Cool minimalistic “Globe” floor lamp designed by Aldo van den Nieuwelaar and produced by Domani in the Netherlands in 1967. This table lamp is part of the ‘Globe’ series and shows the minimal and well-balanced style of the Dutch designer. The lamps has a matte milk-glass globe and a white painted metal frame made from a single piece. The frame starts as a circle on the bottom and transitions into a vertical stem then cleverly bends and holds the globe. The lamp gives off a soft and inviting light. Due to its size it’s a versatile piece that could be placed on a low table, desk or even on the floor. 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.
