Greta M. Grossman was a Swedish furniture designer, interior designer and architect who maintained a prolific forty-year career across Europe and North America. A mover and shaker in the male dominated world of mid-century modern design, Grossman’s had a gift for creating timeless designs with elegant, feminine and light expressions.
A true pioneer of her time, Grossman was one of the first ever females to graduate from the Stockholm School of Industrial Design. Grossman’s designs have been exhibited in museums worldwide including MoMa in New York and The National Museum in Stockholm.Grossman’s career was at its height during the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s during the Californian Design Movement. At the time, celebrities such as Greta Garbo and Frank Sinatra were part of her list of clients.
For many years, the Grossman name somewhat disappeared from the design landscape. Recognising Grossman’s pioneering style and unique vision, Danish design house GUBI have revived her most recognised designs including the Grashoppa Floor Lamp, the Cobra Table Lamp and the Modern Line Collection, giving them new life.
