About the Item
Greta Grossman Cobra lamp for Ralph O. Smith, Ca. The table lamp is nicknamed the Cobra lamp as it resembles a cobra’s hood. A flexible segmented chrome curving arm arches upward from the round base. The oblong shade slants gently from the back to the front tapering along the way for an attractive shape. Lamp is operated by a push-button on/off switch on base with its original wiring. Retains the original manufacturer's label to the interior of the shade. In good original vintage condition and works as it should.

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.
