Gräshoppa floor lamp
WE WILL DELIVER IN:
Typically dispached within 2-4 weeks.
The iconic Gräshoppa lamp from Gubi was first produced in 1947. The tubular steel tripod stand is tilted backward and the elongated aluminium conical shade is ball-jointed onto the arm; so the light can be directional, yet the glare is minimal.
The tubular flexible arm can be bent in all directions and the shade can be rotated through 360º. The base is covered in powder-coated aluminium and weighted with a cast iron ballast. Both stand and shade are powder-coated.
The most iconic products Greta Grossman designed in the 40's and 50's were the Grasshopper floor lamp and the Gubi Cobra floor and table lamps. 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. Grossman, in turn, played a significant role in defining the aesthetic of mid-century Californian Modernism.
Today, Grossman's product designs are highly collectible and are sold at auctions all around the world. Grossman's products are unique, modern classic designs.
