Other versions: This “swirl” WOFI Leuchten zebra globe table lamp was made in 3 sizes. 20, 25 and 30 cm. (7.8, 9.8, 11.8”) Pendant lamps, floor lamps, table lamps in different forms, all in the same striped “zebra” design were produced.

WOFI Leuchten
WOFI Leuchten Wortmann & Filz GmbH was founded in Sundern, Germany in 1959/60 by the Wortmann & Filz families. The name WOFi is an abbreviation of Wortmann & Filz. In 1964, their headquarters moved from Sundern to Meschede-Freienohl.
Over the years WOFI produced many lamps, as you can see with Google images, but nothing spectacular.
Since 2013, WOFI is part of the EVERLIGHT Co.LTD.
