traditional interior designs usually lack this feature. In modern and contemporary design, however, things changed. That’s because a new breed of floor lamps was invented: the arc lamp. In terms of design, these lamps are really simple. They have arched shapes, hence the names derived from here and they’re really flexible which makes them particularly versatile and functional.

The sculptural floor lamps provide the same effect as overhead lighting but in a more stylish and flexible form. Their long arching necks provide you with the task lighting you need wherever you need it. The lamps can be placed over sofas, beds, desks and dining tables. Because they feature this oversized look, they best suit large spaces but they can also serve as statement pieces is small rooms.

The Arco Floor Lamp is an iconic piece and exactly the type of lamp we’re talking about. It has a shiny stainless steel finish that gives it a sleek and modern look and a marble brick base which provides stability for the extra long neck. It has an iconic design and an ingenious form and this earned it a spot in the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection. Its exquisite design inspired numerous other creation and even a whole range of DIY projects designed to mimic its beautiful look.
