Globe Floor Lamp attributed to Aldo Van Den Nieuwelaar for Domani, 1967

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.
