Gubi by Greta M. Grossman Walnut & Black 62 Desk
About the Item
Originally designed by Greta M. Grossman in 1952, the desk was named the 62 for being a decade ahead of its time in its design aesthetic.
Now an iconic piece of mid-century furniture, the 62 Desk is a-symmetric in style and perfectly balances the use of contrasting materials.
Constructed from American walnut, the body of the desk has a sleek, linear silhouette with a glossy black finish on the desktop and cabinet door.
The desk sits on a curved metal leg that interlocks with a juxtaposing straight line in wood. The slim metal legs give an overall lightweight effect, balancing elegantly on wooden ball feet.
The cabinet opens to reveal three drawers in matching walnut, offering plenty of storage space, and the door handle mirrors the wooden ball feet.
A true piece of design history, the timeless 62 desk would make the perfect addition to any home office or workspace.

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.
