The Gräshoppa Floor Lamp is one of the most well known designs
by Greta Magnusson Grossman (1906–1999). With a tubular steel
tripod base on a backward diagonal slant, its unmistakable silhouette
gives the impression of a grasshopper clinging to a blade of grass.
Part of a collection designed in 1947, the floor lamp has an organic
dynamism that was a breath of fresh air within the gravitas of mid-
century modernism. The collection also includes the Gräshoppa
Table Lamp; the rotating shade and brass ball joint of which echoes
the floor lamp’s ability to direct light where needed. Completing
the collection, the Gräshoppa Pendant inverts the same elongated
conical shade design, bringing a modernist style and classic elegance
to any kitchen counter or dining table.
The powder-coated steel enables a range of 10 colors, from the
classic and timeless Black and White to a mid-century inspired
palette of Andorra Red, Anthracite Gray, Aspen Yellow, Dusty Blue,
Oyster White, Warm Gray, Vintage Red – and now Olive Brown – all
of which work equally well in combination with furniture from the
era, or as part of modern-day interior schemes.
