About the Designer

Greta Magnusson Grossman

(1906–1999)

Greta Magnusson Grossman (1906–1999) maintained a prolific forty-year career on two continents: Europe and North America. Her achievements were many and include industrial design, interior design, and architecture. In 1933, after successfully completing her fellowship at the renowned Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, in Stockholm, she opened Studio, a combined store, and workshop. During the same year, she married the jazz musician Billy Grossman with whom she later emigrated to the United States, settling in Los Angeles. Through the ’40s and 50’s Greta Magnusson Grossman exhibited her designs at museums worldwide, including MoMA in New York and The National Museum in Stockholm.

The most iconic products Greta Magnusson Grossman designed in the ’40s and ’50s were the Grasshopper floor lamp and the Cobra floor and table lamps. In 1950, the Cobra lamp won the Good Design Award and was subsequently exhibited at the Good Design Show at the Museum of Modern Art. Greta Magnusson Grossman was highly influenced by European Modernism, which had been imported to the US by influential architects, such as Walter Gropius (founder of the Bauhaus) and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Greta Magnusson Grossman, in turn, played a significant role in defining the aesthetic of mid-century Californian Modernism.The iconic Grasshopper lamp was first produced in 1947. The tubular steel tripod stand is tilted backward and the elongated aluminum conical shade is ball-jointed onto the arm, so the light can be directional, yet the glare is minimal. Both stand and shade are powder-coated. Today, Greta Magnusson Grossman’s product designs are highly collectible and are sold at auctions all around the world. Greta Magnusson Grossman’s products are unique, modern classic designs.

One of my favorite items from furnish plus, I haven’t bought it yet but I purchased their dining chairs from them (the cesca chairs and they are incredible) and the experience was absolutely amazing. Might have to open the wallet again soon before the sales are out.

Main point goes to the alum screws and drills, and the gold option is totally brilliant as well, it’s good if you’re single, not for a big family I must say.

Just had my orange pendant and I 100% recommend. If they even made this Grasshopper Pendant in different size I would buy again.

Beautiful and simplistic, I bought this Grasshopper Pendant Lamp from them last week for my bedroom and they had their same day delivery service, (only when you’re in Vancouver). Straight off the catalogue and I didn’t have to do much except for having to ask my husband to mount to the ceiling.
