Aldo van den Nieuwelaar ‘Circle’ Wall light perspex with TL-tube for Nila Lights

About the Item

Rare and Important “Circle” wall light. These wall objects, were made in 3 dimensions, 100, 120 and 150 cm. and thick 6 cm. Signed with paper label by designer / manufacturer. Permanent collection of Museum Cuypershuis, Roermond, Netherlands. Literature: Aldo van den Nieuwelaar, light & furniture, page 5. Dutch designer, industrial designer and sculptor Aldo van den Nieuwelaar studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Breda and then worked at various architectural firms in Amsterdam. He was inspired by the sober clarity of Gerrit Rietveld and De Stijl, the Bauhaus of the 1920s and minimalist art of the 1960s. In 1969 he started work as an independent designer, experimenting with geometry. He was a systematic modular designer. Characterized by geometric abstraction, a systematic approach and a minimal use of image resources he gets to an almost timid, more anonymous and everlasting product. Not fashionable. In designing his lamps, he took the source of light as his starting point and for this he strongly preferred using diffuse fluorescent light as it resembles daylight in its even and less distorting brightness. As can be seen with the ‘Circellamp’ and the ‘Outline’, these lamps are more ‘light objects’ with a strong spatial almost physical energy.
