Explore the relationship between freestanding light and architecture through Flos Arco.
Lighting can be independent of the ceiling
Arco’s curved arm carries the light away from its base. It suggests that dining and reading light can be reorganised through a freestanding object, rather than relying entirely on existing ceiling points.
Plan for both the light and the person
Check the base footprint, arm reach, cable route and switch position. The light should reach its intended area while preserving clear and practical circulation.
Build layers of light
Combine ambient, task and accent lighting for different activities. Interior photography can suggest an atmosphere, while the actual specification depends on room size, reflective surfaces and use.
