Gräshoppa Pendant
Greta M. Grossman conceived the Gräshoppa in 1947, at a moment when Scandinavian and California modernism were finding common ground. A Swedish-born architect and designer who emigrated to Los Angeles, Grossman brought a particular precision to her work - forms that were spare without being cold, functional without being obvious.
The pendant's distinctive conical steel shade angles downward on a slender, articulated stem, distributing focused light with a quality closer to sculpture than fixture. Its silhouette - insect-like, almost weightless - gives the lamp its name and its character. The gesture is both pragmatic and quietly playful.
- Original 1947 design by Greta M. Grossman, reissued by GUBI
- Spun steel shade with a directed downward light distribution
- Available in multiple matte and gloss finish options
- Suited to dining environments, reading nooks, and open studio spaces
GUBI's reissue maintains fidelity to Grossman's original proportions and material sensibility, ensuring the lamp reads as a period artifact and a living piece of design history in equal measure.
