GUBI Gräshoppa Pendant

The pendant is crafted entirely from steel, which gives it a durable, high-quality feel while maintaining the clean, minimalist silhouette characteristic of Greta M. Grossman’s original 1947 design.

Yes, the Gräshoppa is an excellent choice for task lighting. Its focused, downward-facing shade provides direct illumination, making it highly effective when installed in a series over a kitchen island or dining table.

While it is a quintessential piece of mid-century modern design, its clean lines and organic shape are incredibly versatile. It integrates seamlessly into contemporary, industrial, or even minimalist spaces by acting as a refined, timeless focal point.

The Gräshoppa pendant is designed for standard flat ceilings. If you have a sloped ceiling, you will likely need to consult with a professional electrician to determine if a compatible canopy adapter can be used without compromising the fixture's aesthetic.

Because the shade is made of solid steel, the light is directed downward rather than diffused through the sides. This creates a concentrated pool of light, which is ideal for highlighting specific surfaces rather than providing general, ambient room lighting.
