This chaise longue had a short production run and was one of the last fully upholstered pieces that Grossman designed, similar to another chaise with wrought iron feet she created around the same time. There are a few photographs of this version, produced by Sherman Bertram. Its scale is unusual in comparison to other chaise longues because it is wide and short, almost like a love seat. This piece can be seen in a sketch Grossman created for the residence of Frank Sinatra, alongside the floor lamp also on this show. The present example is upholstered with “Max” fabric designed and handwoven by rruka.

This wall or ceiling version of Greta Magnusson Grossman’s famous Cobra lamp was made by Ralph O. Smith and initially sold at Barker Brothers. With the success of Grossman’s designs, however, the father-and-son team based in Burbank grew to be a retailer in its own right. The lamp was then advertised as a direct partnership between Ralph O. Smith Modern Lamps and Fixtures, and Magnusson Grossman Design. Originally called Fixture No. 905, this model Cobra could be swiveled to a vertical position for indirect light or to light wall works, or turned downwards to serve as a desk light.
