Original 1961 Morelli Arc Floor Lamp
Best statement lighting for sophisticated interior design enthusiasts.
The Morelli Arc Lamp is a historical reissue masterminded by Peter Morelli himself. An innovator of his time, Peter was one of the first designers to utilize bent wood to create the unique arm of the lamp. When this light was originally introduced the design was attributed to Harvey Guzzini, a nom de plume used to disguise the identity of Nova’s chief designer and ensure he was not recruited away from Nova. The elegant Morelli Arc Lamp boasts walnut wood finish and weathered brass accents, harmonizing with a lucite molded shade. The inclusion of a dimmer switch on the cord grants you the freedom to choose the perfect amount of light for any occasion. Unveil a piece of design history with the Morelli Arc Lamp, where classic ingenuity meets modern functionality, enhancing your living environment in style. This mid-century classic has been selling as a vintage piece for upwards of $5,000 on a number of elevated vintage sites.
