RARE SET OF TWO: ALDO VAN DEN NIEUWELAAR A-252 TABLE LAMPS FOR ARTIMETA (1972)
INCLUDES BOTH THE ‘MINI’ AND ‘MAXI’ VERSIONS — NEVER OFFERED TOGETHER AS A COMPLETE SET

OFFERED HERE IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE SET OF TWO A-252 TABLE LAMPS BY ALDO VAN DEN NIEUWELAAR FOR ARTIMETA SOEST, DESIGNED AND PRODUCED IN 1972. THIS SET INCLUDES THE HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER ‘MINI’ VERSION ALONGSIDE THE RARELY SEEN ‘MAXI’ VARIANT — A STRIKING COMBINATION THAT HAS NEVER BEFORE BEEN OFFERED TOGETHER AS A COMPLETE SET.

VAN DEN NIEUWELAAR, A LEADING FIGURE IN DUTCH MODERNISM, WAS KNOWN FOR HIS GEOMETRIC PRECISION, FUNCTIONAL SIMPLICITY, AND VISIONARY USE OF FORM. PRODUCED BY ARTIMETA IN A LIMITED RUN, HIS A-252 SERIES — PART OF A FAMILY THAT INCLUDED THE A-250 AND A-251 — IS NOW HIGHLY COVETED BY COLLECTORS WORLDWIDE. ONLY 223 EXAMPLES OF THE MINI ARE KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN SOLD.

EACH LAMP FEATURES A WHITE-LACQUERED METAL CUBE BASE PAIRED WITH A WHITE OPALINE GLASS SHADE. WHEN LIT, THEY EMIT A SOFT, AMBIENT GLOW. THE SCALE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE MINI AND MAXI REVEALS A RARE DIMENSIONALITY TO VAN DEN NIEUWELAAR’S WORK, MAKING THIS COMBINATION BOTH SCULPTURAL AND BALANCED.

BOTH LAMPS ARE IN VERY GOOD ORIGINAL CONDITION, WITH MINIMAL SIGNS OF AGE. THE MINI STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL ARTIMETA STICKER ON THE BASE, CONFIRMING AUTHENTICITY.

PLEASE NOTE: A SECOND MINI VERSION IS ALSO AVAILABLE SEPARATELY, SHOULD YOU WISH TO CREATE A TRIO OR EXTENDED DISPLAY.

STUDIO HAAG IS PROUD TO OFFER THIS TRULY UNIQUE SET, ALONGSIDE OTHER ICONIC PIECES BY VAN DEN NIEUWELAAR, INCLUDING THE TC6 TABLE LAMP AND A251 FLOOR MODEL. A REMARKABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE DEDICATED COLLECTOR.
