The Arco Lamp
Description
The Arco floor lamp, designed in 1962 by the Castiglioni brothers, has lived through times without becoming old-fashioned. Its typical arch, white Carrara marble base and sparkling aluminum globe made it a must-have object in contemporary design. Inspired by the essentials formal component of the Arco that lies in the arch, round, sphere, and circle, this film shows how and apparently simple object became an archetype.
