Greta Magnusson Grossman was a Swedish design icon, whose career was in full swing in the 40s, 50s and 60s. Her talents were reflected in her work, which ranged from sculptural to architectural. She had a flair for combining wood with then-unconventional materials like metal and plastic. Aside from her successful furniture designs, her unique style especially came through in her lamps.
