Gubi Pedrera PD1 table lamp

Pedrera Lighting Series. In 1955, the real estate company managing Antoni Gaudí's famous residential building "Pedrera" in Barcelona planned to add additional living units in its attic. The managers approached architect Barba Corsini, who designed thirteen individual apartments (which were promptly numbered from One to Fourteen due to Spanish superstition). The commission also included the implementation of all furniture and lighting, for which Barba Corsini drew inspiration from the shape of the chimneys that Antoni Gaudí had originally placed on the building. Although Barba Corsini received great international acclaim for his work on this project, the Danish manufacturer Gubi only released the entire lighting collection as a late tribute in 2010: Whether it's the table lamp PD1, floor lamp PD2, or pendant lamp PD3 - Gubi's lighting series continues to enrich living culture even today. Pedrera PD1 Table Lamp. Rising from a typical 1950s, delicately zigzagged three-legged base is a round lampshade that is more complex in structure than it appears: The outer perforated metal shade is coated with wet paint, while the interior features a fire-retardant plastic to prevent the burning light bulb (E27 socket, max. 60 W) from being harsh on the eyes. A textile-wrapped cable with a cord switch completes the successful Pedrera PD1 table lamp from Gubi.
