Description

The Arco floor lamp has become a great classic of contemporary lighting and design. Created in 1962 by brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for publisher Flos, this direct-light floor lamp is anchored in a block of Carrara white marble and has a telescopic stem in satin-finish stainless steel. This allows the height of the light to be adjusted from 137 to 171 cm from the floor. The diffuser is made of polished cast aluminium which is coated with a transparent protective lacquer. Perforated at the top, it scatters studs of light across the ceiling. The Arco lamp reflects the analytical approach of the brothers Castiglioni. The marble block that makes up the base of the Arco footstool has bevelled edges to prevent injury. A hole was cut in the marble block to allow the lamp to be transported. More than 50 years after its creation, the Arco floor lamp remains a timeless piece in the world of decoration. Still published today by Flos, Arco is an elegant luminaire that attracts and diffuses soft light in your living spaces. Like a symbol, the Arco floor lamp also illuminates MoMA's permanent collection.

CASTIGLIONI A. & P.

Italian designers and brothers Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni both studied architecture at Milan Polytechnic. The first graduated in 1937, and Achille, the last of the family, also graduated in 1944. He then joined his two older brothers in their design studio in Milan and, together, they developed design projects for Italian companies looking to revive their country's post-war economy. Their work stands out for its particular conception of products through a logical analysis of the functions that the object must fulfil and the means to achieve this. The design, which is very pure, comes next to enable the object to perform its functions. Between 1950 and 1960, the Castiglioni brothers designed a number of products for major brands such as Flos, which produced the Arco floor lamp, a design classic, and Zanotta, for which they created the famous Mezzadro stool with a tractor saddle. The death of Pier Giacomo in 1968 put an end to the collaborations. After the death of his brother, Achille continued to design but devoted most of his time to teaching design, first in Turin and then in Milan.
