This Mid-Century arc lamp from the 1960s features the typical construction of chrome floor lamps from that era: a curved metal shaft made of chrome-plated steel that extends far over a seating area or a table. The shade is designed as a flat, white plastic hemisphere and is directed downwards. Standing on a round, gray lacquered steel base, the frame provides a stable stand. Along a uniform curve, the arc of the shaft leads upwards and ends with the shade at a working height, providing direct light downwards. The total height of 165 cm and a shade diameter of 40 cm define a clearly delimited cone of light. The chrome arc lamp takes up hardly any floor space when standing, as the weight is on the base and the arc spans the room. This 1960s floor lamp of German production is well suited as a reading light over an armchair or as an additional light source in the living room. It formally integrates into an interior with Mid-Century furniture; in modern settings, the vintage arc lamp sets a contrasting accent. No manufacturer's proof available. Traces of use are present.
