The Dutch movement of Neoplasticism, more commonly known as De Stijl, furthered the principles of pure abstraction with reduced and rationalized forms. Primary color schemes bolstered this rigid adherence to principles of form. This lamp, although designer unknown, represents a perfect balance of color, form and geometry.
