Another way to state your condition is to say that every 2 dimensional subspace is norm one complemented. This implies that the space is isometrically isomorphic to a Hilbert space. I am not sure who first Kakutani proved this in Some characterizations of Euclidean space, but itJap. J. Math. 16, (1939). 93–97. It is also a remark at the end of Bruck's paper
