Originally created in 1961, by the famous Viennese Designer, the Morelli Arc Lamp is a historical reissue masterminded by Peter Morelli himself. 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 stately Morelli Arc Lamp boasts black stained wood and satin nickel 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 iconic design history with the Morelli Arc Lamp, where classic ingenuity meets modern functionality, enhancing your living environment in style.

  • Each wooden lamp is one of a kind, crafted from natural wood that carries its own unique grain patterns and tones. At NOVA, we take pride in our woodworking legacy. Few lighting companies work with real wood due to its natural variations and the skill required to kiln-dry, join, craft the forms, sand and finish. The organic variations are part of the beauty of woodworking, making every piece special. If you prefer a uniform, mass-produced look, real wood may not be the best fit for you, but we love the warmth it offers and the way natural materials make a space feel like home.
