A model TC6 table lamp, by Dutch designer Aldo van den Nieuwelaar in 1969. The lamp has a circular tube light coming out of a metal base. It can also be used as a wall lamp.

This TC6 is a classic and, together with the ‘A’dammers’, slender cabinets with horizontal tambour doors designed for Pastoe in 1973, one of his best known designs.
