Other versions: This 1960s white globes floor lamp was probably made in several colours. Also more or less globes is possible. Not to mention other models such as table lamps and wall lamps.

This floor lamp has all the looks of a street light or garden lamp, but I don’t think it was meant for that. However, the lamps are closed on top, so it is possible. Rain or water can’t reach the electric parts inside. The electric parts are all replaced unfortunately, so it does not give any clue. To identify, never saw another before.

The most well known white globes floor lamps were designed by Eva Renée Nele Bode not Max Bill and produced by Temde Leuchten from Germany

Vetro Doublé: an object made of two layers of glass normally of two different colours.
