Designer and architect Greta Magnusson Grossman first gained fame in her native Sweden, where she established her store and workshop and was the first woman to earn a prize for furniture design from the Swedish Society of Industrial Design. In 1940, she married jazz musician Billy Grossman and moved to Los Angeles, where she opened the Magnusson Grossman Studio on Rodeo Drive and rapidly became popular among the Hollywood elite. Combining her Scandinavian roots with laid-back West Coast style, Magnusson Grossman became a notable contributor to California modernism.
