Exclusive to Cult Design.
One of the most distinctive design concepts to emerge from the career of Swedish-born designer and architect Greta M. Grossman, the Gräshoppa Collection has long been beloved for its innovative blend of classic modernism and organic playfulness.
GUBI’s new iteration of the Gräshoppa Table Lamp introduces a canvas shade to the design, staying true to Grossman’s pioneering spirit while adding fresh style and character.
Greta Grossman (1906-1999) maintained a prolific forty-year career on two continents: Europe and North America. Her achievements were many and encompassed industrial design, interior design and architecture. In 1933, having successfully completed her fellowship at the renowned Stockholm arts institution, Konstfack, she opened Studio, a combined store and workshop. During the same year Grossman married jazz musician, Billy Grossman with whom she later emigrated to the United States, settling in Los Angeles. Through the 40's and 50's Grossman exhibited her designs at museums worldwide, including MoMA in New York and The National Museum in Stockholm.
