The H2O table lamp in Black is an excellent example of Barba Corsini’s classically modern design philosophy. H2O was created by Barba Corsini in collaboration with Joaquim Ruiz Millet, and its characteristic style was inspired by Corsini’s iconic PD2 standing lamp. The H2O table lamp provides light, life and character regardless of your preferred style of décor.
Barba Corsini was chosen in 1955 to renovate the attics at the prominent Antoni Gaudí landmark, La Pedrera. He transformed a laundry and storage area to 13 modern flats. In order to complete the architectural experience, Corsini designed and decorated the flats with his own designs, inspired by the characteristic appearance of the buildings.
In 1991, it was decided that the attics at La Pedrera should be restored in accordance with Gaudí’s original vision. The Corsini interiors were torn down and largely thrown away, but during the renovations the architect and gallery-owner Joaquim Ruiz Millet discovered the PD2 standing lamp and rescued it. Ruiz Millet started a collaboration with Corsini. recreating the original products and making them more accessible to the public.
