GMG Chaise Longue
Made by GUBI
Designed by Greta M. Grossman
Greta Magnusson Grossman occupied a rare position in mid-century design: a Swedish-born architect who transplanted European discipline into the sun-saturated culture of postwar California. Her furniture reflects that duality, pairing structural rigor with an ease of posture that feels wholly Californian.
The GMG Chaise Longue, reissued by GUBI, distills that sensibility into a single recumbent form. Its silhouette is spare without severity, each curve arriving at its angle with quiet intention. The frame achieves visual lightness through careful proportion, while the upholstered surface offers a depth of comfort that only becomes apparent in use.
- Reissued through GUBI's archival design program
- Designed by Greta M. Grossman, originally conceived in mid-century California
- Available in a range of upholstery configurations
- Suited to residential and professional interiors that prioritize both craft and composition
Grossman's work has grown considerably in scholarly and collector attention over recent decades, recognized now as a bridge between Scandinavian functionalism and American modernism. The chaise is both an artifact of that history and a wholly present object.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who was Greta M. Grossman and why does her work matter?
Greta Magnusson Grossman was a Swedish-born architect and designer who emigrated to Los Angeles in 1940. Her work synthesized Scandinavian functional discipline with the relaxed, open-plan culture of California modernism, and she is now recognized as a significant but long-underappreciated figure in mid-century design history.
What is the construction and frame material of the GMG Chaise?
The GMG Chaise Longue features a solid wood frame with fully upholstered seating surfaces. GUBI offers the piece in a range of fabric and leather options, allowing the form to adapt to the material palette of a given interior.
Is the GMG Chaise Longue made to order?
Yes, the GMG Chaise Longue is produced as a made-to-order piece, which means lead times are longer than stocked items. This allows for upholstery customization but should be factored into project timelines.
How does GUBI approach archival design reissues?
GUBI works closely with designers' estates and archives to produce faithful reissues of historically significant pieces, prioritizing fidelity to original proportions and construction methods while meeting contemporary production standards.
What interior contexts suit the GMG Chaise Longue best?
The chaise reads well in residential living spaces, reading rooms, and professionally designed hospitality environments where a single recumbent form can anchor a composition. Its restrained silhouette allows it to coexist with both modernist and more eclectic interiors.
