Description
The iconic Gräshoppa Floor Lamp was first produced in 1947 by the feminine pioneer Greta M. Grossman. The unique tripod stand of the Gräshoppa Floor Lamp is tilted backwards and gives the impression that the lamp is alive and stalking its prey. One of Grossman’s most iconic designs, the authentic lamp has an elongated conical shade that can be tilted and rotated 360° to direct light where needed.
Our Stylist Says
This design is a fantastic example of mid-century influence with its clean lines and playful form, making it a standout piece in both modern and eclectic interiors. I love how the Gubi Grasshoppa adds a touch of character without overwhelming a space, making it ideal for living rooms, reading nooks, or even statement corners in a home office. It works particularly well in interiors with a mix of vintage and contemporary elements, where its bold silhouette can be showcased. For styling tips, consider pairing it with textured fabrics or patterned wallpaper to create a dynamic contrast, or position it to highlight an art piece or architectural feature. Its adjustable head and flexible arm make it as practical as it is stylish, perfect for task lighting or creating cosy ambiences.

About Heal's
Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional design.
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
