This light has many similarities with the globe lamps designed by Max Bill (22 December 1908 – 9 December 1994).

Max Bill was a Swiss architect, painter, typeface designer, industrial designer, graphic designer and artist.

The electric components of the lamp are all Italian, they originate from the VLM S.p.A. company from Buccinasco near Milan. The switch is a VLM type from the mid 1960s.
