GMG Chaise Longue

The GMG Chaise Longue was designed in

1951 by Greta M. Grossman and with playful

elegance it is perfectly angled for lounging

whilst preserving all the streamlined qualities

of a mid-century design. Built in a shape

designed for relaxation it mirrors the body’s

natural curves while appearing to float

above its distinctive slender legs – a genuine

signature of Greta M. Grossman’s work. The

GMG Chaise Longue shows a strong interest

in merging functionality and comfort, while

simultaneously remaining a delicate and

powerful design language, revealing unique,

light and iconic touches. Representing a literal

link between European design and Californian

modernism, Grossman designed the GMG

Chaise Longue by successfully combining her

Swedish fondness for colour and texture with

the opportunities allowed by bright and open

spaces of Southern California.
