The GUBI Gräshoppa Table Lamp is an iconic lighting design created by Swedish-American designer Greta M. Grossman in 1947. Combining sophisticated form with playful proportions, the Gräshoppa remains a timeless expression of Grossman’s distinctive design language, balancing organic shapes with modernist simplicity.

The lamp's defining feature is its elongated conical shade, elegantly positioned on a slender tubular brass stand. The distinctive silhouette gives the Gräshoppa a light, sculptural quality while directing illumination precisely where it is needed.

Designed as both a functional task light and a decorative object, the Gräshoppa Table Lamp is perfectly suited to desks, bedside tables, consoles, shelves, and living spaces. Its refined materials and whimsical character allow it to complement both contemporary and classic interiors.
