TIMELESS ELEGANCE
The Gräshoppa Table Lamp, a timeless piece first designed in 1947, remains as contemporary as ever with its elegant and playful aesthetic. This lamp features a unique, elongated conical shade that pairs seamlessly with a tubular brass stand, showcasing Grossman's whimsical yet modern design sensibilities. Perfectly functional for a desk and equally suited as a sophisticated lighting element in any room, the Gräshoppa Table Lamp blends organic form with a modern touch.
EARTHY, NATURAL SHADES. SHINY, GLEAMING SURFACES
GUBI’s launch of new colors for the Gräshoppa Collection coincides with a renewed global appreciation for 1970s aesthetics – characterized by earthy, natural shades, as well as shiny, gleaming surfaces. The two new finishes capture both the love of nature and the inclination towards high-gloss textures that defined the decade.
GRETA M. GROSSMAN
Greta M. Grossman (1906–1999) was an innovator in the male-dominated worlds of mid-century industrial and interior design and architecture, gaining international recognition for her work.
She was born and educated in Sweden, setting up Studio – her first combined store and workshop – in Stockholm the same year she married musician Billy Grossman. With the onset of the Second World War, the pair emigrated to California where she worked as an architect. She was among the first to bring the Scandinavian modern aesthetic to southern California’s burgeoning modernist scene.
