Gräshoppa Floor Lamp
Design by Greta M. GrossmanThe iconic Gräshoppa Floor Lamp was first produced in 1947 by the feminine pioneer Greta M. Grossman. The unique tripod stand of the Gräshoppa Floor Lamp is tilted backwards and gives the impression that the lamp is somehow alive and stalking its prey. Being one of Grossman’s most iconic designs, the authentic lamp has an elongated conical shade that rotates to direct light where needed.
The adjustable shade directs light where needed, adding functionality to its distinctive form. With its playful expression and timeless silhouette, the Gräshoppa Floor Lamp remains one of Greta M. Grossman’s most celebrated designs.
