Grossman in 1947. Part of GUBI's iconic Grasshoppa collection, this floor lamp pays abstract homage to the insect it shares its name with, captivating with its angular and striking shape, reminiscent of a grasshopper's bent legs. As unique and innovative today as it was 70 years ago, the Grashoppa Floor Lamp stands as a true testament to the enduring power of visionary design. Crafted with precision and artistry, the lamp features a tubular steel tripod stand that tilts backward, infusing a sense of life and dynamism into its design. The elongated conical shade, made of aluminium, is thoughtfully ball-jointed onto the arm, offering the freedom to direct the light with minimal glare, while ensuring both ambient and directional illumination. Its versatile design makes it a perfect addition to living rooms, home offices, or any contemporary space seeking a touch of elegance and functionality. The Grashoppa Floor Lamp boasts a shade diameter of 15cm, a shade height of 23.3cm, and an overall width of 43.5cm, making it a sleek and compact lighting solution. With an overall height of 125.3cm, it stands tall, commanding attention and becoming an object of fascination in any room it graces. A true feat of design engineering, the tubular flexible arm can be effortlessly bent in all directions, and the shade can rotate 360°, giving you complete control over the direction of light, adding to its versatility and functionality. Greta M. Grossman's whimsical design language is embodied in the distinctive elongated conical shade, offering a beautiful blend of organic and modern aesthetics. The powder-coated aluminium base, weighted with a cast iron ballast, ensures stability and durability, while the powder-coated stand and shade complete the ensemble with a touch of contemporary flair. The Grashoppa Floor Lamp not only provides a perfect, functional addition but also doubles as a sophisticated light object that adds an artistic dimension to any space. Experience the timeless allure of the Grashoppa Floor Lamp and embrace the remarkable legacy of Greta M. Grossman, whose designs have become collectible classics, celebrated and coveted by design enthusiasts worldwide.
