Designed by Barba Corsini in 1955 to illuminate his newly renovated apartments in “La Pedrera” in Barcelona, the Gubi lighting Pedrera ABC Table Lamp was a functional reaction to the lighting needs of these new spaces. The exterior of the building reflected the famous naturalistic style of original designer Antoni Gaudi, while the interiors by Corsini were an extension of later European Modernism, as seen by the pure geometric shape and industrial perforated metal shell. The lamp serves a functional purpose but can also be a source of ambient light to accompany table tops in modern living spaces.
