C. 1948 Greta Magnusson Grossman for Bergborn G-33 Grasshopper Floor Lamp Blue
About the Item
This is an original Grasshopper Floor Lamp, initially designed by Greta Magnusson Grossman for Bergborn in 1947. This example was produced in Sweden ca. 1948. The lamp retains its original blue paint, and functions properly. It has a tubular steel tripod stand which is tilted backward, and a conical steel shade that is mounted to a movable joint. The light is able to be pointed where you need it, allowing directional movement. The wiring appears to be original to the piece. This lamp was purchased from the estate of the original owner, and the family recalls this lamp being purchased prior to 1955.
The piece measures 17.72 inches long, 15 inches wide, and 59.27 inches high. There are some scrtches and scuffs on the metal. Overall, this lamp is in very good original condition. Please see photos.

Greta Magnusson Grossman
Designer and architect Greta Magnusson Grossman first gained fame in her native Sweden, where she established her store and workshop and became the first woman to receive a prize for furniture design from the Swedish Society of Industrial Design. In 1940, she married jazz musician Billy Grossman and moved to Los Angeles.
Upon her arrival in Southern California, she opened the Magnusson Grossman Studio on Rodeo Drive and rapidly became popular among the Hollywood elite, including Greta Garbo and Gracie Allen.
In addition to creating iconic furniture and lighting — like the Grasshopper series for Barker Bros. or the Cobra lamp for Ralph O. Smith — Magnusson Grossman designed 14 homes in the Los Angeles area inspired by the Case Study Houses.
Combining her Scandinavian roots with laid-back West Coast style, Magnusson Grossman became a notable contributor to California modernism.
