ILLUMINATING ELEGANCE
The Cobra Floor Lamp, conceived by Greta M. Grossman in the 1950s, draws its aesthetic from the elegant curve of a cobra's neck, which intriguingly is also the namesake of this design. This lamp stands as a timeless yet distinctive piece, featuring a versatile arm that can be adjusted in multiple directions. This functionality allows it to serve as both a comfortable reading light and as an artistic illumination when aimed at the wall.
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.
