GUBI Gräshoppa tripod floor lamp, olive brown

Design floor lamp Gräshoppa with adjustable head - a design icon by Greta Magnusson Grossman

The floor lamp Gräshoppa gets a lively touch by the slightly tilted backwards three-legged frame, which makes it a trendy furnishing accessory for many living areas. Its luminaire head is conically shaped and can be adjusted in the direction, so that the light direction can be adapted to individual needs. Gräshoppa is conveniently switched on and off via the foot switch integrated into the supply cable. The design comes from the Swedish design pioneer Greta Magnusson Grossman and was already presented in 1947.

Greta Magnusson Grossman (1906-1999) studied at the renowned Stockholm art school Konstfack and opened her own studio - a combination of shop and workshop - in 1933. After marrying jazz musician Billy Grossman, she moved to California in 1940 and opened a shop on Los Angeles' famous Rodeo Drive, becoming one of the first to bring modern Scandinavian style to North America. Prominent artists of the time such as Joan Fontaine, Greta Garbo, Frank Sinatra and Ingrid Bergman were among her customers.
