In 1955, functionalist architect Barba Corsini renovated Antoni Gaudi's 'La Pedrera' building in Barcelona and designed the furniture for the apartments, including a collection of lights. Designed by Joaquim Ruiz Millet as a tribute to his mentor Corsini, the Pedrera Ana pendant lamp is inspired by the Pedrera ceilings, with the shades taking the shape of the perforated sheet-metal chimneys. Both classic and modern, this lamp emits light directly downwards and is dimmed at the sides thanks to the perforated metal. Produced by Gubi, the Pedrera floor lamp adds a graphic touch to a living room or bedroom and diffuses a soft light.
Danish brand Gubi reissues some of the greatest design classics created since 1967. Situated on Copenhagen docks, Gubi’s head office spans over 2000m2 in a former tobacco factory renovated into a large, modern exhibition loft space. Gubi is a designer renowned for creating, developing and marketing a bold and sleek collection of furniture, lighting and interior objects around the world.
Iconic pieces evoke emotion and tell meaningful stories that make them both timeless and long-lasting. Gubi views itself as a treasure hunter who considers curiosity, courage, and intuition as the keys to success.
