Modern Line Lounge
Design by Greta M. GrossmanOriginally designed in 1949 and reintroduced by GUBI in 2015, Modern Line has long been favored in hospitality and workplace interiors, demonstrating its relevance in contract environments. Defined by its architectural profile and refined proportions, the collection retains its distinctive identity while, with the addition of the corner module, enabling more versatile arrangements, from linear to more enveloping layouts, across both open and more defined settings.
Modern Line’s architectural continuity
The introduction of the Modern Line Dining and Lounge evolves Greta M. Grossman’s design from individual seating elements into a modular system. The construction has been re-engineered to meet the demands of high-use environments, ensuring durability, stability, and long-term performance, while also extending the collection beyond lounge settings into dining environments.
GRETA M. GROSSMAN
Greta Magnusson Grossman (1906-1999) maintained a prolific forty-year career on two continents: Europe and North America, and operated as mover and shaker in the male dominated world of mid-century modern design. Grossman would often complete her builds with custom textiles, ceramics, furniture and lighting fixtures, and it is her furniture - such as the Modern Line Sofa and 62 Series Desk and her lighting designs, including the Gräshoppa Lamp and Cobra Lamp, for which she is best known today.
