The GUBI Gräshoppa Floor Lamp is an iconic lighting design originally created in 1947 by Greta M. Grossman, one of the pioneering female designers of the modern era. With its distinctive character and playful proportions, the Gräshoppa remains one of Grossman's most recognisable designs.

The lamp's defining feature is its unique tripod stand, which is tilted backwards to create the impression of movement, almost as though the lamp is alive and stalking its prey. This unexpected angle gives the design its signature personality while maintaining a refined and functional silhouette.

An elongated conical shade completes the design and can be rotated to direct light precisely where it is needed. The combination of adjustable illumination, sculptural form, and distinctive construction makes the Gräshoppa an equally compelling functional floor lamp and decorative design object.

With its timeless mid-century character and playful modernist aesthetic, the Gräshoppa Floor Lamp works beautifully beside sofas, lounge chairs, reading areas, and other living spaces where both ambient and directed light are desired.
