SCULPTURAL SEMI-SPHERE FLOOR LAMP BY ALDO VAN DEN NIEUWELAAR, THE NETHERLANDS 1970s
SCULPTURAL SEMI-SPHERE FLOOR LAMP BY ALDO VAN DEN NIEUWELAAR, THE NETHERLANDS 1970S
RARE FLOOR LAMP DESIGNED BY ALDO VAN DEN NIEUWELAAR IN THE 1970S. MOST LIKELY PRODUCED IN A LIMITED EDITION UNDER THE DESIGNER’S OWN DIRECTION, FEATURING SEVERAL OF HIS UNMISTAKABLE DESIGN SIGNATURES. THE LAMP RESTS ON VAN DEN NIEUWELAAR’S CHARACTERISTIC CIRCULAR BASE, SUPPORTING A SLENDER METAL STEM THAT LEADS TO A SEMI-SPHERICAL OPALINE GLASS SHADE RESTING WITHIN A BLACK SYNTHETIC RING.
THE COMPOSITION IS ELEGANT, ARCHITECTURAL, AND REDUCED TO ITS ESSENTIAL GEOMETRIC FORMS—AN APPROACH THAT DEFINES MUCH OF VAN DEN NIEUWELAAR’S CELEBRATED WORK. THE COMBINATION OF THE CIRCULAR BASE, REFINED PROPORTIONS, AND FLOATING GLASS DOME RESULTS IN A HIGHLY RECOGNIZABLE AND TIMELESS DESIGN.
PRESENTED IN WONDERFUL CONDITION. AN EXCEPTIONAL PIECE BY ONE OF THE NETHERLANDS’ MOST DISTINCTIVE AND INFLUENTIAL POST-WAR DESIGNERS. RARELY ENCOUNTERED ON THE MARKET.
