pedrera abc table lamp
Many architects and furniture designers of the Bauhaus era were intent on providing well-designed homes and impeccably manufactured furnishings for the "common man". in 1955, Barba Corsini, a leading functionalist architect, realized his contemporary vision through his renovation of the loft space and the furnishings he custom designed for "La Pedrera".
Antoni Gaudi, who originally designed "La Pedrera", is generally considered the great master of Spanish Modernism but his unique body of work cannot be defined by any single style or simple classification.
Corsini was a great admirer of Finnish architecture, which he believed to be the finest in Europe on account of the powerful simplicity of the designs. 'Powerful simplicity' is indeed an apt description of Corsini's personal design style, as represented by the Pedrera series.
For the base of the lamps, inspiration came from the vaulted ceilings of La Pedrera. For the lampshades, it was the form of the cylindrical chimneys that gave Corsini his idea. The entire collection has a powerful simple character, which also is an apt description of Corsini's personal design style, and sits well in any contemporary home. Barba Corsini designed most of the lamps, others created in association with his protegé, Joaquim Ruiz Millet.
Offered in three colors with a white textile cord for white & blue versions and black textile cord for black version. On/off switch on cord.
