About the Item

Very rare lighting object 'Outline' by Dutch minimal designer and architect Aldo van den Nieuwelaar for Nila Lighting His designs are part of the permanent collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and the Museum of Modern Art in New York Aldo van den Nieuwelaar (1944-2010) was one of the most outstanding Dutch designers of the 1960s and 1970s. After his graduation from the academy of arts, he started to work for the highly influential Dutch designer Benno Premsela. Inspired by his employer, the De Stijl movement and Minimalist art of the 1960s Van den Nieuwelaar developed a stringent geometrical style. In 1969, shortly after opening his own office, Van den Nieuwelaar came up with a series of lamps which were all based on the application of fluorescent tubes. The entire range was exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Photo 9 & 10 "Aldo van den Nieuwelaar looking at a Mondriaan in Museum” photocredits: Joris van den Nieuwelaar 4th of may 2005
