Pedrera Coffee Table by GubiThe Pedrera Coffee Table is designed in 1955 by Barba Corsini for the loft space at the famous landmark, La Pedrera in Barcelona. The coffee table is with its slender base and glass table top, a light table that fits into any contemporary home.The inspiration for the base of the table came from the vaulted ceilings of La Pedrera, which goes again in the Pedrera lamps, thus being characteristics for both the collection.A MODERNIST CLASSICThe modernist Pedrera Coffee Table is available with a semi-matt black, brass or chrome base.IMPRESSIVE FROM EVERY ANGLEComprising a slender, V-shaped steel base topped with flowing, organically rounded glass, the table has an airy, sculptural form that makes an impressive from every angle.THE DESIGNERSWorking with the curator and gallerist Joaquim Ruiz Millet, who had collaborated with Corsini in the past, GUBI relaunched the Pedrera Coffee Table in 2010 - two years after Corsini's death - with base options in semi-matt brass and semi-matt black steel.The addition of the new chrome option gives the table a material identity attuned to its 1950s heritage and lends a gleaming new dimension to Corsini's distinctive response to Gaudi's architectural aesthetic.
