{"title":"Barba Corsini","description":"\u003cp\u003eBarba Corsini (1916-2008) was a leading functionalist architect who won international praise for his architecture and his design for La Pedrera. Corsini was strongly inspired by German architect, Mies van der Rohe and American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. He also had a great affinity to Finnish architecture, which he believed to be the finest in Europe on account of the powerful simplicity of the designs. 'Powerful simplicity' is perhaps an apt description of Corsini's personal design style, as represented by the Pedrera series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pedrera-ana-pendant","title":"Pedrera ANA Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ANA Pendant is designed by Barba Corsini in collaboration with Joaquim Ruiz Millet. The ANA Pendant is an extension to the original PD2 Floor Lamp which Corsini designed for La Pedrera in 1955, and shares the same characteristic look and iconic status. The inspiration for the lampshade is found in the form of the cylindrical chimneys of La Pedrera. The ANA Pendant has a powerful simple character, which also is an apt description of Corsini's personal design style, and fits well into any contemporary home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarba Corsini was in 1955 assigned to remodel the attics of the prominent Antoni Gaudí landmark La Pedrera. Used as a laundry room and a storage area, Corsini transformed the space into 13 modern apartments. To complete the architectural experience, Corsini specifically designed and decorated the apartments with his own designs, inspired by the characteristic appearance of the building.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1991, it was decided that the loft space of La Pedrera should be restored according to the original conception of Gaudí. The interior made by Corsini was torn down and most of it thrown away. During the renovation the architect and gallerist, Joaquim Ruiz Millet, discovered the PD2 Floor Lamp and saved it from being thrown in the trash. Ruiz Millet started to collaborate with Corsini and his designs, and recreated the original pieces, specifically in order to help rescuing his work, make it more known and available for the public.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barba Corsini","offers":[{"title":"Black Semi Matt 10004186","offer_id":44601944735990,"sku":"GU-PD5-ANA_5e0487d1b0703706c5b75e12","price":800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red (Discontinued)","offer_id":48512679510262,"sku":"GU-PD5-ANA_62d9184b7edf1c3e597aca87","price":800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":48512679543030,"sku":"GU-PD5-ANA_683e2198cbb1526c23a52c6c","price":1690.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":48512679575798,"sku":"GU-PD5-ANA_683e2198cbb1526c23a52c73","price":800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0337\/3871\/9365\/files\/5e8e66f0228a3d237f852065_bab2bd6e-4158-46eb-ab25-83fd81caaf89.jpg?v=1771719966"},{"product_id":"pedrera-coffee-table","title":"Pedrera Coffee Table","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pedrera Coffee Table is designed in 1955 by Barba Corsini for the loft space at the famous landmark, La Pedrera in Barcelona.
