The Arc lamp was produced only 5 times according to the designer. 2 with a concrete base, 1 with plexiglass base, 1 granite, and one steel base.

This model is the model that was used in the book on Pentagon.

The New German design movement produced different schools or groups within itself according to geographical location and its particular influ- ences. A common thread amongst the different groups was a distinct sense of self, evident in the work, which had not been previously present in classic German design. Using common materials that were low cost and readily available, the result was a raw, severe aesthetic with an unmistak- able energy. With its brutal honesty, new German 80s design remains un- contrived, refreshing, and truly reflective of the social conditions in which it originated.
