About the Item

Table lamp model A250 designed by Aldo van den Nieuwelaar, manufactured by Artimeta Soest in the Netherlands in 1972. This eye-catching lamp has a beautiful smooth design. The white lacquered metal base has a very nice curved shape holding the milk glass hood. Van den Nieuwelaar made three models of this lamp: the A250, the A251 and the A252. This version -A250, is the table lamp of the series. Being all white this lamp has a wonderful harmonious design and emits a lovely warm light when lit. In good vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. Aldo van den Nieuwelaar is 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. He believes in evergreens. By analyzing his designs you will consistenly encounter the same attributes: simplicity and clarity of form. This derives from Aldo being able to reduce the design of all his products to their very essence without losing sight of the needs for which the products are designed in the first place. In designing his lamps, he for instance takes the source of light as his starting point and for this he strongly prefers using diffuse fluorescent light as it resembles daylight in its even and less distorting brightness. As can be seen with the ‘Circlelight’ and the ‘Outline’, these lamps are more ‘light objects’ with a strong spatial almost physical energy. It can be said that Aldo van den Nieuwelaar, in his work, focuses on the analytical form, in such a way that his designs can very well be used architecturally. In this way his use of images is similar to that of minimal-art artists.
