Arc lamps allow for additional overhead lighting without the use of an electrician and without occupying space on your desk.

An arc lamp is crafted with a long, sturdy arm or arms that arc over into the center of the space allowing a user to have the light directly overhead even when there may not be room on the desk to place a lamp.? An arc lamp allows the user to create overhead lighting without the use of an electrician or a need to make a permanent change to the walls or ceiling.

NOVA OF CALIFORNIA PRESENTS ITS ARC LAMPS

NOVA of California has been offering modern living room decor lamps and backlit led mirrors and decor pieces with a California edge for nearly 100 years.

THE BIRTH OF THE ARC LAMP, SALONE DEL MOBILE:

In the late 1950s, Mel Moskowitz and his design director, Peter Morelli, began working on a method of making their ceiling pendant lamps into a portable fixture. In 1962, they attended the first Salone del Mobile furniture fair in Milan. At the fair, they met Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, two brothers who were introducing their new arco lamp, essentially a portable structure on which to hang a pendant. The two innovators from Los Angeles, purchased an early production model, disassembled it and dragged the heavy, awkward design back to Los Angeles in a suitcase. Peter re-assembled the arco and began to design a range of arc lamps for an American audience expanding upon the designs he had developed in Los Angeles. He increased the scale, added wood elements and multiple arms, shrunk the shades, and added swivels. Over the next 10 years, NOVA became known as the King of Arc lamps

THE KING OF ARC LAMPS:?

In the 1970s, Morelli continued expanding the assortment of arc lamps for NOVA, importing arms and shades from Italy, and eventually, producing most of its components, including bases, in its Los Angeles factory. Although NOVA experienced ups and downs throughout the 1970s, the West Coast company soon became a major supplier of arc lamps to almost every national chain. NOVA was known as the “King of Arc Lamps.” Morelli also expanded the woodworking operation and began experimenting with bendable plywood (Italian popular) that allowed him to create arches in wood. NOVA began collaborating with a number of local fabricators that were cropping up to support the growing lighting manufacturers and began tooling for blow-molded Lucite shades in Germany.

NOVA IN THE 21ST CENTURY:

The rise of LED technology created a sea change in an industry that has not seen a significant change in technology since Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in the late 19th C. This lighting revolution has opened up a new world to open-minded designers that embrace new technology. NOVA's design team is working with a new optimism in exploring LED illumination, smart technology and interactivity.
