Arched luminaires – soft zone light, sweeping design

Arc lamps are already an impressive appearance: responsible for this is the narrow arc-shaped frame or arm, on which the luminaire head projects far into the room. Thus, the luminaire brings direct, glare-free zone light to the desired location.

As a floor lamp, the arc lamp takes over the function of a hanging lamp, with the difference that here you are not dependent on a ceiling outlet. A socket in the vicinity is sufficient. In addition to floor lamps, we also offer arc-shaped wall and ceiling lamps, which are a good solution when the power outlet is inconveniently positioned. Arched lamps are used in various rooms and are especially in demand as dining or coffee table lighting.

The lights are available in many different colors and are made of high-quality materials. Thus, they fit stylishly into different interiors and function there as a decorative lighting object.

Different types of lights

The classic among the arc lamps is the floor lamp. It is considered particularly flexible, because you only need a power outlet for operation. If, on the other hand, you have a power outlet available, wall or pendant lamps are also suitable as arc lamps.

Arc lamps for different rooms

Our arc lamps provide zone light in various rooms, such as the living room, where they also act as an impressive furnishing object.

Arc lamps for different applications

Arc lamps are predestined for dining table lighting, if your ceiling outlet is not located centrally above the table – or is not even present. In the first case, off-center pendant lights are a good solution, and in the second, arc-shaped floor lamps. For coffee table lighting, arc lamps are also a possibility. And they also work well as reading lights by the sofa or bed.

Popular colors

Since arc lamps are not only good light sources, but also stylish design objects, the appearance also plays a major role in the selection. For example, the colors of the lamp should please and match the respective interior. With us you will discover, among other things, arc lamps in timeless black or white and find lights in noble silver or brass.

Frequently asked questions to our lighting experts

Our store manager will be happy to answer frequently asked questions about arc lights.

Anja Schuh

Where do I place or hang an arc light?

Arc lamps are versatile and especially popular for lighting the dining or coffee table, or even the reading corner. Floor lamps should be placed so that the cable does not become a tripping hazard. Also, make sure that the lamp does not block the walkway or obstruct the view of the TV. It is also important that you can operate the arc lamp comfortably. This can be achieved, for example, by having an easily accessible switch or dimmer on the shade or arm of the lamp.

One final tip: Plan enough space, especially for large arc lamps. The lamp should not "disappear" between several pieces of furniture, but should stand out well as a design object.

What height is recommended for arc lights?

The right height is crucial for pleasant lighting. If the lampshade hangs too low, it can impair the view of the person opposite or the TV. If it hangs too high, the light can be blinding. We recommend that you set up or hang arc luminaires for dining table lighting so that the lampshade is about 60 to 70 cm above the table surface.

Tip: You can flexibly adjust height-adjustable arc lights.

Who invented the arc lamp?

The characteristic design of the arc lamp goes back to Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni. The brothers wanted to create a pendant lamp for table lighting, without the need for a ceiling outlet. While looking at street lamps, they finally came up with the idea for their design. Thus, in 1962, Arco was born – an arc lamp made of metal and with a marble base, characterized by its enormously large span. Arco is considered the cornerstone for all subsequent arc lamps and has long since become a design icon.

What are the arc lamp classics?

Flos Arco

Lumina Elle

Besides Arco – the mother of all arc lamps – there are other design classics among arc lamps. These include the Elle arc lamp, which Tommaso Cimini designed in the 80s. The floor lamp is characterized by its particularly minimalist and filigree design, as well as its flexible adjustability. Also iconic arc lamps with high recognition value are lights such as the Twiggy Terra, Lady Costanza or Tolomeo Terra.
