Product Information

Full details

The Gräshoppa floor lamp, designed by Greta M. Grossman, is perfect for mid-century design enthusiasts looking to add a functional yet iconic piece to their home or office. Its defining feature is the backwards-tilting tripod base combined with an adjustable conical shade, providing directed, task-oriented light in a slender, elegant frame. A key caveat for potential owners is that the lightbulb is not included, and the lamp requires a specific E14 fitting to operate effectively.

Troubleshooting

Check if the bulb is screwed in properly and verify that the power outlet is active. Ensure the foot switch is pressed firmly.
