Swedish designer Greta Magnusson Grossman was one of the leading forces behind bringing Scandinavian mid-century design to America. After migrating to the USA and opening her shop on Rodeo Drive, it wasn’t long before Grossman’s name was included among the likes of Isamu Noguchi and Charles Eames.
Despite being a major figure of the mid-century design movement, Grossman was somewhat forgotten after her retirement. It wasn’t until Gubi began reissuing her designs that she re-entered the spotlight as a design icon. Know designs like the Grasshopper Lamp and the Cobra Wall Light have returned to our homes, long may Greta M. Grossman remain a figurehead of mid-century design.
