Powerful simplicity inspired by La Pedrera

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.
