Greta Grossman
Born: 1906.\ Death: 1999.\ Famous works: Gräshoppa lamp, Cobra lamp and Series-62 desk.\ Education: Architect and draftsman.
Greta Magnusson Grossman was a Swedish design icon whose career was at its peak in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Her many talents were expressed in her work, which ranged from sculptures to architecture. She had a flair for combining wood with then unconventional materials such as metal and plastic. In addition to her great success in furniture design, her unique design language was particularly evident in Greta Grossman's lamps. This is also where her delicate design language and unique sense of giving the design personality came into its own.
In the early 1930s, she became one of the first women to receive a scholarship to the Stockholm School of Industrial Design - today known as Konstfack. She then opened her own studio in Stockholm, which was a combination workshop and shop. Grossman later moved to Los Angeles with her husband, where she quickly established a new studio on Rodeo Drive. Alongside designers like Eames Saarinen and George Nelson, Greta Grossman became part of the American design and cultural elite. Her clientele included celebrities such as Greta Garbo and Frank Sinatra, among others.

Grasshopper and GUBI
Greta Grossman's lighting designs were often characterized by organic shapes and an industrial look. Besides having a simple look and high functionality, her lamps are full of personality in their expression. Grossman's lively Gräshoppa lamp from 1947 is a good example. The unique design language gives the impression that the lamp is ready to jump forward in an attempt to chase its prey. Today, the series includes the Gräshoppa floor lamp, Gräshoppa pendant and Gräshoppa table lamp, which remains as popular as ever.
Grossman's lamps have a look that fits perfectly into the range of the Danish design brand GUBI. The sophisticated and modern design language is designed with a focus on functionality as well as aesthetics. The lamps provide the perfect light that can be used in any home; over the kitchen or dining table, at the desk or as a reading light in the sofa corner. GUBI is design that stimulates the senses, is beautiful and practical at the same time. GUBI pursues perfection with a high degree of passion and courage, which fits perfectly with Greta Grossman's ideas on lighting.
