1955
Designed by Barba Corsini & Joaquim Ruiz Millet
The Pedrera Collection comprises the ABC Table Lamp, PD2 Floor Lamp,
ANA Pendant and the H2O Table Lamp and Pendant.
In 1955, Barba Corsini renovated the loft space at An-
toni Gaudí’s La Pedrera, transforming a simple laundry
room and storage area into 13 apartments. To reinforce
the modernist style of the rooms, Corsini populated them
with his own designs, including the Pedrera Collection.
The base of the lamps was inspired by the vaulted ceilings
of La Pedrera, while the building’s perforated chimneys
gave the lampshades their form. The entire collection has
a powerfully simple character, reflecting Corsini’s person-
al design style, that is perfect for any contemporary home.
Barba Corsini designed most of the lamps, others were
created in association with his protegé, Joaquim Ruiz
Millet and one, the ABC Table Lamp, was designed by
Millet as a tribute to Corsini.
