ctu
It's also announced via de GUBI site:
http://www.gubi.dk/

As an aside.
.. Gubi (DK) is also planning to relaunch some of Mategot's things (which I don't care for),
and is currently holding rights on the Semi lamp (including versions in fugly colors imho).

The Grossman Grasshopper...
The Grossman Grasshopper lamp will be carried by DWR. Hopefully the price won't be too high.

this is a true story
I got mine on ebay for $42 as a "buy it now".
Not a big deal to me but may be an issue for others, the seller repainted it.

For $42 dollars
... it could be painted with an airbrush unicorn!
It's a great design, and if you have to paint it again to restore the original color who cares.
Great lamp.
Great score.
Enjoy it.

Do you remember how the Ebay...
Do you remember how the Ebay listing described it? I am assuming it probably had not been listed for very long before you happened across it?

Listing
cant remember the exact listing title.
It was something like "vintage iron lamp"
-I know it is not nice to benefit from someones misfortune of not knowing what they are selling but I nearly had a heart attack when it came up during one of my routine searches for lamps. Starting bid of 35 or buy it now for $42!
Long story short.....somehow the seller realized what they had the next day and emailed me saying that I was really lucky, that she had since learned from others (not sure how) what she had sold and she was still kind enough to still complete the transaction.

Pricing
jdip, that's a great looking lamp - i like the color it is right now. I am honestly a little jealous. if you were to live in Europe, i'd offer to buy it off you when you tire of it. (it would look great next to my grey wool sofa)
@ Podboy, ELLE DECO UK was quoting prices for the new Gubi floorlamp : it seems it would be priced more or less comparable with a new AJ Visor floorlamp. So that's not so bad..

Grossman lamps
Are priced between £250 to £500. The one above was £455 from memory

Thanks for the tip ite!...
Thanks for the tip ite! They look great, although the Grasshopper made by Bergboms had a more elegant joint I think. But I am not complaining. I will probably buy one. In black.
