Achille Castiglioni said of Arco in a 1965 interview published by
moderndesigninterior: "I consider it my greatest lamp design ever, the
personification of my style: because it combines a utilitarian object
with purity of form."
We at Stardust agree; Castiglioni's Arco is all about "functional
elegance". Superbly executed with the finest materials and
craftsmanship, this
is not only a lamp but a veritable work of art for the living room as
referenced in this New York Times
article. Arco features our favorite material; Italian Carrara marble.
Carrara is a town in the Italian Alps. The marble (Michelangelo's
favorite) from this area has been used in Italy since Roman times. Every
time we see a Flos Arco Floor Lamp in person, its quality and design
features leave us astounded - a big word, but the only right word - to
describe these brilliant Italian design lamps.
