Description
Arco Floor lamp designed by Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos in 1962
manufactured by Flos, Italy in the 1960ies. With makers bedge on inner side of the lamp shade.
Famous amongst modern Italian designers Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni have widely contributed to design furniture. Their casual attitude towards designing objects helped create a new style that clearly can be described as already postmodern.
Characteristic for their attitude towards designing objects is the correspondence between all parts of the object in combination with their fresh and revolutionary ideas that added new ways to the common use of things. With a clear concept they reflect on design practice and yet found invitingly fresh and humorous ideas in detail and combinations.
Visually appearent is every design decision regarding form and materiality. The well thought through components literally speak about their function, often in a new way. Design, Materials and engineering correspond just perfectly.
The Arco lamp in it‘s title is a great Arc lamp, consisting of a counterweight in form of the marble base and the Aluminium lamp shade, connected by an adjustable steel rod that helps to position it above a desk or dining table.
Very unusual is that the Arco lamp was thought up to replace a pendant lamp above the table. The two part shade allows to move the outer shade and to cast light were it is preferred. The graceful Arch made from bent steel profile spans up to 2 meters, the Carrara marble base works as a counterweight. A pierced hole near the top allows to use a wooden dowel to easily move it around.
The Arco lamp is in overall very good vintage condition with few signs of use. Few scratches can be found in the aluminum and steel parts.
Lamp will be disassembled for shipping.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
