Designer, interior decorator

Rare floor lamp designed by Aldo vd Nieuwelaar and manufactured by Domani, The Netherlands 1967. This modern floor lamp is part of the ‘Globe’ series and is a great example of the work of Dutch designer Aldo van den Nieuwelaar. His style is known for being minimal and well-balanced. The lamp was made by the Dutch company Domani for only a short time and in limited quantities because many parts had to be handmade. It has a perfect milk-glass globe and a unique and rare yellow iron frame made from a single piece. The frame starts as a circle that goes over in a vertical stem, then makes a genius bend to where the globe is held and ends in a smaller vertival stem where the light socket is placed on. The lamp gives off great soft light that creates a perfect atmosphere. In fantastic original condition.

Born in 1944, Aldo van den Nieuwe­laar is a Dutch designer and archi­tect. He founded his own studio in 1969 and spent his career design­ing furni­ture, light fixtures, light sculp­tures, and archi­tec­ture. His work is known for its simplic­ity and clarity of form Van den Nieuwelaar’s iconic work is in his sculp­tural fluo­res­cent light­ing which often featured curved steel tubes in white and chrome and geomet­ric fluo­res­cent tubes. One example is the TC6, a square box with a circu­lar fluo­res­cent tube. In 1973 van den Nieuwe­laar collab­o­rated with Pastoe to create a series of narrow cabi­nets with shutter doors. His award-winning designs are exhib­ited in museums through­out the Nether­lands as well as the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
