Potemine IIia of the Italian design studio Beplushave created this lamp design named "Arq" in honor of Achille Castiglioni's famous Arco lamp. Castiglioni created the elegant, modern Arco lamp in 1962 out of steel and marble for Flos. IIia's lamp is more low budget and homey looking with its bare bulb, PVC, and wood design. Instead of a chunky marble base this design has a knotty wood base and instead of steel, spay-painted PVC. The design has a bare diffuse bulb in place of the Arco's steel shade. But the lamp doesn't have anything to represent the hole in the marble base of Castiglioni's design. As pointed out in the design-milk article "The concept was born from the combination of two materials that have no connection , and typically have for completely different use."
