Arco Lamp, Art in Your Living Room


What do you think about your living room? Does it have what you need to feel comfortable? Have you thought that it may need some new stuff? Remodeling your living room could be a very pleasant activity but it may be expensive, if you want to refresh the look of your living room you might need just one object, a great object, the Flos Arco lamp.It's true that we don't need a large amount of new items to make our house look renovated and totally new, design experts affirm this minimal style equation: less is more, and more is less, and this is about having the perfect thing at the exact place to have a balanced and harmonious living room.


Just to let you know more about the designers and their multiple awards: Achille Castiglioni was born in Milan (1918-2002), he started work as an architect and designer with his brothers Livio and Pier Giacomo in 1938. One of the great masters of Italian design, he was a founding member of ADI in the fifties. The long list of awards he has received include eight Compassi d'Oro. Pier Giacomo Castiglioni The Italian designer and architect Pier Giacomo Castiglioni is the second of the three Castiglioni brothers, The Castiglioni brothers exerted a strong influence on the younger generation of Italian designers. Pier Giacomo Castiglioni taught design at Milan Polytechnic from 1946 until his death. This is a floor lamp providing direct light, just as a ceiling top light,the Arco Floor lamp is the great idea that the Italian designers thought up, and something interesting about the history of this lamp is that designer sure wasn't about a cable going from the output to the positionof the lamp that is fixed to illuminate the table. This was the reason for designing the Flos Arco Lamp. The Flos Arco Lamp base is made with highest quality marble carrera the preferred material of Italians,(including the famous artist and sculptor Michael Angelo who used carrara marble for many of his scultures) you can find the base in white or black marble, the design of the lamp has remained the same and the current production is the same as the ones produced in 1962 with the exception of the electrical system which was upgraded for a better performance. So, as you can see, this is one of the best choices you have to fill your living room with a timeless and gorgeous design made with the best materials around, position this lamp near that sofa or over your table and you will make your living or dining room room just rock!The frame is then wrapped with cotton twill tape to enable the maker to sew the fabric onto the metal. Wrapping with the correct tension is an art that either results in a quality product or a shoddy piece.
