Nova Float Coronado 75"H Chairside Arc Lamp

Float Coronado 75"H Chairside Arc Lamp brings Nova of California design to the room as an arc floor lamp that sends a soft, dimmable arc of reading light out from the floor, no ceiling work involved.

The light is 1600 lumens of 2700K warm light, and the bulb is in the box. It dims from a stem switch on the column. Two finishes let you tune it to the palette you already have.

The Design Story

The house behind this lamp is one of the oldest names in American lighting. Nova began in Brooklyn in 1923, moved its design voice west to California, and still builds around woodworking and craft.

Why You’ll Love It

It reads as furniture, not hardware. Built from steel and linen, it has the weight a thin fixture lacks. It measures 75 in tall, 18 in wide, and 68 in reach, so the scale is easy to plan around. The light is warm and even: 1600 lumens of 2700K warm light, CRI 90+, so wood, fabric and skin tones look right. Choose your finish: body finish in satin nickel and weathered brass.

Made for Real Life

Day to day it is easy. Plug it into a regular outlet and shift it whenever the room changes; no electrician involved. Dust it with a dry cloth, keep harsh cleaners away, and use a dimmable, flicker-free LED if you dim it, as Nova recommends.

LED vs. Incandescent

A bulb’s brightness is its lumen count, and its wattage is only the electricity it uses. Here that means 1600 lumens from a 14W LED, the same punch as an old 100W incandescent, without the heat. Incandescents read a touch warmer and softer, but they run hot and burn out faster. Switching later is easy: keep the same base, and choose a dimmable, flicker-free LED rated 2700K.

Putting It Together

Expect to do a little final assembly when it arrives. Nova has a printable guide for this model: assembly instructions (PDF). It is worth a quick read before the box shows up.

Details and Dimensions

Where It Shines

It looks best by a reading chair, at the arm of a sofa, or over a bed or a desk. It is not the right pick for tight corners, because the base and the arc both want open floor and head room.
