Nova Stretch 75"H 1-Light Chairside Arc Lamp

Stretch 75"H 1-Light Chairside Arc Lamp is an arc floor lamp that sends a soft, dimmable arc of reading light out from the floor, no ceiling work involved.

The light is 1500 lumens of 2700K warm light. It dims from a foot slide dimmer on the floor. 20 finish combinations let you tune it to the palette you already have.

The Design Story

Nova opened in a Brooklyn factory in 1923 and now draws from Venice Beach, California. The line is what Nova calls California Modern: furniture-grade wood, metal and glass shaped into lamps meant to be lived with.

Why You’ll Love It

It reads as furniture, not hardware. Built from steel, linen, and composite, it has the weight a thin fixture lacks. It measures 75 in tall, 24 in wide, and 72 in reach, so the scale is easy to plan around. The light is warm and even: 1500 lumens of 2700K warm light, CRI 95+, so wood, fabric and skin tones look right. Choose your finish: finish in pool blue, white, black, crimson red, and matte black; shade in turquoise, white, avocado, black, burlap, cashmere gray, crimson red, and mustard.

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 1500 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. The instructions are packed in the box; ask us if you want a look at them first.

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.
