Floor lamp 'Grasshopper'

By Greta Magnusson Grossman for Bergboms, Sweden

1950s

This ‘Grasshopper’ floor lamp, designed by Greta Magnusson-Grossman for Bergboms in Sweden during the 1950s, is a celebrated icon of mid-century Scandinavian design. The lamp features a slender, lacquered metal frame with its signature tripod base and a gracefully angled stem, giving it a light, dynamic, and almost insect-like form, hence the name "Grasshopper." The conical, adjustable shade allows for directed light, making it a functional and elegant reading lamp.Greta Magnusson-Grossman brought a distinctive modernist aesthetic to her designs, blending playful forms with a minimalist, architectural approach.
