DESCRIPTION
Description
This metal-and-light-ring composition toes the line between utilitarian and absurd, part brutalist relic, part sci-fi prop. The TC–6 is Aldo van den Nieuwelaar’s quiet rebellion against decorative lighting. No frills, no flourishes, just a perfect circle of light resting in silent tension with its squared-off base. It's what happens when geometry is treated like poetry. A museum piece that actually lives well in a home.
