's ARCO is one of the most iconic floor lamps ever designed. Since 1962, this has been a flawless design, each element intentional.

"In keeping with the Castiglioni design philosophy, the Arco lamp is a masterclass in functional elegance. Every part of the lamp serves a purpose, from its marble base, which anchors the structure, to the stainless-steel arch for customisable light placement. The diffusor is perforated to dissipate heat and even the hole in the marble base is deliberately designed so two people can easily lift the lamp with a broom handle."
