Pair of Cobra Wall Lamps, Hard Wired, Black
About the Item
The distinctive cobra wall lamp is designed by Greta M. Grossman in the 1950s, taking its name from the oval shade, playfully resembling the snake’s hood. Greta M. Grossman’s delicate design language beautifully comes to live with the lamp’s simple, soft-edged form, light and iconic in expression whilst equally aesthetic and useful.
The flexible shade can be adjusted 360 degrees, which creates a soft light that spreads up the wall, making it the perfect illumination for entrances and hallways.
The lamp can also be tilted 90° from horizontal to vertical. Switch on back plate.

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.
