Barba Corsini was commissioned in 1955 to rebuild the attics of the famous Antoni Gaudí emblem La Pedrera. Corsini transformed the space used as laundry and storage room into 13 modern apartments. To complete the architectural experience, Corsini designed and decorated the apartments according to his own designs, inspired by the characteristic appearance of the building.
In 1991 it was decided to restore the attic space of La Pedrera according to the original concept of Gaudí. The interior decoration made by Corsini was demolished and most of it was thrown away. During the renovation work, architect and gallery owner Joaquim Ruiz Millet discovered the PD2 floor lamp and saved it from being thrown into the trash. Ruiz Millet began to collaborate with Corsini and his designs and re-created the original pieces, especially to help save his work, make it better known and make it accessible to the public.
The modern and classic design philosophy of Barba Corsini finds its expression in the architectural table lamp H2O. With its unmistakable style and the inspiration of Corsini's legendary PD2 floor lamp, the H2O lamp brings life and character to any interior.
