Flos floor lamps reach where ceiling fixtures never do. Arco proved the point in 1962 by arcing eight feet from a Carrara marble base to hang over a dining table with no ceiling wiring at all. This collection runs from that original icon to the modular Noctambule glass system.

Choose by height and direction. Most designs stand 58 to 72 inches, which keeps the source above seated eye level and below standing eye level. Superloon tilts an illuminated disc for reading. Luminator and Stylos throw light upward for ambient fill. Rosy Angelis softens a room through draped fabric. Bellhop runs on a rechargeable battery and moves wherever you need light.

Achille Castiglioni, Philippe Starck, Jasper Morrison, and Konstantin Grcic all contributed designs here. Montreal Lighting & Hardware stocks the range with specification support from our team. Free shipping on orders over $199 across Canada.

Buying guide

How to Choose a Flos Floor Lamp

Height, placement, and light direction settle most floor lamp decisions.

Get the height right

Aim for 58 to 72 inches overall. The bottom of the shade should sit near eye level for someone seated, roughly 40 to 49 inches from the floor, so the bulb stays out of view.

Plan for arc reach

Arco reaches about 8 feet horizontally, and Super Archimoon runs similar. Position the base well outside the walking path and confirm the shade lands where you want light.

Match direction to purpose

Uplights like Luminator and Stylos bounce light off the ceiling for ambient fill. Adjustable arms like Superloon and Coordinates handle reading and task work.

Check the base footprint

Arco carries a marble base near 145 pounds. Confirm floor protection and moving logistics before delivery, especially over hardwood.

Placement	Recommended height	Clearance needed
Beside a sofa or armchair	58-65"	12-18" from the arm
Reading corner	60-72"	Arm reach over the seat
Over a dining table (arc)	94-98" arc	8 feet from base to shade
Behind seating (uplight)	66-78"	6" from the wall
Bedroom corner	58-65"	Clear of door swing

Common questions

Flos Floor Lamps FAQ

How tall should a floor lamp be?

Between 58 and 72 inches for most rooms. The shade bottom should land near eye level for a seated person, roughly 40 to 49 inches off the floor.

Does the Arco floor lamp need a ceiling connection?

No. Arco reaches about 8 feet from a marble base, so the lamp lights a dining table with no ceiling wiring at all. That was the original point of the design.

How heavy is the Arco base?

The Carrara marble base weighs roughly 145 pounds. The base includes a hole sized for a broomstick so two people lift and carry the lamp together.

Which Flos floor lamp works for reading?

Superloon tilts a thin LED disc on an adjustable arm. Coordinates and Ray also direct light downward for task work. Uplights like Luminator suit ambient fill instead.

Are any Flos floor lamps cordless?

Bellhop runs on a rechargeable battery and moves between rooms or outdoors. Most other designs in this range use mains power.

Do any of these floor lamps work outdoors?

Captain Flint and Super Archimoon both offer outdoor versions with appropriate ratings. Check the product page carefully, since indoor and outdoor variants share a name.
