In 1955 Barba Corsini renovated the loft space within Antoni Gaudi's famous building "La Pedrera" in Barcelona, transforming it from a simple laundry room and storage area into 13 modern duplex apartments. To reinforce the modernist style of the rooms, Corsini decorated the apartment with furniture that he designed himself, including Pedrera lamps and tables. The inspiration for the base of the lights came from the vaulted ceilings of the famous house of "La Pedrera" while the cylindrical shape and unique, perforated detail of the chimneys influenced the form of the lampshades.
