Designer, interior decorator

Minimalist table lamp model A250 designed by Aldo van den Nieuwelaar and manufactured by Artimeta in the Netherlands in 1972. It’s made of matt chrome-plated steel with a beautiful dome shaped frosted milk-white glass shade. The thin stem smoothly connects to a chrome ring at the base to give the lamp its balance. The lamp gives off a beautiful atmospheric light that has a great reach. The lamps has its original pull cord that serves to put the lamp on and off. The lamp is in fully original condition and looks fantastic. A truly wonderful light sculpture and an iconic design by van den Nieuwelaar.
