Barba Corsini

Barba Corsini (1916–2008) was a celebrated Spanish architect and designer whose functionalist approach left an indelible mark on modernist architecture and lighting design. Best known for his transformation of the attic space in Barcelona’s iconic La Pedrera building, Corsini created striking interiors and furnishings that balanced simplicity with elegance. Influenced by modernist pioneers like Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Alvar Aalto, Corsini’s work is defined by its clean lines, attention to detail, and timeless functionality.

The Pedrera Collection, inspired by Corsini’s renovation of Antoni Gaudí’s masterpiece, exemplifies his philosophy of “powerful simplicity.” This collection, including the distinctive Pedrera lamp, embodies the interplay of geometric forms and practical design. Corsini’s legacy endures as a symbol of Spanish modernism, with his works continuing to inspire architects and designers worldwide.
