The Greta Magnusson Grossman exhibition at Arkitekturmuseet in Stockholm.

瑞典家具设计师兼建筑师格蕾塔·马格努森·格罗斯曼(Greta Magnusson Grossman)或许没有像她的同时代人查尔斯·伊姆斯(Charles And Ray Eames)那样出名，但在她去世十年后，她仍然有着忠实的追随者现在，她在斯德哥尔摩的Arkitekturmuseet的第一次大型回顾展和新书“格蕾塔·马格努森·格罗斯曼：一辆车和一些短裤”的发行迎来了她的明星。两人都是格罗斯曼40年职业生涯的幕后推手。1940年，当她从斯德哥尔摩搬到美国时，她对瑞典现代主义的独特看法在美国大受欢迎。她为巴克兄弟(BarkerBrothers)等人制作的灯具产生了如此多的复制品，它们已成为世纪中叶风格的偶像。格罗斯曼(Grossman)为包括加州格伦(Glenn)在内的品牌设计的家具也因其独特的材料组合而备受青睐，比如色彩鲜艳的纺织品和配以黑色塑料层压板和锻铁的加州胡桃。她的作品的细长比例也使它们立即被辨认出来。在Arkitekturmuseet的展览-与纽约的R 20世纪-也有建筑模型，照片和电影剪辑。令人好奇的是，格罗斯曼抵达美国后的首要目标是：“买辆车和一些短裤”。这是她走向自我美国化的第一步。
